One of the most powerful, amazing things I have experienced. Amanda
If you ever have an opportunity to take a 5Rhythms workshop or class, do it. If you go for it, lean into any discomfort and listen to your body. Tears might flow, muscles might ache, body might shake, blood blisters might form, sweat might pour, and heart might ache… and possibly burst wide open! Words fall short of expressing my total experience and perhaps one day I will share it with you through dance. I am so grateful these magical moments are etched in my body, heart, mind, and soul. Celina Canales
Another incredible weekend of powerful shifts, raw unapologetic honesty and soul nakedness. Reem
I’ve never done a weekend where I’ve had such boundless energy…I LOVED every second of it! Theresa
I was mourning a dear family member and friend who unexpectedly died last week. Through dancing and connecting I could transform the overwhelming emotions and move to the next stage of this separation. Your dancefloor is one of the few places in the world where I can touch my wholeness of light and shade and find the courage to bring it to new places. F. Gomis
Our week end allowed me to transfer what you teach in the everyday life, and my golfing and martial art coaching. Frédéric
This workshop opened my eyes to transforming fear into empowerment. Tony
This workshop changed my life! Ray Diaz (5R teacher)
What I saw, what I felt during those 4 days felt more real than anything else in my life. Kristiina Salo
An unbelievable deep dive into my emotions. Marcus
An incredible and life changing weekend Ted
I really ‘got’ something that day; now here I am, following my dream. Chris B
The 5 Rhythms workshop for men that I attended was extraordinary – it really did change my life in a weekend. It was some years ago now and, since then, I have done many 5 Rhythms workshops and a number of men’s workshops, and this is probably the one I find myself talking about most often – took us into challenging, deep and very healing places. Jon Ralls
What a truly transformative weekend. I am not the same person that I was three days ago. I feel more vulnerable, but also stronger and clearer about what I want and what I don’t want, and what I stand for. Johanna
A great improvement in my golf swing! More power and more precise :) During these incredible swings, I was feeling in connexion with the space; the course was a part of myself. The same feeling as the space connexion in the dance floor. Oliver
“When people ask me how it was and what was happening I’m not sure what to say to them. We don’t have any mutual concept from where I should start talking. I can’t even explain it to myself and thankfully I’m wise enough not to feel a need to. I just feel different and thankful for whatever was happening there. I’m feeling more peace, courage and space in my life.” Sasa
I am finding myself to be more trusting of the universe and of my intuition and able to connect to a new depth within my dance as well as with my loved ones. Mel
I am awed at how my awareness has been altered. I love this practice. Terrifying, loving, deep, supportive, exhilarating, honest and expansive. The clarity that came through for me was unexpected, shocking and unbelievably true. Truer than anything I’ve ever felt. Elizabeth C
[That workshop] made me love humanity, opened the doors to empathy and compassion, to truth and trust. Catherine Elvinger
One of the most exhilarating and enjoyable times I have experienced. Chantelle
It was a blessing beyond words. Truly a rite of passage into maturity for me. Lewin
I am being more honest in a relationship where I haven’t been authentic. I’m taking more responsibility for my feelings and my thoughts instead of blaming and building up resentment which feels great. Bernadette
One of the deepest and most profoud experiences in my life. Ania
Since the workshop the the world on the outside and inside started openening up, like turning the page in a book, seeing things I couldn’t see and understand before, making connections where there were none before and beginning to feel different emotions within me. Yeah, its been beautiful. Rut
For the first time I knew how to face [an event I was anxious about] and remained calm. I have travelled a lot in my life, through war zones and peacefull landscapes, in Africa, South East Asia, the Caucasus, in America, to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean… But this journey was special. Alexandra, International Consultant
I have experienced a life and sparkle in me that I had lost in the past years. Helene
This workshop with you has been (and still is now months later) a deep change in my personal life. The most impressive intense wonderful deep touching transforming 5R-workshop I’ve ever done and I wanna thank you again with all my heart. Natasia
WOW! I do believe your workshop has been my highest learning curve yet. Christine
For the first time of my life I have the power and trust to allow myself to really feel and breathe. Sophie
Doors and portals flung open. Air and light got in. I got to feel and understand more pieces of the mystery in my being and best of all my heart opened a big bit more. Marianne
I feel it as light and deep: I had so much fun!! AND I also got to work out many stories, feelings and stuck energies. But I did it in such a swirling, flowing, lyrical way, both grounded and light, that I feel it really had time to enter my body and have a real influence. Masha
An incredible couple of days. I’ve been brimming with energy, love and the feeling of inspiration ever since. Damian
The 5Rhythms is a movement-based meditation practice. You’re not copying someone else’s steps, but creating your own, learning to listen inside yourself and sense how your body wants to move naturally.
You’ll explore different movement styles, with or without music, sometimes alone, sometimes with a partner or in small groups.
It’s OK to have physical limitations, and you’ll be free to go at your own pace. You may feel self-conscious at first, but newcomers are usually amazed at how quickly that passes.
The experience of being in a 5Rhythms class or workshop can vary hugely. It can be totally exhilarating, then the next moment profoundly challenging, then quite ordinary and no big deal. You may feel more alive than you’ve ever known, incredibly sensitive to everything that’s happening, full of creative energy and inspiration. At other times you may feel vulnerable, shy, or out of your depth. Over time you get to learn how to simply move through all these states of consciousness, becoming a skilful surfer of your own waves of energy, which becomes a highly practical and transferable life-skill.
As a beginner you may feel self-concious at first, but people are usually surprised at how quickly that passes. It’s not about being good at anything, or getting it right. It’s fine to be awkward or brilliant, expressive or reserved, enthusiastic or unsure. You can go at your own pace. You’re welcome as you are.
