5Rhythms® Movement Practice

A dynamic movement meditation for self-expression, connection, and embodied awareness.

This offering is currently in development. Group 5Rhythms® experiences will be introduced in due course as a shared space for embodied exploration, connection and integration.

Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced worldwide, 5Rhythms® is both a movement practice and a philosophy of transformation. It is rooted in a simple principle: when the body moves, the psyche follows.

Movement as Medicine

Creativity. Connection. Community.

Through five distinct rhythms — Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness — we explore the full landscape of human experience. Movement becomes both medicine and metaphor, supporting emotional release, creativity, resilience and connection.

Wherever the 5Rhythms® are practiced, a temporary community forms. Together, we move to sweat, to feel, to express and to remember who we are beneath expectation and identity.

“Dancing the 5Rhythms® with Michela has helped me process and release weight I knew I was carrying, and also weight I didn't know I was carrying. Beyond that, I've had countless moments of transcendental, full body, bliss.

Thanks to her kind, wise, insightful, vulnerable guidance, I've learned so much about myself through this incredible practice. These lessons stay with me. The practice stays with me.”

– Lara Matossian

Classes

Open to all levels. No experience necessary.

Each class is a guided journey through the Wave — the full cycle of the five rhythms.

There are no steps to follow and no way to “get it right.”. You move according to how you feel, at your own pace, in a supportive and respectful environment.

Through movement, we cultivate vitality, body awareness and emotional clarity — returning to daily life feeling more present and alive.

“Shed your past, forget the future and fall into the movement feet first.”

– Gabrielle Roth, 5Rhythms® Founder

  • "Michela has a rare ability to hold space with depth and integrity, allowing you to connect fully with your own process and presence, whilst guiding the class with intention and openness. "

    – Sahar Milani (5Rhythms® client)

  • "After just one session, I felt better and more in touch with my mind and body, something I couldn't or struggled to do before. Michela was excellent and patient with me. A very profound experience that I will definitely repeat."

    – Beatrice Forte (PSYCH-K® client)

  • "Michela helped me navigate a challenging medical diagnosis with several PSYCH-K® Balances. Through our work together, I was able to release the anxiety of the diagnosis and find a grounded centered place from which to ask appropriate questions of the doctor and develop a healing plan. Michela was a wonderful guide at a challenging time."

    – Kelly Eide (PSYCH-K® client)

  • "My experience with Michela was outstanding, She was extremely supportive, compassionate, friendly at the same time very professional. I recommend her without hesitation."

    – S. Rak (PSYCH-K® client)

  • "I felt like I was sucked into a vortex, unable to resurface, and I passively accepted what others had decided for me. Today, I've been able to take back control of some aspects of my life, talk about them openly, make the necessary changes, and even say no. This confidence and awareness makes me feel more self-confident and at peace.”

    – Monica Falini (PSYCH-K® client)

The Five Rhythms

Each rhythm offers a different doorway into awareness.

Black and white smoke representing Flowing, the rhythm of grounding, connection and returning to the body

Flowing

Coming Home to the Body
Flowing is the rhythm of grounding and connection. It invites gentle attention and inward listening. For women in the second half of life, Flowing can feel like a return to what is essential — slowing down and trusting the body’s natural intelligence.

Brown cracked ground representing Staccato, the rhythm of clarity, boundaries and intentional expression

Staccato

Clear Expression
Staccato supports clarity, boundaries and emotional honesty.
It often resonates as a reclaiming of voice, moving with intention and expressing what truly matters.

Soft cotton texture representing Chaos, the rhythm of release, surrender and transformation of old patterns

Chaos

Release and Transformation
Chaos is the rhythm of surrender. It allows tension, old patterns and expectation to fall away.
Here, movement becomes cathartic and liberating — a reset for both body and mind.

Sand pattern representing Lyrical, the rhythm of lightness, creativity, play and joyful self-expression

Lyrical

Lightness and Possibility
Lyrical brings imagination, play and creative expansion.
It awakens curiosity and joy, inviting a fresh relationship with movement and self-expression.

Bird perched on a branch at sunset representing Stillness, the rhythm of integration, inner listening and calm presence

Stillness

Integration and Presence
Stillness is the rhythm of completion and inner listening.
It offers space to integrate what has been experienced and to rest in quiet awareness.
