5Rhythms: Dancing with Sacred Choice and the 5th Chakra

​The sacred truth of the fifth Chakra is 'Surrender Personal Will to Divine Will.'

The Vishuddha chakra or 'throat chakra' frequently connects with the sixth and seventh chakras, where Divine guidance flows through the body's energy pathways. ​

---

When this energy flows to the throat area, we are freed to speak our truth and exist from a place of self-expression and choice.

Choice is a sacred right. May we choose in support of our well-being, may we express from a place of honesty, and may we select that which is truly supportive of others.

In opening this Chakra, we let go of control of ourselves and others. We surrender to a higher truth. 

I invite you to come express your truth with your movements this Wednesday night. Move the tv, move the couch, move your body, and make room for your spirit to soar.

"Dancers have too much to say to do it all in words, so we keep dancing."

With love,

Sylvie and the SDP Team

ABOUT SYLVIE MINOT'S 5RHYTHMS CLASS

In Sylvie Minot’s weekly online 5Rhythms class, you will be led on a journey of self-discovery as you join others in community. The class is made up of two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go of your day and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme.

5Rhythms is a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every body regardless of shape, size, age, or experience. While the dance itself is simple, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression.

The primary teaching of this work is: If you put your psyche in motion, it will heal itself.

The five rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. They come together to create a wave.

Classes feature DJ music that is facilitated by the teacher, Sylvie Minot. There are no dance steps to follow, but you are guided in breath and movement through the different musical choices. Each rhythm has its own energy and tempo in which you tap into the wisdom of your body, bring awareness to the patterns in yourself and your life, and find your individual expression. No two classes are the same.

Any level of fitness, agility and ages are invited to participate. All are welcome and no prior dance training or ability is required.

Please note -- for the virtual 5Rhythms class, you don't have to connect via video--you can choose to call in or join by audio only and listen to the class through a headset. Some dancers enjoy going for a walk outdoors while they move to the music.
