5Rhythms® Sweat with Jannie Schaffer

With minimal verbal instruction, we will practice dancing through the 5Rhythms: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness in a moving meditation.

This class begins with an unguided warm-up, then a brief introduction of the 5Rhythms practice, followed by a 1-hour dance guided by rhythm and music through the each of the 5Rhythms.

Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the body in motion, the psyche 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.

This class is offered as part of the 5Rhythms Teacher in Training mentorship program.

Jannie is mentored by Sara Mains of Gorge 5Rhythms & Alessandro Moruzzi of 5Rhythms San Francisco.
