Lina was one of the first in bringing 5Rhythms® creative dynamic practise to the region in 2010, after spending over two decades as an entrepreneur in the corporate world. Her passion for the work has led her to Waves® level teacher certification by 2014. Weaving teaching into her life whilst running her social innovation and empathy building initiative via The Sameness project, Lina strives to impact positive social change by way of genuine community building and by contributing to higher levels of consciousness and social awareness.

“The 5Rhythms map is my metaphor and practise for everyday sacred living. It reclaims my humanity in meeting each moment with embodied presence. It frees my soul to awaken into limitless potential in alignment with body, heart and mind, all carried by spirit in its cosmic dance of mysterious unfolding. And I wish for all to dwell in this energy through my offerings. My favourite quote from my teacher Gabrielle Roth has always been: Do you have the discipline to be a free spirit”
Created by Gabrielle Roth over 60 years ago and practised by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practise rooted in the principle that “if you put your body into motion, the psyche will heal itself”. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. Wherever the 5Rhythms® are practised, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego's hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free and alive.

The five rhythms are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. They come together to create the Wave®, a movement meditation practice. The Wave® allows us to get in touch with our bodies and innermost feelings, and in the process catalyzes deep healing in the mind, body, heart and soul and brings out their creative potential. Rather than having steps to follow, each rhythm is a different energy field in which you find your own expression and choreography, thereby stretching your imagination as well as your body’s range of articulations. Each rhythm is a teacher and you can expect to meet different and sometimes unknown aspects of yourself as your dance unfolds naturally.
