Franklin Method® Workshops

Our Franklin Method® workshops offer a unique approach to movement and body awareness, distinct from our other workshops by focusing on the use of dynamic imagery, experiential anatomy, and mental re-patterning techniques. These sessions are designed to help you understand how your body is meant to move and function, using the power of the mind to create positive changes in your movement patterns and overall well-being.

Why Choose Franklin Method®?

Unlike traditional exercise classes that focus solely on physical movements, the Franklin Method® integrates mental imagery with practical exercises to re-educate your body’s habitual patterns. This method is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of how the body works, release tension, improve coordination, and enhance overall body function.
