WHAT IS BRAIN GYM?
Brain Gym combines the science of body movement and brain function to promote the development of new neural pathways. This results in increased comprehension, communication and organization skills for all learners.
Using brain specific physical activities that activate the brain for optimal storage and retrieval of information, Brain Gym techniques facilitate the brain and body working more effectively and efficiently together.

TOOLS FOR
LIFELONG LEARNING
Brain Gym prepares students of all ages to practice and master the skills for the mechanics of learning. The program utilizes a simple teaching format, language for stress-free learning and a series of movements for integrating learning into the physiology. Brain Gym provides a self-directed system to pace individual learning needs and build self-esteem through successful mastery of skills.
Brain Gym is distinctive in that it addresses the physical (rather than mental) components of learning. It builds on what the learner already knows and does well meeting the learner just as he/she is, without any judgment of his/her capabilities. Brain Gym teaches the student key elements of learning theory that he/she will be able to apply lifelong. Brain Gym is used effectively in business, sports and the arts, as well as the classroom.
Long term social benefits of Brain Gym are the following averted costs: educational remediation, juvenile into adult crime and diminished job earnings.
"There are no lazy, withdrawn, aggressive or angry children. Only children denied the ability to learn in a way that is natural to them."

Optimized Learning with Brain Gym®
Switching on Physical Intelligence
Brain Gym is the world’s most
successful learning system and is found in 86 countries. It is a learning
readiness program based on the premise that the deepest, most well-integrated learning is
always drawn out through our kinesthetic experience - our perception of our own
movement. Brain Gym is Edu-K’s core curriculum.
“The ultimate purpose of education must be not the acquisition
of information, but the ability to discover meaning, connectedness, and a sense
of belonging in the world. As we discover how to use movement, we prepare
ourselves to respond to life with the least effort and the greatest honoring of
our personal gifts and resources.”
