Workshops

My workshops draw on my study and practice of Osteopathy, my Franklin Method Training and my ongoing apprenticeship with Susannah and Ya'Acov Darling Khan at The School of Movement Medicine. My workshops also draw on my love of life, my deep appreciation of the bodies, hearts and minds we are born with and my sense of fun. Workshops are generally held at my studio at 33 High Street Graveley, Hitchin, Herts, SG4 7LA unless otherwise specified. (map here) The studio is equipped with Franklin Balls and Therabands for exercises that we may do. It also has all the anatomical models and resources we need. All you need to bring is some water and some enthusiasm for your body and the discovery of a better relationship with it. I would suggest that you wear the sort of clothes that would be appropriate for dancing, yoga or Pilates – i.e. something that is loose enough for you to move freely. It is good to have layers that you can take off or put on as you heat up and cool down with acivity.

 

Many different types of people can attend and benefit from my workshops - indeed anyone who has a body and would like to have a better relationship with it will benefit from a workshop. This new workshop is intended for everyone of whatever movement ability.

Health professionals like Osteopaths, Doctors, Physiotherapists and other bodyworkers, movement professionals like dance teachers, Pilates instructors, fitness instructors and yoga teachers will all also get a lot from these workshops. If you ever tell a client to do an exercise then you need to be able to do it yourself - to demonstrate and embody an exercise is the easiest way to impart it to another person. The experiential anatomy aspect of my workshops is a very useful refresher of practical, kinaestheticaly based anatomical knowledge. For hands on practitioners that kinaesthetic sense of the anatomy is invaluable.

Custom Workshops

Franklin Method has application in every part of our physical lives – in sport, in dance, in everyday life. If you are part of a club or a group I am happy to develop a custom workshop based on Franklin Method to help you achieve the specific goals of your movement discipline.  I have developed a workshop specifically for Fencers (my sister is a Commonwealth fencer for Scotland) which will run this Autumn. If you would like to find out more about how I can develop a Custom Workshop for your club or group please get in touch – David Kellett DO, Franklin Method Teacher
