While the 5Rhythms is most often practiced with a group, and experienced as a movement practice, it is also a spiritual path. This means that there are many ways to walk on this path, from reading one of Gabrielle Roth's books, to dancing a wave by yourself in your bedroom, to trying on the experience of dancing without any music, or these days - exploring one of the many different 5Rhythms classes being offered via Zoom. Below are some links to 5Rhythms teachers and classes in the immediate area (Canadian Pacific Northwest), followed by some suggested reading material.
