This is a really good resource for alternate approaches to body alignment and integrative structure. A different approach with much promise. Worth the read!
Live with gravity not against it. July 19, 2005

I am a big fan of Eric Franklin's books. As a dance instructor, not a fitness instructor, he is well aware of the finer points of human performance that are often overlooked by a society so focused on speed and strength. I would recommend this book for two groups of people. One is those studying anatomy. By going through the exercises, the major muscles and bones of the body can be learned on deeper and more useful level than simply by studying them in a book. Experiential learning is best in this case. Second, those with a strong ability to visualize, which doesn't include everyone. Alignment through visualization can be adifficult skill to learn. Having taught in a field similar to Franklin's, I know that not everyone has the internal sense to grasp the concepts here.
A thorough, insightful and well-illustrated(!) book.
 How to Deal With Gravity August 18, 2000

Gravity is the most influencial force in our lives. Eric Franklin's Dynamic Alignment Through Imagery deals how to move in the gravity field. I am not a professial dancer. But I am approaching walking the 4.0 minute mile using body images in Franklin's book as a guide for good alignment. This imagery that moves your body parts better keeps your interest. It is fun. Right now I am working on hip motions images. How much do I like it? I bought five copies to give to my children so they could share good alignment with my grandchildren. So, they all will know how to deal with and make peace with gravity.
