Wave - a Sequence of 5 Rhythms
The 5 Rhythms is a dynamic moving meditation and expressive dance practice created by Gabrielle Roth. Danced in a sequence called a "Wave," the practice is a map meant to embody different states of being and release the mind through physical movement.

Flowing
The rhythm of the body, fluidity, and feminine energy.
Focus: Grounding, finding your center, and connecting to your own natural movement and inner truth. You learn to follow your own physical instincts rather than controlling them.

Staccato
The rhythm of the heart, fire, and masculine energy.
Focus: Sharp, percussive, and angular movements. It is about setting boundaries, expressing your feelings, and communicating clearly.

Chaos
The rhythm of the mind and water.
Focus: Surrendering control, letting go of judgments, and releasing your body into unpredictable movement. It acts as a bridge to clear mental clutter and welcome the unknown.

Lyrical
The rhythm of the soul and air.
Focus: Surrendering control, letting go of judgments, and releasing your body into unpredictable movement. It acts as a bridge to clear mental clutter and welcome the unknown.

Stillness
The rhythm of the spirit and ether.
Focus: Integration and inner peace. The body slows down to a meditative state, bringing awareness to the present moment where all contraries dissolve into oneness.
