ABOUT THE 5RHYTHMS®:
Created by Gabrielle Roth and practices 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 movement practice rooted in the principal 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 suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. Wherever the 5Rhythms 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.

“The 5Rhythms – Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness® – are states of Being. They are a map to everywhere we want to go, on all planes of consciousness – inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional and intellectual. They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild passionate, instinctive self.” (http://www.5rhythms.com/gabrielle-roths-5rhythms/what-are-the-5rhythms/)

The Sessions 2-hour program is as follows:
1st Hour
10 min Entry Grounding Music (“Ritual – Shall We Dance”) and Welcome
15 min Adam Barleys Pod cast (JOY) light warm up wave (http://www.adambarley.com/)
A light trance, a subtle wave of joy. No clear shift from one rhythm to the next, though all 5 are there, around 3 minutes each. One tempo and pitch right the way through.

Like all things Lyrical, joy is a shapeshifter with ten thousand forms, and I could have gone many different ways with music for it. I like this gentle one. Hope you do too.
35 min guided wave through Gabrielle’s Video (body parts and explanation of the five rhythms)
