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.

Release tension in your spine and relax your neck and shoulders

Learn about the connection of mind body

Learn about the movements and rhythm of the heart in breathing

Learn more about how working from the heart can have a positive effect upon the nervous system, leaving you feeling very calm and relaxed through heart led breath works as well as finding out more about how to improve our vagal tone.

Leave the workshop feeling very relaxed, calm and of happy heart!

Coming in July and finally returning to Birmingham, my latest workshop Your Embodied Pelvis: Optimal function, dynamic movement and health.

The pelvis is a keystone in our body - a place where force is transferred and a place we can call our centre.

If you have suffered from lower back pain, or have problems with your hips, knees, ankles or feet it is possible that some of the solutions you are looking for are to be found in your pelvis.

If you practice or teach a movement modality such as Pilates, Yoga or Dance understanding how your pelvis functions and moves in movement is critical for healthy movement, precision and alignment.

Franklin Method® Masterclass: Your Dynamic Pelvic Floor: Active, Toned and Balanced.

Change the narrative…

Your pelvic floor is a place of dynamic support regardless of if you are a professional mover or just a human being! Your pelvic floor is adaptive, and has the ability to absorb and transfer force throughout your whole body, depending on your activity, be that dancing, pilates or just walking around. By embodying the movements in your pelvic floor then you already have the fundamental exercises you need to keep it healthy. Pelvic floor exercises are definitely more than pulling everything up, that is just one exercise that although may be helpful for one person is not helpful for everyone. A balanced and dynamic pelvic floor is a tremendously powerful place to embody because many fundamental movements suddenly become much easier to carry out and our alignment throughout our legs, stability, comfort in the lower back and throughout your whole body improves. You are so supported!

So my Franklin Method® Friday masterclass tomorrow is a journey to this part of us that has been demonised by the media, by those who advertise from a position of fear. So, by embodying and learning about what your pelvic floor can actually do come and join me to change the narrative!
