“Eurythmy, if you have heard of it at all, is more than you realize.
It is certainly different from how it usually appears.”

With no previous training or knowledge required, Sivan Karnieli’s handy workbook presents a range of focused, practical exercises to calm, strengthen, and center. Accessible to all, it gives instructions for daily practice that can effectively counteract stress and burnout, psychological blocks and other symptoms of modern life. Whether you work with these exercises for five minutes or an hour a day, they help harmonize body, soul, and spirit, enabling you to find your true self.

This straightforward guide to the art of eurythmy has a huge amount to offer everyone. Rather than delving deeply into theory, it invites you to be active and to make an immediate start!
