RHONDDA - Life moves. In all that Rhondda holds and believes, this is the essence. Dancing with all of life’s offerings; the joys, the hardships, the sorrows and the triumphs, the physical abilities and the different abilities, we dance with what is. As a Certified and Accredited 5Rhythms® Teacher, as well as being Certified in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, her trauma-informed somatic embodiment focuses on listening ‘in’ to the body and gently, kindly, learning to trust its wisdom to be able to respond to what we hear. Rhondda has been moving with her own major health and loss crises in recent years, which have taken her away from teaching, and organizing classes and workshops … a deep letting go and grieving process. But her heart, body, spirit, mind and soul have never been away from the practice, and her experiences have been invaluable teachers.
Dedicated to supporting those in need, her work has included 5Rhythms® Reach Out (not-for-profit). She initiated our Light Up the Night Benefit Dance in 2015 to bring community together to collectively support others, and gratefully bows to all the Conscious Dance teachers and dancers who have been essential to creating Light each year.
