ABOUT

What is RHYTHM?

Reaching Hearts of Youth Through Health and Movement (RHYTHM) is a movement empowerment program that targets the SEL competencies.  We teach stress management through mind/body exercises as well as promote the development of social/emotional strength within. Every class includes fun fitness, a built in segment focusing on empowering participants by boosting self-esteem and confidence, and end with a meditative cool down.  

While RHYTHM Academy focuses on girls ages 9-15, RHYTHM Jr. focuses on girls ages 5-8.  We have now added our inclusive program-RHYTHM Plus.  This program is a movement empowerment program for all children and adolescents ages 5-17.
