Franklin Method® Immersive Worldwide Livestream via Zoom: The Dance of the Heart: Happy and Healthy in Movement and Breath
Coming in January 2024 one of my most favourite masterclasses on the Heart.
What does it mean to embody the heart?
What do you know about the heart or associate with it?
Have you heard the cue to 'Lift your heart'? How do you do that?
How does the heart move in movement as well as breathing?
If we learn to embody the heart how can that help us feel much calmer and at peace?
How can we use breath and movement to look after our heart?
How can we use something called embodiment to really use this piece of us that is so precious?
The Heart is an intelligent and tremendously beautiful piece of design. It has its own brain and the ability to survive even if we cut off the nerves connecting it to our brain. Right now, it conducts its own dance inside your body, whilst you are thinking breathing and moving. Emotions have as much to do with the heart and body as they do with the brain.
But we can use it for so much more than that: the heart can be used as a joint, to aid our movement and take away tension from the musculoskeletal system. Developing skills and learning about the heart can aid not just movement but enhance our sense of calm and wellbeing in body and in mind,
In this workshop you will...
Learn more about the power of dynamic imagery skills and how this can affect the fastest change in the body and the mind.
Learn about the function and structure of the heart and different ways to keep it healthy.
Learn and embody the heart as a muscle and a joint: learn new exercises to have greater flexibility and a sense of openness in your body.
