The Moving Body Map is a 6-week 5Rhythms® workshop offered as a weekly class series for dancers and conscious movers who want to dance with more freedom while caring for their bodies.
Each week includes a full 5Rhythms® wave (Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness) and practical, somatic body-care guidance you can feel immediately and use beyond the dance floor. This work supports sustainable movement—grounding, breath, balance, and recovery—so you can dance fully and feel supported afterward.
If you’ve ever left a dance with sore knees, tight hips, a cranky neck, tense shoulders, or feet that complain later, this series offers real tools to move differently. Not medical. Not theoretical. Just movement, awareness, and anatomy-in-motion inside a lived 5Rhythms® practice.
This workshop is open to dancers and movers of all levels. You move at your own pace, within your edge, in a welcoming and inclusive space.
This is a weekly class in a series (Jan 8–Feb 12). Consistency supports deeper benefits.
Come as you are. Your body already knows the way.

Crossroads in Motion — 6-Week 5Rhythms Series
Starts Thu, Feb 19 (6 consecutive Thursdays)
Crossroads are the moments life asks for a turn—and your body feels it.
Divorce (or the long aftershocks).
Health changes: diagnosis, recovery, uncertainty.
Life cycle shifts: grief, menopause, relocation, children leaving, aging parents.
The crossroads between life and work: burnout, boundaries, pressure, “something has to change.”
These moments aren’t only mental. They live in the nervous system: breath, sleep, posture, tension, decision fatigue. This series offers a regular, supportive practice to move what’s real—so you’re not carrying it alone.
We use the 5Rhythms as a simple, steady map:
Flowing (ground + arrive)
Staccato (choices + boundaries)
Chaos (release what’s gripping)
Lyrical (space + possibility)
Stillness (integration + next step)
You don’t have to have clarity before you come.
You don’t have to be “in shape” or “in a good mood.”
You just have to show up.
Thursdays: Feb 19, Feb 26, Mar 5, Mar 12, Mar 19, Mar 26
