The 5Rhythms is a danced based meditation practice. There is no right way or wrong way to dance it. The goal is to use your own authentic movements (moving in ways that feel good to you) to follow the 5Rhythms waves map: flowing (round, circular movements); staccato (angular, definite movements); chaos (unpredictable, chaotic movements); lyrical (light, effortless movements) and stillness (movements that are both internal and external). This powerful dance practice is designed to increase your sense of wellness and personal liberation. This Shaking Spirit Waves 5Rhythms class will focus on exploring the whole of us through movement! Carolyn Elliot's work, Essential Kink posits that humans become superstars when they can accept every single aspect of themselves tattered, dank bits and all. In class we will practice bringing our generous delight to our shadows together.
