5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation that invites us to return to our true selves through instinctual, intuitive dance. Guided by the map of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness, the practice opens a portal into embodied presence, emotional honesty, and creative expression. There are no steps to follow and no performance to give—only a ritualized space to offer the body’s prayer and witness the mystery of being alive as it unfolds, moment by moment, breath by breath.
This practice is an elixir for the body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit. People often leave the dance feeling cleansed and resourced, reconnected to their bodily wisdom and a deeper sense of awareness. To dance this way is to practice loving oneself and to remember our innate wholeness.
5Rhythms® is for every body. If you’ve never had any dance training before, hooray—that’s often a gift. Come with curiosity and a willingness to be surprised by your own magic and mystery.

Teacher Bio: Qibei is a 5Rhythms® teacher, holistic healer, and Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) - though boxes like these never quite hold her. She moves between worlds: the clinical and the mystical, the tender and the fierce, the silent knowing of the bones and the unspeakable beauty of Spirit cracking open. Qibei has spent her life listening, deeply, to what aches, what awakens, and what wants to come alive. Dance, for her, is not performance. It’s prayer, medicine, and creative laboratory. Her work invites people out of numbness and into their own raw aliveness: the place where everything dances, where the wild heart remembers itself. She believes embodied presence is what makes life juicy and magical. The sacred art of coming home to ourselves, through breath, movement, and the primordial intelligence pulsing through our veins. In her movement classes, Qibei creates a trauma-sensitive, inclusive place for all bodies, inviting the dynamic emergence of real human and beyond-human interplay. More info at www.Qibei.be.
