43 workshops happening across nine venues around the country, from February to October. Your chance to experience the magic of Franklin Method with Bruce Hildebrand.
The Franklin Method® integrates movement, health and well-being through a careful study of the evolution of the human body.
Considerations include how the skeleton moves in concert with the biomechanical rhythm of each bone, how each muscle expands and contracts in synchronised waves and even how the organs support flexibility and alignment.
Using biomechanical principles, touch and other awareness techniques you will learn to harmonise the underlying systems into a whole, allowing movement and well-being to flow throughout the body. Keeping in mind that the body was designed for movement – “the great elixir of life” – when there is lack of movement life becomes stagnant and stale.
The Franklin Method® exercises explore a rich variety of images to enhance all movements – including everyday activities, walking, sitting, standing, dynamic stretching, Therabands®, Franklin balls, dance, rhythm and improvisation to stimulate the ongoing dialogue of life in the body.
Bruce Hildebrand is the pioneer for Franklin Method® teaching in Australia – certified through the Franklin Method® Institute in Switzerland. He is the co-director of Balance & Control Pilates Studio in Melbourne, and recently resigned as Strength Coach at the Australian Ballet School after 6 years.
