Brain Gym, also known as Educational Kinesiology, is a comprehensive personal development program, based on the premise that…. “movement is the door to learning.”
- Educate = comes from the Latin word, educare, which means to “draw out.”
- Kinesiology = the study of the movement of the human body.
- Educational Kinesiology = a system for empowering learners of any age by using movement activities to draw out hidden potential
and make it readily available. - Edu-k: to enhance living and learning through the science of movement.
By completing a series of 26 specifically designed Brain Gym activities that are easy and enjoyable to do and directly enhance brain function, combined with a goal and a 5 step Edu-k balance process, integration occurs. Whole brain-body integration allows you to activate communication between the two brain hemispheres and the whole body for crossing the visual/auditory/kinesthetic and tactile midline. It is in this integrated state that you can experience the whole brain and body working together simultaneously and new learning can take place.

Brain Gym® works by facilitating optimal achievement of mental potential, by promoting efficient communication among the many nerve cells and functional centers located throughout the brain and body. Blocks in learning occur when information cannot flow freely among these centers. The Brain Gym® movements stimulate this flow of information within the brain and body, freeing our innate ability to learn and function at top efficiency.
