Upcoming Workshops

Sweet Spot - Weekend

Bristol - 8 Mar 2025 to 9 Mar 2025
Neil Pinnock

Sweet Spot - Bristol

Saturday 8th - Waves level
& Sunday 9th March - Heartbeat level

Dance Studio, Kingswood Estate, Britania Road, Bristol BS15 8DB

"Freeing the body inevitably leads to freeing the heart." Gabrielle Roth

Dancers are welcome to attend for one day on Saturday or both days for a fuller experience.

Over these two days we will dance with Gabrielle's maps of the body and of the heart. Saturday counts as a one day 'Waves' and Sunday as one day 'Heartbeat' for the 5RTT.

In this workshop we will explore how to find the 'Sweet Spot' in the dance and in our life. Day one will work through 'Waves' level in the body and day two on 'Heartbeat' level of emotions through the embodied heart.

We can spend a lot of our time and energy in life trying too hard or holding back. Resisting or pushing. Yet there is a place within us all where body, heart, mind and emotions are in harmony and balance and we find ease and flow. I call this the Sweet Spot. We can track this through our dance, through all of the rhythms, through our body and emotional states. When we come close to this place we may well tap into our passion and power, we may find ease, grace and pleasure. Whatever we encounter, if we keep exploring, allowing and welcoming our true dance beyond the struggles and resistance, we may encounter the Sweet Spot and embody our life again with fullness and presence, with energy, ease and joy. The 5Rhythms practice guides us to a deeper intuitive embodiment, feeling our way and freeing the heart, allowing us to mindfully attune our whole system and find a more balanced and harmonious Sweet Spot in the midst of all our movements.

Price :

Saturday and Sunday - £130 if booked in Feb - £140 if booked in March

Saturday only - £65 if booked in Feb - £70 if booked in March

The River 1/4

Lancaster - 16 Mar 2025 to 16 Mar 2025
Mark Austin

Step into The River, a yearlong journey grounded in the transformative practice of 5Rhythms®, with complementary elements of Somatic Movement and Body-Mind Centering® to deepen your exploration of creativity and embodiment.
Led by Mark Austin, an accredited 5Rhythms teacher, supported by Stéphanie Bairet, a certified Body-Mind Centering educator and yoga teacher, this workshop series offers four immersive sessions over 12 months. Each session reflects a season, inviting us to return to the body to explore the creative rhythms of life in alignment with nature’s rhythms.
This is a closed, ongoing group, creating a safe and supportive environment to build trust, go deeper, and nurture lasting transformation across the year.
What to Expect:
- 5Rhythms dance as the core practice, guiding you through the rhythms of Flow, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness.
- Complementary somatic movement principles (Body-Mind Centering and Skinner Releasing Technique™)to support embodied awareness and creativity.
- A committed group space for cultivating connection, self enquiry and shared growth.

About the Workshop:
At its heart, The River is a journey through the dynamic and transformative energy of 5Rhythms, a movement meditation practice that helps us connect with our bodies and make space for us to connect with our creativity. Complementary somatic exercises offer additional depth, grounding, and embodiment insights.
The workshop also takes inspiration from Jamie Catto. "The huge, sexy river of creativity and wisdom is available to everyone in every moment - even this one right now - but it’s through melting and opening not ‘generating’ and ‘do-ing’."
Through this closed group, we’ll move together across the seasons as the River Lune flows by the dance space, creating a foundation of trust and community that allows us to go deeper into the creative and embodied process.
About Us:
Mark Austin is an accredited 5Rhythms teacher offering regular classes in Manchester and LIverpool.
Stephanie Bairet is a certified Body-Mind Centering practitioner, facilitating embodiment principles.
Together, we aim to provide a supportive and inspiring space for movement, creativity, self- awareness.
Spaces will be limited in this closed group. Reserve your spot today to join The River and let your creativity flow!

“Dancing the 5Rhythms connects me to the ever-present yet invisible divine life force that moves us all. ”

“Sometimes it can take a few steps to get to our deepest truth. As we get closer and closer to it within ourselves, we can feel a huge vibratory shift in our body that signals we have arrived. The vibration is our aliveness returning. - C. Caldwell”

“Each of the rhythms takes us on a journey, the body being the vehicle and the wave our map.....with these we can go anywhere”

“Bring your whole self to the dancefloor.”

““Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.” ”

“'Your soul is born out of the unity of your body, your heart, your mind, and it is moved by universal spirit' (Gabrielle Roth, Connections, Jeremy Tarcher/Penguin, page 114)”
