Dance towards authenticity
March 20-23, 2025
MAITREA, Prague 1, Thu-Sun: 10:00-17:00
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Erik Iversen back under our roof. World renowned 5Rhythms® teacher, experienced bodyworker and founder of Somatomy™ - a deep body wisdom practice.
Imagine a time and space where you can let go of the weight of ideas and expectations, where every movement brings you closer to your true self. A unique workshop that combines the rhythmic wisdom of 5Rhythms® with the deep physical wisdom of Somatomy.
Welcome to the workshop AUTHENTIC BODY: Soften your Armor - Uncover the Essence!
Discover your uniqueness
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often lose touch with our innermost self.
This workshop is an invitation to reconnect with the wisdom of our body through conscious movement. We will free ourselves from the tension of old movement patterns and discover the living essence that makes us unique.
The workshop will be interpreted from English into Czech.
Somatomy Refresh - 5Rhythms® transformational workshop for Somatomy graduates and experienced dancers!
Erik Iversen
Erik's journey to 5Rhythms® began with a near-death experience at age 28, followed by the joy of first-time fatherhood. These pivotal moments opened his eyes to the profound wisdom of the body and led him away from professional ice hockey and into the healing world of movement.
As co-founder of the first 5Rhythms teacher training and a certified Hellerwork Structural Integration practitioner, Erik brings over forty years of experience in guiding others to listen to their bodies and move with love and curiosity.
Are you ready to lay down your own armor and step into your true essence?
