I met Naissan in the bar. She told me she didn't know how to start her new biography. 

I'm not sure why she asked for my help. I do not dance and am as wooden as a wooden spoon. 

But she told me, that in the 5Rhythms, she had found the place she belonged. She told me, that with Iranian parents, she was always being told she was way too much. 

A dog barked in the bar and I felt the hairs on my neck stand on end.

She said she had something in her. Ever since she was a child. An ability to guide and to support. It's the reason she opened her taichi and yoga school when she was 25. 

I ordered another beer. 

She told me about Johnathan, her teacher who looked like a bear, who, more than the 5 rhythms, taught her how to guide a group, how to adapt, to grow, to never change who you are. 

I don't know much about 5 rhythms. Naissan danced in the orange-light square to explain it to me. I don't know the different names or why people do it. But I do know, with all my heart, that Naissan is exactly the teacher I would love to have.                   Luke Carter
