Ronny Temple
Offerings: 5Rhythms
Classes
Cost $14 / $12 Elders and Full Time Students
5Rhythms is a physical and spiritual dance practice which promotes a fullness of life and freedom in movement. At the heart of this comprehensive body of work is the physical experience of your body in motion. 5Rhythms classes and workshops typically include moving meditation sessions in which students dance the five rhythms of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. The rhythms together form the wave. While dancing the wave we practice allowing our bodies to move freely as we explore the circular and grounding rhythm of flowing, the shapes of staccato and the release in chaos. We discover curiosity and freedom in lyrical and reverence in the spirit of stillness.
About Ronny:
Ronny is a certified 5Rhythms Teacher with a wide breadth of experience in movement meditation and leadership. He has studied and practiced meditation, in many different forms, with Krishnamurti, whom he met in the early eighties, and with Osho Rajneesh with whom he practiced meditations such as Vipassana, Sufi Whirling, and Kundalini for nearly two decades in India as well as the U.S. Ronny’s great love and focus since 2002 is Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms movement meditation which he offers at Fusion via workshops and weekly classes.
