Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide,

5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic

movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the 

psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the

metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to

transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action.

Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to

sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to

shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating,

edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that  yearns to be free.

Creativity. Connection. Community

Emerging Waves Classes with Marbella Mondaca 

A 5Rhythms® lightly guided class offered by Marbella  mentored by Kierra Foster Ba and Masayo Benoist

You are invited to move through the 5Rhythms with simple guidance, exploring body parts giving space for your personal expression. Music becomes the teacher alongside the Teacher in Training, supporting your movement practice through the Waves map of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. 

Rooted in the teachings of Gabrielle Roth, 5Rhythms® is practiced by tens of thousands of people around the world. It is a movement meditation, a creative path, and a philosophy grounded in the belief that when we move, we heal. Movement becomes both medicine and metaphor—opening space for personal insight, and embodied presence.

This practice welcomes every Body, every culture, every age, and every level of experience. Wherever the 5Rhythms are danced, a community forms—one that moves together, sweats together, grows together, and supports one another’s freedom and authenticity. Here we meet ourselves and each other with curiosity, kindness, and the courage to be real.
