Metamorphosis

About the Course

Our body is a living map of all the experiences we’ve ever had. Throughout life, it so happens that in order to survive and “fit in” we often times limit our full expression by contracting and suppressing the flow of energy.

We all remember times when we were told to stop talking, to behave, to not cry when we were sad, to get a hold of ourselves when we were scared, and times when our words got stuck in our throats for the fear of being misunderstood, and so on. Over time these contractions become habitual and interfere with the natural flow of energy in our bodies and energetic fields, we turn into masterful suppressors, disconnect from our feelings altogether, or are so dysregulated that even a small trigger pushes us over the edge.

In this course we will be weaving breath and movement together in order to open up the space in the body, release those contractions and restore the natural flow of energy. This in turn awakens joy, aliveness, passion for life, and resilience that is rooted in self-love and we are able to live and create with calm and ease.

Through the 5Rhythms® map, you will practice the art of listening through the body.

You will explore, discover and uncover hidden parts of yourself in your flesh and bones, reignite your body’s wisdom, deepen your emotional intelligence, and alchemize duality in the body, heart, and mind. Metamorphose into a new form and shape, release the old conditionings by embracing the shadow and come back to your true essence with more clarity and curiosity.

Transforming your suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action.

Healing happens through the connection and alignment of the body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit.

Breath is a force that inspires us, enlivens us, and embodies us in this human form. Through the practice of Breath-Work, you will learn how to listen to your breath and be guided by it, how to deepen the connection with all of the layers of your being and discover the vastness of who you are, how to infuse your breath with whatever quality you desire to invite more of, how to regulate your nervous system, increase energy levels, relax deeper, sleep better, sharpen focus and much more. You will go into practices that encourage the deep release of stored-up experiences that are no longer serving you positively and go through a powerful cleansing process to bring more freedom to your breath.

Our intention for this course is that you may experience the power and potential that breath and movement hold. And start developing an ever-deepening connection with them.

About Tata Leban

My dance lineage derives from my artistic parents; my mother was a dance teacher for 35 years and my father is a musician. Growing up In an artistic family made me fall in love with music, dance, and art from a very young age. I began dancing when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since. I graduated with a BFA from The Academy of Fine arts and moved to New York when I was 20 years old. A few months after my Mother passed away.

In 2013, in the midst of a difficult time in my life, I got introduced to the practice by a dear friend. It has changed my life completely. Put me on a full-on transformational journey.

Gabrielle has inspired me greatly and her 5Rhythms practice soon became my home. I found much healing and discovered my truth and purpose, which was hidden in my bones, in my blood, and in my soul.

Dance shaped me from the beginning of my existence. 5R has brought me back to my roots and guided me to rediscover myself fully, by remembering who I am and what my purpose is.

I left the corporate fashion world in 2016 and embarked on the 5Rhythms dancing path. (teacher training) graduated in 2018. And I have been teaching since after.

The 5Rhythms practice and the 5R community have held me for over 10 years of my life in every difficult time. This dance is powerful medicine, and I carry this lineage with full integrity, with my heart, and in full embodiment. It is truly my soul calling to share this medicine with others and my hope is that I can make an impact and pay it forward.

Darkness becomes a sacred place when we allow ourselves to dance within it, diving for light!

About Nino Gurgenidze

12 years ago, as I was pursuing my dream of studying acting in New York City, I found myself burned out, anxious, and deeply depressed.

On my teacher’s suggestion, I decided to take up the practice of meditation but found it extremely difficult to sit still even for 10 minutes.

I decided to start practicing yoga in order to find more ease and comfort during sitting. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the practice. I was feeling much better, though nothing had changed in my outside circumstances, so I stuck with it. As I practiced more, meditating became easier and more pleasurable.

I noticed that as my mind and senses calmed down I started experiencing much subtler energetics at play. I desired to understand myself and my relationship with the world at a deeper level. I wanted to know The Truth (even though I didn’t even understand what I meant by The Truth). Since then my curiosity has led me down the path of learning from plant medicines, psychedelics, and silent meditation retreats.

In 2019, I traveled to Thailand to deepen my yoga practice and took a 200-hour yoga teacher training course. There a learned about darkroom meditation and as soon as I returned home, I found a place in Mexico and went into the darkness for seven days.

I will never forget the moment when my awareness expanded out of my body and encompassed everything, as a fountain of love and gratitude poured into my heart space.

After leaving the darkness, I felt the most alive I have ever felt, I was able to have a direct experience of the world around me without any thoughts acting as mediators, but the most magical thing that happened was that I acquired a totally new and different sense of my breath.

I absolutely fell in love with it. I could feel how with every inhale the energy was pouring into my body, infusing every cell with joyful aliveness. I decided to dive deeper into the exploration of breath and in a couple of years found myself once again in Mexico studying Breath Mastery with Dan Brulé author of “Just Breathe.”

It is my absolute passion to share my love of breath, as I think it is the single most powerful tool that we have for transformation and awakening.
