Resistance in 5Rhythms: Resistance is a Dance

How do you move when you feel stuck?

Resistance as a Physical Language

In the 5Rhythms practice we learn to move with all of human experience as a physical language. Even when we feel resistance and stuck, unable to move, this is a study of energy. When energy feels heavy, inert, in our psyche we are holding on — resisting change, fears, emotions stirring.

Where Freedom Lies

The freedom lies when we embody and give shape to the struggle. Mental struggle drops into the physical body. We learn to transform our reality into movement, a dance.

Trusting the Instinctive Response

When we trust the instinctive response, when we can drop more deeply into our dance and away from the overthinking mind, we allow our humanity to be given a fresh language that liberates.
