Foundation

Put Your Mind in your Feet and Your Body in the beat”
– Gabrielle Roth

“Think of the magic of the foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It’s a miracle and the dance is a celebration of that miracle.”
– Martha Graham

During this 5Rhythms event we shall explore proprioception, sensations and balance as we establish a new relationship to gravity – the feeling of having our feet under us. We’ll also experience the liberating energy of conscious breathing. Together and alone, while moving and dancing, we’ll discover our foundation for playful presence in the moment and create a new story about being creative and at home in our bodies.

The body shapes your home from your first breath and your first encounters with gravity. From my observation many of us exist solely in the mind, obsessed with thoughts and figuring “it” out.

By giving our attention to the foundation we awaken and balance the intelligence in the heart and the “guts” to increase our movement language and our creativity as a whole being. By noticing and being aware of our body sensations to outer stress we can then liberate the holding and increase our energy.

We balance ourselves over our magic feet. In relationship to gravity our feet provide us with the only source of contact with ground while walking. We’ll investigate our full body’s relationship to our feet. Using the 5Rhythms as a guide to multiple ways of expressing ourselves to the beat, we’ll awaken deep curiosity of the life force flow of energy. Alignment, balance, planes of movement and the core will be investigated in a fun playful environment.

No previous experience is required in order to participate.
This workshop counts towards 5Rhythms Teacher Training Waves prerequisites.

About Erik Iversen
“I’ve been a 5Rhythms teacher and a practitioner of Heller work Structural Integration for over 30 years. I’m very fortunate to have co-founded the very first 5Rhythms Teacher’s Training in 1988, and I’m teaching at the most recent Teacher’s Training in May 2019. Through all these years I’ve continued to be committed to playfully awakening the body-mind connection.
My teaching is essentially an invitation and an expression of self-love through dancing, feeling and being.
In 2015, I graduated from the 2-year Transformational Leadership Program at the Hendricks Institute Leadership, and have incorporated the tools and wisdom of those practices into my teaching.”
