with Neil Pinnock

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 strong and rapid 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 currently teaches classes in Great Malvern & Stourbridge, as well as running an annual Dance Gathering at Wild Ways in Shropshire. Neil also covers classes in Birmingham, Oxford and other areas of the country.

Neil will also be running classes in Holland at a camp in 2010.
