Happy Feet! A Franklin Method® Workshop with Josie Bray
Saturday, June 1
1:00 - 3:00 pm
The Franklin Method is a student-centered system for teaching functional movement and anatomy, using imagery and its training effect to make you feel better in body and mind. In this workshop with Josie Bray, you will learn warm-up techniques that have been proven to increase flexibility and balance without stretching, ways of calming the mind and nervous system, and finding dynamic alignment so the body is free of tension.
Learn how feet are designed, how they work, and how to best use them for dance, sports, and for daily life. You will leave with a deeper, more complete understanding of your feet, and with exercises you can do every day to strengthen and stabilize your body while making your feet feel fabulous.
For all ages and all levels. Dancers and non-dancers all welcome!Limited to 12 students. RSVP to kieranjordandancers@gmail.com by May 20th to hold your spot.$35 (or two marks on class card)
