First you participate in a workshop; titles range from:
- Dynamic Imagery for strength and flexibility
- Pelvic Power · Imagery for a Healthy Spine
- Liberate your Shoulders/Release your Neck
- Fabulous Feet – Organize your dynamic Base
- Breath – The key to life
Thereafter there is the Franklin Method Teacher Training Course where there are three levels
- Introductory
- Intermediate and
- Advanced.
Each level consists of three modules, each module is one week long and in between modules you have homework and teaching assignments. In the Introductory level (1st year) you will learn about the basics of Imagery in all its applications. Especially the bone-rhythms of the body; how the bones naturally move inside your body to produce efficient and effortless movement. Also fundamentals such as biomechanics, posture and breathing is covered. At the end of the course you receive a certificate and the right to teach a trio of the introductory workshops; Basic Introduction to Imagery, Pelvic Power and Healthy Spine. In the Intermediate level (2nd year) you will deepen your knowledge of the muscular system, learn how to use imagery to facilitate muscles, how to use touch to affect a change in muscle tension, all the ins and outs of strength, stretching and endurance training. Upon completion you will receive a certificate and the right to teach a series of workshops like a Psoas class, a ball and Thera-Band® class and a Foot class. In the Advanced level (3rd year) we cover the inner anatomy, where you will deepen your insight and experience of all the systems of the body; nervous system, cardio vascular, immune system and lymphatic system. You will learn how to use imagery to affect a positive change and experience full organic support. We combine the information of the bone rhythms, the muscle interactions and the organs into a whole. Upon completion you will receive a certificate and the right to teach a number of topic related workshops. Note that you can take the introductory level by itself. You can add on the intermediate level or take the whole program as you interest and desire dictates. We like to point out that in these trainings you receive information, which you not so much are to get as to become. Thus the common asked question why not just do year one, well we leave that possibility open but most students experience a deepening of their experience of the material as they go on with year 2 and 3. |
