SHORT TERM WORKSHOPS FOR TEENS AND ADULTS
Posture for Performance Date: March 2017 ~
If you are you a performer, or a public speaker then you know about the importance of your posture. But you may not realize that its importance extends beyond sitting and standing and into your movement. This is why, in the Franklin Method®, we prefer to refer to posture as Dynamic Alignment. It is from here that you either develop the poor movement patterns that lead to injury, or the functional movement patterns that prolong your health. This two hour workshop is filled with fun partnering activities, eye opening imagery, and simple exercises that will encourage your dynamic alignment and instill an interest to perfect your Posture for Performance. TUITION $30
Relax your Neck and Shoulders Date:
There are few tasks left in life which do not require the use of our hands, arms, shoulders and neck. Perhaps this is why over 1/2 of the adult population complains of neck or shoulder pain. This three hour workshop offers anatomical knowledge, imagery, functional movement and embodiment exercises which will allow you to not only release stress and break patterns of chronic tension but also perform life’s tasks with smooth efficiency and ease. Students will leave with several tools that they can use to relax the neck and liberate the shoulders from tension and pain.
