5Rhythms Challenge - Week 3 of 3

Last week of our 5Rhythm challenge! I’ve had to take it slowly, due to a pulled calf muscle, but have still enjoyed a bit of dancing and movement, even one leg donning a cold pack. A bit of movement can’t be bad!

But this week we’re continuing with expanding our 5Rhythm practice into standard length dances with the original voice and music of Gabrielle Roth.

Yup, we’re here. We’re dancing to the original voice of Gabrielle Roth.

Warmup (8:05 min)

1 - Flowing (5:46 min)

2 - Staccato (3:46 min)

3 - Chaos (3:44 min)

4 - Lyrical (2:58 min)

5 - Stillness (7: 14 min)

Here is the ca 30 min playlist as a whole (they should play one after the other on standard YouTube settings):

And if you want to cut the videos short and be in control when to click into the next rhythm, here are the videos separately. Feel free to stop at a moment you feel right, and only dance the full length if you feel your body is ready for it.

And the whole playlist with music only, without Gabrielle Roth’s voice (6 videos, totalling ca 30 min)

And that’s it!

Beyond this, one can chose your own music for the 5Rhythms or head to Spotify for Gabrielle Roths music spotify.link/RlwtEBqxvDb

For shorter practices head back to week 1 or 2 to redo the shorter ones, but keep this long post save. The music is just mesmerising.

Hope it brought a little more fun movement into your life’s! Let us know how you found it!

Thank you so much, CBDB , for putting this together, for guiding us through the 5 Rhythms practice! What a gift! Dancing through this playlists felt wonderful and got me out of a funk I'd fallen into this morning - waking up at a way too warm 20°C, the same too warm temp it was last night and my helpless- and hopelessness in reaction to that did that to me... I danced my way out of that - and thus experienced the healing power of this practice. Feeling grateful and whole again 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing all these links 👍😊 I am waiting to find a quiet time so I can try them out (quiet, as in, on my own and no pressing jobs on my to do list! 😬). Looking forward to giving it a go. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again for introducing me to this wonderful way of moving 😀

It feels so cleansing & refreshing to do this practice! Thank you again for putting it together, CBDB !

Btw, I signed up for a retreat in Ireland next year, after attending and very much enjoying the first version of it this year, that includes the 5Rhythms. Actually, reading that convinced me to sign up again... This year, it was a combination of Pilates and exploring the breathtaking beauty of Kerry county. I wasn't sure if I'd sign up again - and then I saw 5 Rhythms would be an addition, so... Here's more info if you're curious: mementobodyworks.com/en/res...
