Trainings & Courses
-
A Scoliosis Exploration
This 4-week course is for people with scoliosis or for movement professionals who work with those with scoliosis. Scoliosis can feel like a scary diagnosis, but it doesn’t have to be. Our philosophy is that understanding the body more - how it is designed, how it moves, and how it adapts - enables us to work with the body’s patterns to improve balance and function with ease.
-
Dissection & Embodiment Experience
Dates for 2024 labs: July 14-20 or October 6-11.
Work with a group of fellow explorers to journey through the body layer by layer by dissecting unfixed cadavers in small groups with expert guidance. Then apply and experience your new hands on insights in motion through Franklin Method-based embodiment of the tissues, bones, and organs.

“She is a treasure as a person
& a teacher.”
“As a physician, I have seen a great deal of benefit in her methods, which truly emphasize working with what one has, with no sense of a " one size fits all" approach. She tailors the yoga to my body and has enabled me to do my best.”

Franklin Method: Muscles for Healthy Breathing
Saturday, May 18th - 9:00am-12:00pm PST
With a spotlight on the functional biomotion of the most important breathing muscle, the diaphragm, we will also embody muscles that assist healthy breathing. The results are not only the positive effects that come from good breathing (calm nervous system, better digestion, more energy) but embodying the muscles that support healthy breathing can greatly improve lower back, neck and shoulder tension as well.
This class is OPEN to the public, counts for CEs for LMT’s and is held over Zoom. For more information on registering for class please reach out to OSM directly here
-
Franklin Method for the Adductors/Abductors of the Hip
Saturday, June 1st - 9:00am-12:00pm PST
In this course we will not only embody these muscles in hip adduction and abduction, we will explore their other important functions/movements as well as experience fascial connections with the back, the knee and the pelvic floor. This can help create a "doorway" to working with your clients as well as to your own motion/posture as well.
This class is OPEN to the public, counts for CEs for LMT’s and is held over Zoom. For more information on registering for class please reach out to OSM directly here
As part of the Franklin Method® Faculty, Ali frequently supports trainings and programming.

Dynamic Cueing for Yoga
Traditional cues can easily become redundant and limiting. Whether you’ve been teaching yoga for a long time or you’re a new teachers, cueing is the way we guide our students - and that guidance can offer so much more than just rote positional direction.
