5Rhythms™ Mini-Intensive Series
with Visudha de los Santos – certified 5Rhythms teacher
Cost: $60.00 each mini-intensive, or $275.00 for the 5-part series
Visudha will lead an in-depth investigation of each of the rhythms of Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms™ movement practice. Drawing upon shamanic and Sufi sacred traditions, the rhythms are a powerful and deceptively simple way to transform ourselves into the fullest embodiment and manifestation of our essential selves. We do this through the practice of cultivating greater awareness by listening to, and moving our bodies, ultimately accessing the infinite source of wisdom within. In each of the five sessions, we will deepen our practice by exploring the ‘Wave’ — in which our journey will traverse through the rhythms of flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness– while focusing intentionally on one rhythm. Each rhythm has the possibility of catalyzing specific states of being.
Being based in the infinite wisdom of our bodies, there are no steps to learn. We remember our natural rhythms through the practice of inviting movement into our physical bodies again and again.
Visudha lives in Taos, New Mexico and teaches around the United States. She is the creator of the blog Move and Be Moved, an international community conversation about movement meditation and spiritual practice.

Announcing to women of Santa Fe, I would like to offer you an opportunity to train with me at two mid-winter dance movement workshops.
My teaching philosophy begins with breath and circular movement patterns. I create a thorough warmup to heighten awareness of mind/body/spirit/heart integration , focusing on initiating movement from the deep central core of torso, undulating through spine and out the limbs. I use visualization and metaphor, often drawn from nature imagery. Rhythm is a consistent element, with recorded music of world indigenous sources ( with enough sign up i may be able to book a live percussionist with professional international indigenous music background)
Location: Railyard Performance Space, 1611 Paseo de Peralta
Dates: Sunday JANUARY 18 and SUNDAY FEBRUARY 22
Time: 10 am -12 noon
Cost: sliding scale donation per workshop – $20 recommended minimum up to $200. Nobody turned away for lack of funds
FEBRUARY 22: ”MOVEMENT OF INSPIRATION AND DEDICATION, PASSION AND COMPASSION” is the Sunday after Valentine’s day . The theme of Love will be explored through gestures of compassion and passion, to use kinetic intelligence and bodily memory to invoke the essential healing and transformative power of love. Goddesses and archetypes from world cultures will be used as inspiration for form and creation of movement phrases.
