The Moving Body Map 6-Week 5Rhythms® Series

San Francisco - 8 Jan 2026 to 12 Feb 2026
Bettina-Kira Neumann

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.
