ERIK IVERSEN -  Montreal, Canada

I’ve been a 5Rhythms teacher, a reflexologist and a practitioner of Hellerwork Structural Integration for close to 30 years. I’ve observed thousands of bodies, both in dancing and through the movement patterns I see in my bodywork practice. From this platform of knowledge, I introduce the building blocks of movement through developmental explorations, core anatomy and structural integration. Once we have a whole sense of our bodies I facilitate the pathway to enjoyable and expressive embodiment through sensorial discovery, creativity and play.I am fortunate to have co-founded the very first 5Rhythms Teacher’s Training in 1988, and just taught at the most recent Teacher Trainings last years  Through this span of years, I’ve continued to be committed to playfully awakening the body-mind connection. My teaching is essentially an invitation and an expression of self–love through dancing, feeling and being. On the edge of my learning is the 2 year Hendricks Leadership and Transformation course I’m following.

In June of this year, I graduated from the two-year Intensive Transformational and Leadership training at the Hendricks Institute in California. This facilitator certification and the coaching skills I’ve learned are now integrated into my teaching and one-on-one work with clients.
