Elena is a trained Alexander Technique teacher with a deep interest in conscious dance and embodiment. Her journey began in 2008 on a 5Rhythms dance floor, sparking a lifelong exploration of movement.

She studied closely with her mentor, Adam Barley, as part of a Mentoring Circle dedicated to the art of holding space and teaching movement. She also completed a year-long dance apprenticeship led by Adam, titled “Lifepaths". Elena is forever grateful for the profound openness, authenticity, and connections she has found through the Dance. Currently she is holding space for movement in her home town, Nicosia.

I love freedom and feeling free in my body when I dance, is soul soothing. I felt like that at my first movement workshop over a decade ago and has been hooked ever since.

Being a student of ZeroOne at Adams Lifepath- apprenticeship has revealed hidden landscapes of my heart and parts of myself long repressed but not lost forever. Adams teachings has expanded my perception of dance; how to move and get out of my own selfpity and into something more creative and lively where ever I am, even in my own living room. Through the last 5 five years Adams guidance has brought me to experience the vast spectrum of the sweet blessings that dancing brings me. From short 5 minutes spontanous movement to feel more energised to the power of dancing steadily with a group a whole year; where a the end I entered ever deeper within my body to depths where forgiveness was possible and a deeper sense of connection to people awaited me. I am always in search of sacred spaces and dancing is a space where I feel something sacred and magical - created by everyone moving with me. So now I am delighted and passionate to offer something back to Adam and you all by offering music here.

5Rhythms® Certified Teacher I am passionate about guiding others through movement as a path to self-discovery and self-healing. My journey began in 2013 in California when I experienced 5Rhythms for the first time. As the teacher spoke about Gabrielle Roth’s message—"If you have a body, you are a dancer"—I was deeply moved to tears. At that moment, I knew I wanted to share this practice to the world. This realisation led me to eight years of devotion and intensive training, culminating in my certification in December 2021. Since 2015, I have contributed to the growth of the 5Rhythms dance community in Geneva, Switzerland, co-creating events, bringing in teachers, and leading sessions as a Space Holder. I love creating transformative spaces where we can reconnect with the many colours of our soul, freeing ourselves—step by step—from the judgments and limitations we have unconsciously accepted. I believe we are here to reunite with ourselves and the Great Mystery through movement, breath, and the expression of who we truly are.

As a person, a dancer, and a facilitator, I like to dive deep into the exploration of embodiment practice. I was very honored to be a part of Adam's Barley Mentoring Circle and also part of the LifePaths program, which have been, so far, the most important influences on how I approach the art of holding space for the movement.

My name is Sandro Jonas, and I work with Movement and the Sacred Masculine. My approach is inspired by diverse movement and dance practices, including ZeroOne, 5Rhythms, Dance Movement Therapy, Gaga, Contact Improvisation, and Ecstatic Dance.

In my sessions, I guide participants in exploring sensations, inner landscapes, and the living connection between ourselves and our surroundings. My background includes being part of Adam Barley’s mentoring circle—the founder of the ZeroOne method—as well as training in Dance and Movement Psychotherapy, Eco-Psychosomatics, and Therapeutic Dance.

For almost three decades Conscious Dance has been my practice and ritual, and for more than 10 years I have been facilitating dance floors in Copenhagen & Scandinavia. My passion is creating spaces for authentic and creative expression. And, by “walking the talk” in my own practice, I aim to inspire others. Adam has been a dear friend and great inspiration for more than 15 years. And, for the last couple of years, he has also been my mentor. It's an honor to join here, to gather, dance and connect and to support Adam on his healing journey.

As a dancer and 5 Rhythms wave & heartbeat certified teacher, I trust the wisdom and medicine of organic spontaneous instinctive movements. Adam has been a mentor, a colleague and a dear friend all along my dancing journey. I invite you to dance together and accompany him in his healing journey - close to your soul - in innocence – spontaneity – fluidity - and vitality.

One step at a time… can you hear the music?

I’ve been dancing for the past 19 years and was initially trained by Vinn Marti, founder of Soul Motion. I’ve taken workshops and classes with 5Rhythms and Soul Motion teachers at The Esalen Institute in Big Sur where I lived on and off, California, Santa Fe, Austria and Poland, as well as Movement Medicine and Zero One in Europe. At the moment I live in a Zen Center in California. For nearly 20 years I’ve practiced Ayurvedic massage and am an Ayurvedic chef.

I’ve been immersed in 5Rhythms since 1999 and teaching since 2008. Movement is my first language—it’s how I help people drop into their bodies, move through what’s stuck, and find their way back to themselves. As a 5Rhythms teacher, DJ, and occupational therapist based in Canada, I blend structure with flow, science with artistry, always exploring what moves us.

Adam Barley has been a fierce and dear friend since the early 2000s and a profound influence on my path. I’m honored to offer an hour of movement and music in this space—for Adam, for all of us, for the power of moving together.

Monika Ananda fell in love with conscious dance through the 5 R´s in 2011, and found another big love in the beauty of different practices at One Dance Tribe, being part of the team for a few years: this is, where she also met Adam and later MC Gala.  Since 2017 Monika Ananda teaches the practice of Soul Motion in Germany. She is a yes to new ideas while asking the questions opening corridors of new perspectives. Body and nature are her source of inspiration: as touch, movement, song and creativity. She is a weaver and grateful to be part of this supportive community for Adam.
