GRATITUDE – a 5Rhythmen-Extended-Wave mit Misa Trizuljakova
“Gratitude unlocks the path to a fulfilling life. It transforms what we have into something that is enough—and even more.” — Melody Beattie
In this session, we’ll explore the power of gratitude—how the feeling of gratitude shifts our focus from problems and shortcomings to the things that enrich our lives, things we have plenty of around us but often fail to see through the dark glasses of our struggles. We’ll learn to observe them through the wisdom of our bodies, through movement and dance, and we’ll also learn about how neuroscience views gratitude today.
For me personally, gratitude is a great help during challenging times; it gives me a broader perspective on the world and on my own stories. I’m very happy that we now have an interesting and special guest here in Slovakia—Katka Tabi, a Slovak woman who lives and works in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia and, among other things, researches what happens in our brains and to our health during various non-pharmacological interventions and techniques.
I can’t wait. How about you?
The 5Rhythms® musical journey will be designed and led by Miša Trizuljaková, an artist, storyteller, and certified 5Rhythms® teacher.
With Katarina Tabi, we’ll explore gratitude through the lens of neuroscience. She’ll engagingly highlight selected fascinating facts from the world of science and offer practical tips on how to apply gratitude in our daily lives and in dance. Afterward, we’ll have a hands-on experience of practicing gratitude through dance.
What is 5Rhythms®?
5Rhythms® is a simple form of meditation through movement and dance that anyone can practice, regardless of age, experience, or physical ability.
There’s no need to follow any specific steps, learn choreography, or worry that you’re doing it wrong. The only requirements are a body that keeps breathing, a heart that keeps beating, and a mind that remains curious.
Miša Trizuljaková fell in love with the 5Rhythms® as an adult. In 2018, she became a certified spaceholder, and in 2024, she completed her training as a 5Rhythms teacher under the guidance of Jonathan Horan. For years, she has tirelessly promoted this form of movement meditation—which she fell in love with—in Slovakia, and she also teaches abroad (Austria, Poland, UK).
She is a member of the International 5Rhythms Teachers Association (5RTA) and the International Conscious Movement Teachers Association (ICMTA).
Katarina Tabi, PhD, is a neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. When she’s not writing scientific articles, she’s dancing. She has been dancing the 5Rhythms for over 11 years under the guidance of experienced teachers on the West Coast of North America, where there is a strong 5Rhythms community.
She collaborates on international scientific projects and holds numerous certifications in the fields of mindfulness and health. With playfulness and passion, she explores the world and seeks connections between science, mindful movement, and how our minds work.

ÜBER MISA:
I’m a rebel and a seeker from the hippie generation. A multifaceted artist /textile, paper, installation, fine art clothing, theatrical costumes/, storyteller, Reiki master.
In 2016, at a ripe old age, I discovered 5Rhythms. This dynamic movement meditation instantly captivated me, and I began looking for all possible and impossible ways to bring this newfound wonder to the country where I live. 5Rhythms is for me a relaxation, a meditation and a journey. This journey connects my stories that make sense.
I became an accredited 5Rhythms spaceholder in 2018. From this time I offer 5Rhythms classes, so people have a chance to try and taste how the 5Rhythms path is walked. In 2024 I have finished 5Rhythms teacher training. I love to offer this practice, where you can find freedom of movement, release and also… something extra. Gabrielle Roth, founder of 5Rhythms, says that everyone will find as much here as they sink deeply into 5Rhythms. So, come, I invite you to try this adventure. We will dance through our pains and joys, hopes and desires together. In a dance where nothing is right or wrong. In a dance where we are just us, learning to listen to the wisdom of our bodies.
