5 Rhythms Experience & Cosmology
Lina Nahhas
Lina Nahhas
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.

I feel that the training offered a very genuine experience, no gimmicks, a complete focus on exploring yoga at its fullest. This training enabled me to gain a much deeper understanding of the philosophy and history of yoga, how to apply that to my life, and how to embed it within the classes I share as a teacher.

And here I am closing 20 years with Manish Pole, my Yoga teacher, coach, and a friend which makes my yoga journey unique, enriching and has shaped me to be what I am today. Another deeper aspect of his teaching style is the ability to connect YOGA philosophy with the practice which provides context and reasoning to why we are doing what we are doing.

My journey with the Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training began from a deep inner necessity, a longing to find more meaning in life, and a genuine thirst for clarity and inner peace. The online videos offer great flexibility, allowing you to move at your own pace. For me, this meant taking time for reflection and meditation, integrating the teachings rather than simply consuming information.

As a student of the M&YTT programme with Manish, and as someone who's known and learned from Manish over the years, I'm grateful and deeply appreciative not just for the depth of knowledge presented through the course; but also the spirit of enquiry and seeking that is sparked and fostered.
