5Rhythms® with Tammy Burstein

Wave. Swelling.
Wave. Building.
Wave. Breaking.
Wave. Shimmering.
Wave. Expanding out and down and back to –
Waves. A practice. A journey. A sea for love.

The new, re-vamped, easier to use 5Rhythms.com is the place to go to find not only my offerings but classes and workshops being held world-wide by all the members of the 5Rhythms Teachers Association (5RTA).  5RTA teachers are the only 5Rhythms teachers whose classes and workshops fulfill the prerequisite hours necessary to apply to the 5Rhythms Teacher Training program.  In addition, the continuing education hours required of 5RTA members ensure that all classes and workshops taught by members are grounded in both the foundations of the 5Rhythms while being inspired by what it means to be part of a living, breathing, evolving practice.

I hope you’ll join me (of course) at one of my classes or workshops as we continue to love to move, one step at a time, heartbeat to the beat, with love on the dance floor.

And now that you’ve read up on how these three were moved,  bring your story to the dance floor to be re-written in motion!

Every Friday in NYC:  Night Waves, 7.30-9.30pm, Joffrey, 434 6th Ave., 5th Flr., $20, $15 (students).  Class cards, $150 for 10 classes, $250 for 20 classes. (No admittance after 8.30pm.)

And so we have transitioned into yet another in the infinite series of new years we dance through constantly.  Celestial new years, cultural new years, religious new years, new you years – rebirth and re-invention is a given and a possibility in our lives from birth to death, and even then remembrance lives in the bodies, the hearts, the minds of those whom we have loved and who have loved us.  May each “new year” throughout 2013 bring us the opportunity for transformation – here’s to a happy new year every day!

2013 brings us new chances to dance along the 5Rhythms® map together and I hope that we will share many journeys together this turn of the calendar.  I hope you will be joining me on the soul sanctuary of the dance floor for:

“You have the power to become aware of the emotions that are coursing through your life – to know the contours, the patterns, the dynamics of your feelings, what they focus on and how they move.” –Gabrielle Roth, Maps to Ecstasy

We know that instead of partnering with our emotions, we often dance away from, around, against, and beside our fear, our anger, our sadness, even our joy. What if instead of denying our emotions, resisting them, or persisting with them we could learn to move with and through them

Night Waves class returns to its 2 hour format this week (7.30-9.30pm).

Thank you thank you thank you everyone who joined us last Friday for our annual Gratitude event.  In this time of great needs and many pleas for donations for so many needy causes thank you to everyone who came out to dance our thanks and to benefit our adopted elders in Bogota, Colombia.  $500+ (with donations still coming in)!  Thank you for tenderly tendering your thanks, dropping in to thank the earth, extending out to thank each other, dropping it all down to thank all beings, to smell the sweetness of the roses in the air and see the beauty of the unknown in a crystal ball.  Thank you.

Join us every Friday, Joffrey Ballet, 434 6th Ave., 5th Flr., 7.30-9.30pm, $20, $15 (students)

Whether we see right on the surface how much we have to give thanks for this year, or we have to dig down deep below the surface to find the momentum to move with gratitude – please join us this Friday for Gratitude 2012 – to dance with ritual thanks for that which has been, that which is, and that which will be.

This special 3 hour event will benefit (as it has for so many years) our adopted 5Rhythms® dancing elders in Bogota, Colombia,

just one of the many world-wide communities that are sparked into motion by the 5Rhythms Reach Out (www.5rro.org).

The cost of this event is $25, $20 (students) – price includes a $5 donation for the elders to continue to support providing them with on-going 5Rhythms® classes. (Class card holders may use their cards and add $5 for the donation.)

7.30-10.30pm, Joffrey, 434 6th Ave., 5th Flr.

Thank you all for being part of this global tribe, feet first, heart forward, mind opened, soulfully joining in spirit around the globe.

With gratitude, unending and immeasureable, for Gabrielle Roth (1941-2012) and her loving insight and incomparable vision for us all.

“Your soul is a seeker, lover, and artist, shapeshifting through archetypal fields of energy, between your darkness and light, your body and spirit, your heaven and hell, until you land in the sweet moment of surrender when you, as dancer, disappear in the dance.” – G.R., Sweat Your Prayers

i love you,

tammy

From Gabrielle’s book Sweat Your Prayers –

“Your soul is a seeker, lover, and artist, shapeshifting through archetypal fields of energy, between your darkness and light, your body and spirit, your heaven and hell, until you land in the sweet moment of surrender when you, as dancer, disappear in the dance.”

In love and awe of Gabrielle’s immeasureable contributions to the art and healing of being human please consider making a contribution to the 5Rhythms Reach Out.
