What is the Franklin Method?

When you can sense, feel, and picture the inside your body, you have an opportunity to improve how you feel in and move your body. For example, if you understand and can picture your shoulder joint - you have a much better chance of moving your arm and shoulder in a healthy way. Healthy movement means less wear and tear on your joints, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Eric Franklin teaches his method to many of the finest athletes and dancers around the world - they understand that when they can feel and visualize how they move - they are much more empowered to prevent injury.

Fortunately, you don't need to be a performer to benefit from learning about your body. If you are alive, you are moving in every moment. Are you walking around with tension in your shoulders, neck, or back as many people are? The question I pose to you is - who's creating that tension? Well, you are of course! Sorry to break it to you. More importantly though is do you want to get rid of that tension and feel good in your body? If the answer is YES, then consider a taking a Franklin Method class.

Each Franklin Method class is an opportunity to:

- learn about how your body works and is designed to move
- learn how your brain creates movement
- learn mental training for better harmony between your mind and body
- develop an internal vision of your body

Participation in these classes will give you tools to create an everlasting friendship between your mind and body. The Franklin Method approach incorporates imagery, metaphor, anatomy, movement, mental training, verbal and touch cues to increase mind and body awareness. Movements are fun and easy, yet when combined with the power of the mind, are powerfully transforming. Movements are fun and easy, yet when combined with the power of the mind, are powerfully transforming.
