5Rhythms could be your therapy

Picture
Using the body via dance is a powerful pathway toward psychological flexibility.  I highly recommend it.  The practice focuses on putting the body in motion in order to still the mind and allow the student to connect to the spiritual. The five rhythms (in order) are:
  • flowing
  • staccato
  • chaos
  • lyrical
  • stillness
The five rhythms, when danced in sequence, are known as a 'Wave'. Many students practice the discipline in weekly classes, during which a typical 'Wave' can take 45-90 minutes to dance, spending 10-20 minutes in each of the 5 rhythms in sequence. The dance is usually allowed to express itself with minimal instruction, with the teacher allowing the music (DJ’d) to lead the pace of the class, or simply teaching by example.

Melbourne classes are $15:
Tuesday with Meredith & David 7:30 – 9:30 pm @ St Brigid’s Parish, cnr Nicholson and Alexander parade, Fitzroy Thursday with Madhuma Thompson 7:30 -9:30PM @ St John’s Anglican Church 86 Clendon Rd Toorak
(Cnr of Orrong & Toorak Rd) Tram No 8, Bus No 37


It has been described by some as a mixture of a Sunday Morning Gospel Service, a Friday Night Dance Club and a Saturday Morning Aerobics class. Elements from the following styles can most likely be experienced or witnessed at any given class: traditional dance, ballet, pop, Latin, aerobics, yoga, tai chi, reiki, meditation, chanting & classical…  By putting the body in motion through each of the rhythms it is believed that one can deepen one’s understanding of natural truth and the nature of humanity, and ‘ground’ the mind (and spirit) by connecting back to the body.
