Many people arrive on the dance-floor holding tension in their bodies, emotionally numb, or stuck in โfreezeโ mode whether from trauma, chronic stress, or simply the habit of bracing against life. This can show up as inertia or resistance or overthinking - an avoidance of vulnerability at all costs. And hereโs the thing - the dance-floor is a metaphor for life - how you move is how you live!
Using the 5Rhythmsยฎ Waves Map and by paying conscious attention to one's thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment, moment by moment, this workshop gently guides you from the protective amour of inertia and tension into embodied presence, emotional expression, and somatic freedom.
That means I will guide you towards safely re-inhabiting your body, awakening your breath, and dissolving your inner barriers to your true and genuine self expression. No prior experience required. All bodies welcome. We move. We sit. We meditate. We share. (We will not be dancing continuously for the entire 3 hours!)

You will feel more alive and present in the body
You will restore trust in your bodyโs wisdom and natural intuition
You will develop tools to recognise and dissolve inertia and tension
You will leave feeling emotionally lighter, physically freer, and deeply grounded
Led by Stuart Phillips, an Elm Grove Yogi for 10+ years and an accredited 5Rhythms Teacher, he found 5Rhythms in 2007 and after completing the Teacher Training in 2018, he leads classes and workshops in the UK and Europe.

The 5Rhythms comprise a simple movement practice, the foundation of the late Gabrielle Rothโs work, a series of healing maps for the body, heart, mind, soul and spirit.
Designed to release the dancer that lives in every body, no matter what its shape, size, age, limitations and experience.
To find your dance is to find yourself, at your most fluid and creative level. While the practice itself is the essence of simplicity, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression.
The primary teaching of this work is: If you put the psyche in motion, it will heal itself.
The 5Rhythms are flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. They come together to create the Wave, a movement meditation practice.
Rather than having steps to follow, each rhythm is a different energy field in which you find your own expression and choreography, thereby stretching your imagination as well as your body.
Each rhythm is a teacher and you can expect to meet different and sometimes unknown aspects of yourself as your dance unfolds and your practice of the rhythms deepens over time.
The 5Rhythms โ Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness โ are states of Being.
They are a map to everywhere we want to go, on all planes of consciousness โ inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional and intellectual.
They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild passionate, instinctive self.
