Brain
Gym in the Classroom
Julie has inserviced many schools and teachers in Brain Gym in
the Classroom for a number of years. Brain Gym in the Classroom
is an introductory 6 hour course focusing mainly on the Brain Gym
movement program. It is part of a 32hour program Brain Gym 101,
which is part of the training program of Educational Kinesiology.
Brain Gym in the Classroom introduces you to the Brain Gym movement
program and allows you to gain some understanding as to why movement
is the door to learning. You will learn Brain Gym movements designed
specifically to enhance learning skills and how they can be used
in a classroom environment to improve concentration, clear thinking,
coordination and ability to focus.
Brain Gym in the Classroom can be experienced as an inservice to
a school or cluster or by attending a class at The Thinking Body.
