Are you a #movement educator, physical #therapist or fitness coach seeking to take your teaching to the next level? The #FranklinMethod Teacher Training helps you understand the body better, paving the way for a more intuitive, deeper approach to learning and teaching.

Before the body can be trained, it should be understood. The Franklin Method will provide you with a profound anatomical understanding, and then equip you with the tools you’ll need to teach this understanding to others.

Building on this, the Franklin Method then applies imagery and embodiment techniques to help you move in step with your anatomical design and function – you will then learn how to pass these groundbreaking techniques on to your clients and students.

This approach will revolutionize your teaching style, inspiring more learning, boosting participation, and yielding better results.
As part of our teacher training offering, you can learn to become a “stand-alone” Franklin Method Educator, or integrate our techniques into your existing teaching – whether it’s dance, yoga, Pilates, martial arts, equestrianism, physiotherapy, or any other type of physical education.

The Franklin Method® uses Dynamic #Neurocognitive #Imagery™, anatomical embodiment, and educational skills to create lasting positive change in your body and mind. The Franklin Method was founded by Eric Franklin in 1994 and is taught all over the world, including the Universities of Vienna, Cologne, Karlsruhe, and the Julliard School in New York.

The Franklin Method® is recognized by the health providers in #Switzerland and is regularly seen at #Dance, #Pilates, #Yoga and #Physiotherapy conferences. One of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century is the plasticity of the #brain; that the lives we live shape the brain we develop. The Franklin Method® is at the forefront of practical #neuro-plasticity; showing you how to use your brain to improve your body’s function. It teaches you how to harness the #transforming power of the #mind. It can be applied to improve all of your #abilities. It all starts with the #knowledge that we have the #power to change.

The #FranklinMethod® teaches #dynamic #alignment and how to move your body with maximum #efficiency to keep your body #youthful and #energized. Your whole body is part of a symphony of coordinated #movement. In a sense, your posture is reinvented at every instant. In every moment, the ideal combination of #limbs, #joints, gravity, moving parts, connective #tissue, and #muscle must be found and directed by your brain and #nervous system.
