“Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms.
A human being is just that, energy, waves, patterns, rhythms.
Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance.”
Gabrielle Roth
The 5 Rhythms™, devised and developed by Gabrielle Roth, is a moving meditation of listening and moving our bodies. Through it we can in deepen our awareness and transform our lives. The rhythms are a powerful and deceptively simple way to transform ourselves into the fullest embodiment and manifestation of our essential selves.
Supported through music and facilitator guidance, the 'Wave' begins with FLOWING, a gentle circular, fluid motion. With an increasing syncopated beat we come into STACCATO which eventually gives way to a rapid random beat inviting in the rhythm of CHAOS. Coming out of the crest of the wave we tap into spontaneous creativity in LYRICAL, and finally in STILLNESS we come home to ourselves.
Neil Pinnock has been dancing the 5 Rhythms since 2001 and trained as a teacher of 5Rhythms with Gabrielle Roth and faculty in 2008. Based in the West Midlands in England, Neil teaches regular classes in Great Malvern & Birmingham, as well as running seasonal Dance Gatherings at Wild Ways in Shropshire. Neil also covers classes in other areas of the country and runs workshops in Holland from time to time.
Neil is a passionate dancer & teacher and teaches 5 Rhythms when he can.
As a member of the 5RTA any hours danced with him count towards your future training in 5 Rhythms with Gabrielle Roth.
