"Movement Meditation a “5Rhythms Taster Day” in Swindon
It took a while for me to feel the benefits, other than getting out and having my own space, which anyone who has or can remember having a 2 year old around will understand is of great value in itself. I was getting space by going to my pilates and yoga classes but 5 Rhythms was different, it was about being me, not following someone else.
The beauty of it is that you dance your own dance, within your own comfort zone so there is no need to do anything that strains your body. There are no steps to learn and you can never get it wrong. This brings so much freedom to the body that it frees the mind and the mind is so free to explore that it frees the body.
The classes and workshops have helped me be more in tune with what is going on in my life. I am more aware and respect the different rhythms that go on all around and inside me. Now it brings back the freedom and fun in my body that gets lost with the every day demands of bringing up a child and running my own business from home. It allows me to receive in the way I give to my clients.
Can this really help me?

You can come and find out for yourself during our taster session on the 29th October
DISCOVER HOW CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT CAN HELP YOU TO BE MORE AT PEACE AND COMFORTABLE WITH THE RHYTHMS THAT RULE YOUR LIFE…
Dancing
the 5rhythms’ is a beautiful exploration of our ability to be conscious
of how we are in any one moment and to express this through movement.
“For
me the healing occurs when someone finds their own dance, whatever it
feels like, and goes with it, finding something new for themselves; and
giving themselves permission to be just as they are.”
PROGRAMME
During
the morning session we will go through the rhythms so that you can
begin to feel them in your own way; I will encourage you to "FLOW" for
yourself then to allow the beat to take you into "STACCATO", to then
move into "CHAOS" with curiosity; to drop into "LYRICAL" and find that
part of yourself that wishes to sing and embrace everything and then
lastly to find peace and quiet in "STILLNESS".
In
the afternoon session, we will go through the 5 Rhythms again but with
more focus on being conscious of what is present for us in the moment
and how our movement is affected by our thoughts and our feelings. At
the same time I will explore with you how each rhythm has its' own
flavour and each session is an exploration into being mindful and in the
present.
We will look for the "sweet spot", the place where we feel wholly
together in body, feelings and mind; together with another, the group
and the setting. Searching for this combination of the whole self, and
repeating the dance as we feel it, can lead into that energetic space
where there is only the beat, your breath, your heartbeat and the space
to be you
The music is varied: electronica, jazz, classical, pop, rock and roll, alternative, some fast some slow.
