The 5Rhythms® is a simple, powerful moving meditation that anyone – of any age, size, or physical ability - can practice. There are no steps to follow, no choreography to learn, no way to do it wrong. The only requirement is a body that is still breathing, a heart that is still beating, and mind that is still curious! The teacher can use music, examples and exercises to co-create a meditation practice based in movement. The 5Rhythms are a resource, a means back to our center, our core, our knowing of ourselves. Simply by moving our bodies through these distinct rhythms we empower ourselves to discover and remember who we are.

- FLOWING – the fluid, continuous, grounded glide of our own movements
- STACCATO – the percussive, pulsing beat that shapes us a thousand different ways
- CHAOS– the rhythm of letting go, releasing into the catalytic wildness of our dance that can never be planned or repeated
- LYRICAL – the rhythm of trance, where the weight of self-consciousness dissolves, where we lighten up and disappear into our own uniqueness
- STILLNESS – the quiet emptiness, where gentle movements rise and fall, start and end, in a field of silence
