5Rhythms® is a holistic movement meditation practice. It is a path to presence, wholeness, and authentic being. The Wave forms the foundation of this practice. It is comprised of five different rhythms, which are a roadmap into exploring our creativity and physical movement. No previous experience necessary. 5Rhythms is suitable for everyone and bodies of all ages, shapes, and sizes.

ABOUT THE TEACHER:

Karoliina Valontaival holds space with clarity, presence, sensitivity, and heartfulness. She creates a safe and accessible space that welcomes you as you are. You can either register in advance and secure your spot on the dance floor – or drop in and sign up at the door. Beginners and new dancers are always welcome!

You are welcome as you are. All genders, sexual orientations, ages, body shapes and sizes, and levels of physical ability are welcome. It is always possible to follow your own body and needs, and modify your dance accordingly.
