Over 35 years ago, a young teacher at the Esalen Institute began experimenting with an ancient body-based spiritual practice all but forgotten in our time: ecstatic dance. Today that teacher, Gabrielle Roth, is acclaimed worldwide for her pioneering work with The Wave, a sequence of improvised movements to five rhythm patterns that the New York Post has called a 'map for the entire creative process.'
On Gabrielle Roth Ecstatic Dance Collection, viewers join Gabrielle for three complete dance workouts, each with its own special benefits:
# The Wave – The original classic on video introduces Gabrielle Roth's revolutionary system of moving meditation. Teaches how five core rhythms can teach, catalyze, and heal our entire being.
# The Inner Wave – A meditative trance dance journey to the stillpoint within. For calming the mind and body, and creating peace in our lives.
# The Power Wave – Super high-velocity dance workout puts the psyche in motion and helps trigger spontaneous states of creative, intuitive power.
As one of the most charismatic, passionate and persuasive voices in contemporary spirituality, Gabrielle Roth has taught her philosophy, practice and perspective of life as a rhythmic and creative experience in artistic, educational and healing contexts around the world through cathartic movement and ritual-theater workshops and performances. Her work has taken thousands of people on a journey from physical and emotional inertia to the freedom of ecstasy, from the tyranny of the chattering ego-mind to the blessed emptiness of stillness. The Wave is a moving meditation developed by Gabrielle Roth based on the five universal rhythms that flow through our lives: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness.
