What to Expect
The 5Rhythms is a dynamic, body-based movement practice that sparks creativity, connection, and community. Created by Gabrielle Roth, the 5Rhythms—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness®—are states of being that reconnect us to our wild, instinctive, and deeply human selves. This is transformational embodiment medicine—set to music, danced by the sea.
