Tammy Burstein

"I've made my living as a dancer, a lighting designer, a travel agent, a librarian, and a personal organizer. I make my life dancing the 5Rhythms®."

Tammy has taught nationally and internationally, including as part of the Core Faculty at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. She has taught (and continues to teach) in cities all over the world, including Amsterdam, Antwerp, Atlanta, Bogota, Chicago, Miami, and Paris. A member of the staff of the Moving Center School New York, she also teaches weekly classes in New York City.

Tammy has been teaching Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms® movement meditation practice since 2001, studying the 5Rhythms® since 1997, and living them since before she knew they existed. Also certified to teach Heartbeat, the 5Rhythms® map through the embodied emotions, she teaches regular weekly classes in New York City, as well as workshops globally.

Introduced to the 5Rhythms® by her husband who said "I'm going to take you to a class. You're going to love it." Attending a weekly class soon turned into a passion to study the many maps of the 5Rhythms® with Gabrielle Roth and many other accredited 5Rhythms® teachers from around the world. Little had he known how deeply she would fall in love with the 5Rhythms® practice!

In this practice Tammy found a thread that connected her personal experience as a dancer, her former career in the professional theatre, and her personal meditation practice. Her call to teach was insistent and life-changing.
