The Franklin Method
Your week of classes with Tom will introduce you to the Franklin Method! Instead of concentrating on a specific style of exercise, the Franklin Method places the emphasis on how the body itself was designed to move. We’ll practice exercises for tension release and how to improve movement ability and alignment in each area of the body. You’ll learn what’s needed for a healthy spine, shoulders & neck, posture, better balance, flexibility, to breath better and how to make gravity your friend. You will learn how to get desired results from any exercise that you do and it’s inspiring and fun! This approach is designed to revolutionize the way you experience your body and give you amazing tools for life! Sun, M, T, W, Th, F, 2:00 pm
