The work is taught through a series of maps that explore the vast terrain of both the inner and outer worlds of individuals and their relationships to others and the space around them. The maps offer a soul journey by exploring embodiment, emotions, the life cycle, the psyche, and the archetypes. The rhythms offer understanding of our innate powers – being, loving, knowing, seeing and healing.

The first map, "Waves
<sup>TM</sup> " teaches embodiment of the five distinct rhythms. To embody the rhythms means access to the deep internal wisdom that human bodies contain. The "Heartbeat<sup>TM</sup>" map teaches how people have embodied and how they express the emotions of fear, anger, sorrow, joy and compassion; while the "Cycles<sup>TM</sup>" map provides great insight and understanding about how one has internalized conditioning and relationships throughout the life cycle specifically in the stages of birth, childhood, puberty, maturity and death. Insight and understanding of the ego is delivered through the psyche map, "Mirrors<sup>TM</sup>".

While the practice is greatly transformative and can be deeply therapeutic, Gabrielle Roth does not describe 5Rhythms as a form of dance therapy. Many therapists have obtained a 5Rhythms certification to support their therapeutic practice.<ref>http://5rhythms.com</ref>
