Imagery - the key body/mind skill

The use of the power of the mind has been known for thousands of years. Today it is used in a variety of fields: health practitioners, psychologists and by athletes and dancers. In the Franklin-Method® we experience the benefits of the mind-body connection through imagery, movement and touch. Our imagery will provide the brain with the feedback it needs to create improved ease of movement, flexibility and strength.

Experiential Anatomy

The revolutionary aspect of the Franklin-Method® approach to anatomy is that it is based on evolution. Taking into account the changes and challenges the body has gone through and the solutions it came up with. Principles from biomechanics are introduced, for example the bone rhythms, how the bones actually turn and maneuver in movement. We will also learn how our organs support movements, flexibility and alignment. Touch is used to increase awareness. The goal is to harmonize the underlying systems into a whole from where health and well being flows.

Reconditioning Movement

The body was designed to move and movement is the great elixir of life. Where there is lack of movement life becomes stagnant and stale. Thus the Franklin-Method® uses a rich variety of movement ranging from everyday activity, walking, sitting, standing to dynamic stretching, Therabands®, Franklin balls, dance, rhythm and improvisation to stimulate the ongoing dialog of life in a body.
