About Erik Iversen

Erik co-founded the original 5Rhythms Teacher Training in NYC in 1988, and is presently on the faculty of the Teacher's Training Certification Program. In 2016, he was certified as a coach from the Hendricks Institute, and in 2017 he graduated from their 2-year Transformational Leadership program. He was certified as a Hellerwork Structural Integration practitioner in 1986, and maintains a part-time bodywork practice to this day. In 2019 He founded Somatomy a 3 Module training in the practice of embodied presence, creativity and movement. In 2017 he became the Vice-President of Kite Parade Co, an innovation agency dedicated to activating and actualizing genius creativity. Along with his role as VP, he is also the Director of embodiment and presence. Over three decades, Erik has observed thousands of bodies, including professional dancers, athletes and a wide variety of patients that he treats in his bodywork practice. He has seen the direct connection between our inner state and our body’s outward expression. The more limited we are in our movements, the harder it is to expand our thinking. Conversely, when we expand and develop our movement vocabulary, we increase our cognitive and creative agility. Erik is committed to sharing his knowledge of the body/mind connection and its powerful impact on creative ideation with creative leaders and innovation communities worldwide.
