Providing quality learning enrichment programs in schools
Rhythms of Life is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2001. We conduct workshops at schools, recovery centers, and community clubs serving over one-hundred thousand people in nearly 30 States.
Rhythms of Life mentors habits for healthy living -- using non-competitive, challenging, physical and rhythmic activities that promote cognitive development, self-expression, and self-esteem. Our activities appeal to diverse populations transcending barriers such as language, learning and physical abilities, and socio-economic status.
Our core programs include: stix play (juggling sticks), juggling, drumming, Ultimate Frisbee and disc golf, and Yoga. In Taos New Mexico and surrounding areas we also have a farm club, rock and roll music club, and multi-media production programs.

Frisbee Disc Skills – Ultimate Frisbee and Frisbee Golf
Stix Play!
This ancient activity involves juggling with two handles and a baton. Native American's, the dynasty-ruled Chinese, and others used them for the same reasons we're doing it: it's FUN! Plus, stix juggling stimulates cross-brain development, improves balance, concentration, and coordination.
Individual play, partner play, and group games are included with this research-based program. There are infinite opportunities for self expression using learned skills and creating your own.
Used in more than 3,500 programs nationwide, our curricula meets national standards and it is always a huge hit with kids, teachers, parents, and principals.
Rhonda Holt, the National Elementary PE Teacher of 2000, points out how this activity levels the playing field so that both athletes and non-athletes experience success. Stix play is gender neutral and non-competitive, while still providing a life time of challenge to master.
