Brain
Gym® or Educational Kinesiology (Edu-K) is an action-oriented
educational program that uses simple movements to enhance learning.
Brain Gym® was originally developed to assist children with learning
difficulties. Brain Gym's
scope has been expanded to include stress reduction, performance
enhancement and life goal realization.
This program was founded
by Paul E. Dennison, Ph.D., and Gail Dennison.
Brain Gym® is now used in educational and business settings worldwide.
How does It Work?
Brain Gym® techniques integrate
the whole brain eliminating learning blocks
and allowing information to flow freely. Brain Gym® supports the
development
of efficient neuropathways. In the process, unproductive emotional patterns
are released. Brain Gym® movements free our innate ability to learn
and
reach our highest potential.
Benefits include improvements
in academics: reading, writing, math,
communication, and movement abilities. Brain Gym® assists in clearing
emotional stress, improving communication at home, school, and in the
work
place, and in manifesting inner and outer success.
