Isabella Buggelsheim

Coming from the contemporary dance world and trained in various approaches to conscious movement, Isabella Buggelsheim is a certified Franklin Method® educator, a Feldenkrais practitioner, and a Polestar Pilates teacher. Founder of the CanalCentral center in Paris in 2005, she has been supporting movement professionals and individuals for many years. Her approach combines experiential anatomy, body awareness, and functional movement within a pedagogy that is both precise, accessible, and deeply experiential.

Following debilitating lower back pain, she embarked on a journey of research into body practices and somatic pedagogies in order to regain mobility, comfort, and movement efficiency. Today, this personal experience feeds a teaching practice deeply rooted in body listening, anatomical understanding, and movement intelligence.

She works closely with Eric Franklin to transmit the Franklin Method® in Europe through professional training programs, workshops, and specialized courses. Her teaching is distinguished by the integration of the Franklin Method® within Pilates and Feldenkrais movements, creating concrete bridges between visualization, bodily awareness, and functional movement.

Through this multidisciplinary approach, Isabella guides movement professionals and individuals toward a better understanding of the body, greater fluidity in movement, and lasting bodily autonomy.
