The Total Rhythm Philosophy
RHYTHM : The Untapped Force in Fitness
Virtually all cultures have a history of rhythm, drums
and movement. Our lives overflow with rhythm: Think of our heartbeats and pulse, the changing of the seasons, day into
night...we even dream in regular cycles.
Everyone has Rhythm, there are NO EXCEPTIONS to this. None. Zero. Zip. Being "in rhythm" allows us to flow
through life instead of struggling against it. Yet few people are able to tap into the incredible
power of their natural rhythm. Until now!

"I thought I had no rhythm. The Total Rhythm classes got me moving, playing drums and keeping a beat within 15 minutes! I DO have rhythm, and it
feels INCREDIBLE!" |
|
Total Rhythm has developed a unique Fitness Class which delivers an incredible whole-body workout by tapping into the power of our natural rhythm. AND it's a lot of fun...
Total Rhythm is a WORKOUT!
Total Rhythm's fitness program gets students moving,
grooving, stretching, dancing and literally hollering
to the beat! By the end of a Total Rhythm session,
students are sweating, smiling and ENERGIZED!
"I got so into the drums and the rhythm I totally forgot I was getting a great workout."
Class Description
The Total Rhythm fitness program uses tall, standing
drums, combinations of dance and fitness moves,
stretching, chanting and clapping all designed to
deliver one thing: A dynamic body and soul workout
which reconnects students with their natural rhythm.
The 60-minute Total Rhythm Fitness class:
- 5 minutes - clapping rhythms and cardio warmup
- 10 minutes - full-body stretching (no drums)
- 35 minutes - Total Rhythm workout sequences with
drums
- 10 minutes - "Round Rhythm" with drums and cool down

Total Rhythm Gets Students "IN THE FLOW"
Champion Athletes routinely talk about being "in the
flow" or "in The Zone". Great sports teams operate best when "in rhythm". Rhythm is the oldest and most natural means to enhance physical performance.
Total Rhythm classes compliment all other fitness
routines: lifting, cycling, swimming, yoga, aerobics...all of which are based, implicitly, on rhythm.
Total Rhythm's fitness classes have virtually no learning curve and get students "in the flow" their first session. Total Rhythm offers Beginning, Advanced and Expert Level classes.
