5Rhythms®
Sweat Your Prayers
In this class we experience the movement meditation practice of Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms. Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness are the rhythmic container where our inner dancer is invited to express and be set free.
“The more you dance, the more you sweat. The more you sweat, the more you pray, The more you pray, the closer you come to ecstasy.” ~Gabrielle Roth
5Rhythms Women’s Circle ‘Sister Prayers‘
Take our hands and join our circle of women dedicated to the journey of wild abandon and holy ecstasy~ We dive deep to the realms of intuitive, visceral and instinctual movement to invite and invoke our deepest healing essence as we move our bodies in our shapeshifting beauty, wisdom and power. I look forward to being with you again in all your vulnerability and authenticity.
This class is offered as a 5 month/once monthly session ~ pre-registration is required.
5Rhythms Waves: Soul Surfing
This class is a guided journey to deepen our understanding of the 5Rhythms and to awaken and expand the rhythms in our bodies.
As long as I keep dancing, I can keep inspiring hope, love, and compassion in the people around me.
Laura is a fierce teacher – with a heart that holds deep reservoirs for us all to flow through.
Thank you for your devotion and love of this practice. It is truly an honor and a privilege to learn from you. I am so grateful for your trailblazing, rebellious heart.

5Rhythms Emerging Waves
Emerging Waves is a space held by a 5Rhythms® teacher-in-training. In this class, you are invited to move through the 5Rhythms with simple guidance, exploring body parts, giving space for your personal expression. Music becomes the teacher alongside the trainee, supporting your movement practice through the Waves map of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness.
Rooted in the teachings of Gabrielle Roth, 5Rhythms is practiced by tens of thousands of people around the world. It is a movement meditation, a creative path, and a philosophy grounded in the belief that when we move, we heal. Movement becomes both medicine and metaphor—opening space for personal insight, and embodied presence.
Thank you Laura.
Dancing 5Rhythms and focussing on Chaos is my happy place. Four days of deep dancing in a warm and friendly group, led by Laura in her lovely Lawrence studio was a wonderful treat. The 5R maps always guiding me home through the “disappearing act” . . . where everything dissolves and there is just this big unfathomable timeless mystery. Words fail me . . but I’d love to do it all over again! Soon!

Yoga~Asana
As a studio we are very aware of the many yoga lineages that have suffered from sexual misconduct and abuse. Although our teachers have diverse training backgrounds, Be Moved and all of its teachers implement our strong studio policy to uphold the highest level of ethical integrity in our teachings and in our relationships with our students. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about the classes and practices you find at Be Moved concerning lineage, teachings and ethical integrity.
Be Flow Yoga
Deeping the practice of yoga asana (postures) and Pranayama (breathwork) can help us begin to deepen our embodiment and relation to the yogic path toward a steady, clear mind. This class will support students who would like to continue their inquiry of the physical practice while honoring the vast philosophy and culture that surrounds yoga. Class will focus on alignment to suit the body for each posture, explore more yoga postures, develop a breathing practice and steady both body and mind in preparation of meditation.
Be Restored Yoga
This restorative yoga class offers a gentle, deeply relaxing practice focused on stillness and rejuvenation. Using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, students are guided into supportive poses held for extended periods. The emphasis is on passive stretching, mindful breathing, and releasing physical and mental tension.Restorative yoga helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system-the branch responsible for rest, repair, and relaxation-counteracting the stress-induced fight-or-flight response. This activation supports lowering heart rate and blood pressure, reducing anxiety, and promoting recovery on both physical and emotional levels. It also gently nourishes the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs, promoting flexibility and reducing stiffness. By easing muscular tension and improving joint mobility, restorative yoga supports overall musculoskeletal health and alignment.Suitable for all, the class encourages rest, recovery, and nervous system regulation. It’s an ideal complement to more active practices or busy lifestyles.
Come without expectations, allow the journey to unfold and you may leave feeling calm, centered, and refreshed.
Yoga 101
Learn the foundations of a full yoga practice. Whether this is your first time or 100th time on a mat, this class will teach you not only the practice of yoga asana (postural yoga) but the philosophy and rich cultural practice that has supported people for thousands of years. Through the lense of trauma informed and functional accessible instruction you will learn more about your relationship to your body through movement, Pranayama (movement of energy in and around you), inquiry and meditation.
Community Yoga
FREE/love offering to all the community. This class is an open, all levels class taught by the teachers at Be Moved and other teachers in our community. Come as a beginner or as an advanced yogi to share in our love for yoga!.
Be Yin and Yang
Life is a balance of opposites and so in this class we will build some quick internal heat and strength (yang) as well as breathe slowly into long restorative poses (yin) to foster an inner balance so we can take our mind and body harmony into the Yin and Yang of our daily lives. This class is accessible for all levels of yogic practitioners. We will start off with a gentle warm up then flow into an invigorating vinyasa practice (such as sun salutations) to awaken some internal heat using our strong ujjayi breath. After we accelerate our heart rates we will slow our breaths and movements down with some long held yin/restorative asanas (reclined twist, pigeon pose, thread the needle) using props before we settle our stretched and relaxed bodies for a guided mediation before savasana.
Not enough thanks can be expressed with all of the teachers that I have encountered at Be Moved.
Thanks also to you, Laura Martin-Eagle, for your continued support of Community Yoga, as well as the wonderful instructors that walk through your doors at Be Moved.

Meditation/Dances of Universal Peace/Drumming
Dances of Universal Peace
Join Clark and Malika last Sundays of the month for Dances of Universal Peace. We hold hands and dance in a circle to live music. No dancing or singing experience needed. The dances are simple and everything is taught in the moment. For more info please email muffywillow@gmail.com
Community Drum Circle
In the community drum circle class, we explore the sounds of hand drum percussion and create improvised music together. Each class offers a basic introduction to the percussion instruments used and begins with simple drumming rhythms.
Participation in group drumming has been shown to reduce stress, improve focus and mood, and boost the immune system. Drumming is a beautiful way to open your creativity and experience community music-making in a light-hearted, playful, and open environment.
No prior experience is necessary to participate, and drums are provided. You are also welcome to bring your own drum or percussion instruments. Join us for an uplifting and enjoyable community drum experience.

TRE GROUP SHAKE
Trauma/Tension Release Exercises, commonly known as TRE, is a practice created by David Berceli, Ph.D. “TRE is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma.” (Berceli). By utilizing these low impact movements along with self-regulation techniques, individuals can activate a safe natural reflex mechanism of shaking, often called a neurogenic tremor. The provider will guide you through the exercises while maintaining a safe and controlled environment allowing you to tremor or shake out existing muscular tension.
Practitioners are invited to a monthly group shake. We will gather together to go through Dr. Berceli’s seven exercise sequence, explore our body’s natural tremor, and learn this great self-help tool to better manage daily stress and trauma. TRE group shake will be held once a month.
TRE is for all and we will accommodate and make it accessible as much as possible.
3:00pm-4:30pm/$25 per class. PLEASE REGISTER 24 HOURS BEFORE CLASS START.
