What happens in a Franklin Method® workshop?
All Franklin Method® workshops begin with a mind body warmup and introduces participants to the principles of the Franklin Method® that show how we bring about positive change in our movement, feeling and thinking.
We then move onto the topic of the workshop that is the study for the session. We take a deep dive into this area of the body, learning about the chosen anatomy, physiology or movement. I take you through ways to find and discover your own body in movement, how to make your movement healthy and how to use imagery in every possible way to improve what you do and how you feel. I will use many different methods to help you embody movement and develop your own felt sense.
In doing so, you will learn more about how you are currently moving, as well as what you can do to make their own movement optimal; comfortable, efficient and healthy.
For some topics we may dive deeply into the body, its inner anatomy and physiology. These experiences can be incredibly moving as you experience something you have always owned but never possibly experienced. They can also be incredibly calming and feel like either a moving or static meditation. We are not ‘doing’ meditation but when you engage deeply with the process you will find you mind will empty and you can feel very relaxed.
The Franklin Method® teaches you how to stay healthy in daily life and gives you a set of tools you take away which are yours to apply to whatever you wish.
Franklin Method® workshops also use the Franklin Balls and bands to help train the body - each session will let you know what kind of equipment if any you may need.
How my clients felt about their immersive experience with Franklin Method®
“I had the pleasure of attending a very inspiring Franklin Method® specialist class... In the introduction to the class Sarah wrote “What does it feel like to move from your central or peripheral nervous system?” My answer is “Under Sarah’s guidance it feels amazing and utterly mind blowing”...You are a wonderful teacher... I can still visualise the brain and spinal cord dance - absolutely magical..”
— C.B.S. Franklin Method® Specialist Class: Centre and Periphery: Exploring the Nervous System in Movement
“Sarah is a wonderful teacher. Endlessly knowledgeable but conveys complex ideas in a straightforward way. My mind is calm and my body can do things I never thought possible.”
— C.W. Breathing for Life Workshop
“Amazing workshop with Sarah. If you want to be dancing or simply moving happily through life (avoiding injury) I’d totally recommend Sarah’s teaching. Felt so good afterwards. The difference moving with an understanding of your anatomy is incredible”.
- B.W. Pelvic Power workshop
What workshops do you teach?
One of my favourites to teach - the jaw! Why? Learning to embody it, keep it tension free really liberates your movement and keeping it under control can really get you out of that tension headache area!
