5 Rhythms Dance with Bernadette Ryder

5 Rhythms Dance with Bernadette Ryder

The 5 Rhythms®

5 Rhythms in Bristol, the South West,
& South Wales, UK

Classes

Weekly classes are a doorway into the 5 Rhythms, its essential structure and character. They are also a place of practice to embody and ground the deeper work. A remarkable aspect of the Rhythms is that, with very diverse experience and intentions, we can all dance together and all find what we need.

'Rhythm Circle'
ongoing closed group

Gathers weekly in Bristol, to connect and support one another to drop deeper in the dance. This is where we expand the experience, comprehension and embodiment of the profound 5 Rhythms map.

Workshops

Workshops take the practice to another level. They are uninterrupted time – often several days, often in a residential setting. The focus allows you to shift and expand the energy and ‘vocabulary’ of your dance. The places this practice takes you are unpredictable and often extraordinary.

      About Bernadette & In-Rhythm

      Bernadette Ryder - 5 Rhythms Teacher

      Bernadette Ryder
      5 Rhythms Teacher

      Bernadette has been teaching the 5 Rhythms dance practice since 1998, and immersed in it for years before that. Her approach to the work has been influenced by a number of other profound spiritual practices: principally Isha Yoga, Movement Medicine, Sky Dancing Tantra, Sacred Trust Shamanism and the teachings of Abraham Hicks. She also practices yoga, meditation and Kriya breathwork, which she integrates beautifully into her classes, workshops and training programmes.
