School is here and who doesn't need a helping hand to have our kids sit down, focus and concentrate longer to do their homework/study without getting into power struggles !
Well, Brain Gym is a program of physical movements that enhance learning and performance in ALL areas. Brain Gym includes 26 easy and enjoyable targeted activities that integrate body and mind to bring about rapid and often dramatic improvements in: concentration, memory, reading, writing, organizing, listening, physical coordination, and more. Brain Gym develops the brain's neural pathways the way nature does through movement.These simple exercises are based on the copyrighted work of Paul E. Dennison, Ph.D., and Gail E. Dennison since 1981.
Brain Gym benefits include improvements in learning, vision, memory, expression, and movement abilities, in both young people and adults. In the classroom, teachers typically report improvements in attitude, attention, homework, behavior, and academic performance for the entire class.
Brain Gym also comprises a set of exercises that uses fingers to stimulate neurons in the brain that improves blood circulation. The aim is to stimulate the nerves in the body and create energy.
Sharon Gelber is one of my favourite BG Instructors, who has always inspired me. Her Workshops are an exciting new medium to allow children of all ages to experience a full creative experience, uniting the two sides of the brain and the body in achieving full potential.
