Todos sabemos lo que se siente no querernos levantar por las mañanas, arrastrar nuestros pasos todo el día y finalmente caer otra vez en la cama. ¿Qué pasaría si en lugar de eso pudiéramos convertir nuestra inercia en arte y nuestros obstáculos en impulsos? Tomar el riesgo de bailar esas tensiones acumuladas en la mandíbula o en los hombros hasta desaparecerlas; encarnar nuestras formas primitivas y movernos orgánicamente; dejar de lado nuestro deseo de controlarlo todo, sumergirnos en nuestras profundidades y derretir el hielo que produce las sombras que a menudo opacan nuestro movimiento. Encontrémonos para bailar y atravesar hacia la luz la tierra de las sombras, guiados por el mapa de los 5Ritmos® de Gabrielle Roth.

Join me at One Ocean Yoga’s beautiful outdoor pavilion on the grounds of Channing Vineyards for an evening of Waves, the foundational map of the 5Rhythms® practice. The 5Rhythms® are a map to set us free to explore the life dance of moving and being moved. We come to the Wave to be held, heartened, informed, lightened and inspired by and through our personal and collective creativity. We dive in to realign body, heart and mind, to re-member body and soul, and to reconnect body to spirit, flesh to breath. We dance to become one. Come be one on the dance floor.

“Dancing the 5Rhythms® is a practice… a dynamic way to both workout and to meditate in the same breath…. They teach us that life is energy in motion.” –Gabrielle Roth

WHEN: Wednesday, August 24 · 7:00pm – 9:00pm

WHERE: One Ocean Yoga
1927 Scuttlehole Road
Bridgehampton, New York (map)

Join me June 23, 2011 in Antwerp, Belgium and June 24-26, 2011 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands for two new workshops: FLUENT IN MOTION and WAVE AND OCEAN.

Fluent in Motion

June 23, 2011 – Antwerp, Belgium – 7.30pm-10pm
Cost: 25 Euros
Registration: luc@owc.be

Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms® is a moving language that frees us to speak straight from the heart, beyond dialect, dogma, or doubt. With the simple clarity and endless creativity of a body in motion, we learn to connect more fully to the one and to the all. A crash course in the practice of embodied communication, we will learn the basics, expand our vocabulary, and practice being fluent in motion.

Wave and Ocean: Dances of Connection

June 24-26, 2011 – Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Cost: Friday only – 25 Euros / Full weekend – 165 Euros
Registration: dans5ritmes@hotmail.com

“You cannot conceive the many without the one.” – Plato

Does a wave know itself as separate from all other waves? Or, does a wave only know itself as the ocean? In this workshop we’ll focus our attention on our dances of connection (and separation). Join us as we dance to discover where we connect and where we lose touch, where we partner and where we part; and, how we can move more fully into being both wave and ocean. We’ll ride Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms® Wave to discover how we can be our own best partner, how we can be present for ourselves while being attentive to someone else; and, how we can be one of many, part of the whole, and the sum of all our collective parts. As both wave and ocean we will dance our way to a fresher, deeper and more loving understanding of our dances of connection: with ourselves, the other, the tribe.

“… the ocean connects every wave to every other wave, dissolving isolation…” – Dean Sluyter, The Zen Commandments

All  of us have had times in our life that feel like all we are doing is trudging through, sucking it up, hanging on by the skin of our teeth, and trying our hardest to get it over with (whatever “it” is). We know  in our bodies, hearts, and minds that somewhere out there is an easier way of moving through life but we can’t seem to get out of the way long enough to find it. The 5Rhythms allows us to explore infinite possibilities of moving through this life in a more effortless way. They provide a map where we  can follow our own energy, learn to get out of our own way, and  surrender to what is. They offer a guide to embodying a lighter way of  being and provide a refuge in which to relax into the simple pleasure of  being a body well danced. Come drop those shoulders, unclench that jaw,  release your grip, lighten up and join us for a weekend of “easing  living” on the dance floor.

Join me in St. Augustine, Florida, January 19-21, 2011 for Heart’s Content, a 5rhythms® Heartbeat workshop.

When I began to practice the 5Rhythms® I was thrilled, delighted, excited and seduced by the sheer joy of being in motion.  As I fell more and more in love with being danced I became increasingly aware that my evolving dances were the mirror of my emotions. I began to crave excavating the dances of my heart, putting into motion the fear in my bones, the anger in my blood, the sorrow in my sighs.

To embody my growing awareness that hanging on to happy was getting in the way of my being joy. And that it was this ever deepening dance that would give me the tools to live in love.

I hope you’ll join me as we try on our dances of the heart, one step at a time, with humor, compassion and hope.

~ Tammy
