What are the 5Rhythms?

Gabrielle Roth

5Rhythms is a dynamic, moving meditation practice—a practice of being in your body—that ignites creativity, connection, and community. While a seemingly simple process, the 5Rhythms practice facilitates deep and unending explorations, moving the dancer beyond self-imposed limitations and isolation into new depths of creativity and connection. Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is 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 suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action.



In Flow, we practice the art of being fluid with ourselves and in our bodies.



In Staccato we practice focus, being clear.



In Chaos, we practice letting go and surrendering to our creativity.



In Lyrical we practice effortlessness.



In Stillness we practice emptying and doing nothing.
