 The 5Rhythms® was created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art, and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures, and age groups to transform sufferings into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. Wherever the 5rhthytns are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock-star part of ourselves that yearns to be free. Creativity. Connection. Community.
