You’ll find your Brain Gym® 101 course to be a movement-based educational experience centered around twenty-six simple activities that recall the movements children naturally do during their first years of life as they learn to coordinate their eyes, ears, hands, and whole body.
As a key element of the work known as Edu-K, the course promotes efficient communication between the brain and the rest of the body, increasing play and creativity and alleviating stress as it enhances performance. The balance processes taught in the course have been designed to develop the brain’s neural pathways in the same way that nature does: through movement.
Once we’re able to notice and attend to our experience, learning is easier and we enjoy life more. Balanced learning takes place as we gracefully access new learning in the context of movement and associations. No matter what challenges you may face, this course will help you to awaken your natural abilities, freeing you to move, learn, grow, and succeed.
