Anna Witholt-Abaldo has been studying the 5 Rhythms® with Gabrielle Roth and faculty for over 10 years, and became a certified 5 Rhythms® teacher in 2001. Anna has taught classes and workshops in Europe, the Caribbean and New England since 1997; her backgrounds in body-oriented psychology (MA) and Authentic Movement add a sense of permission, groundedness and depth to her classes. Anna founded and directed her own studio for dance, movement and personal / spiritual development near Amsterdam in 2001, until she moved to Maine in 2004, following a vision of creating a place for this work amidst the beauty and stillness of nature.

When Anna is not teaching or dancing, she can usually be found chasing her two little children down a woods trail, or up to her elbows in play dough. She also loves spending time with dear friends; taking in the beauty of Maine’s woods, hills, lakes and beaches; creating a warm and happy home with her beloved; and making art.

Anna is a professional member of the 5 Rhythms® Teachers Association and the American Dance Therapy Association.
