Since the 1980s, the field of Educational Kinesiology—the study of movement and its relationship to learning—has touched people of all ages and cultures. Edu-K, as it is popularly known, demonstrates that, when the neuropathways for movement are fired, they activate and connect the whole brain in the synergistic way necessary for growth and change.

To live is to move. The success of Edu-K’s fundamental program, Brain Gym®, can be attributed to its effective movements, and balances, as well as to its addressing the physical skills of learning. Since the beginnings of the Edu-K work in 1981 and the publication of our book Brain Gym®: Simple Activities for Whole-Brain Learning in 1986, Edu-K has offered an original approach to education by bringing more movement, pleasure, and mastery to all types of learning.

In the spirit of true education, we in Edu-K do our best to accept ourselves as individuals with unique challenges and great potential. We seek to meet ourselves where we are, honor that place and stay open to learning at our own pace, for our own intrinsic worth. As a student of Brain Gym, you will now have a perpetual opportunity to move through the rich landscape of your own sensory integration. As you rediscover the physical skills involved in your personal learning process, you’ll realize how each one of us is engaged in a lifelong odyssey of growth.

Your Brain Gym® Instructor has met the requirements for licensure from Brain Gym® International. As an experienced facilitator, your instructor will guide you along this part of your journey of self-discovery. We think you’ll be inspired by the possibilities that movement can bring to every area of your life. In your Brain Gym course, you’ll learn to reach for your goals without hesitation.
