This simple, fun and highly effective inspirational programme has been designed to do this and will provide schools, businesses and sports people with achieving their maximum performance. There are 26 specific Brain Gym movements that make these essential connections.

Schools that introduce Brain Gym movements into classes or games / PE daily to children around 5 years onwards, and the children love the movements, they have found less learning difficulties, less bullying, more concentration, improved social interaction and learning has become a pleasure and an adventure.

The success rate is very high, with around 95% of my clients showing significant improvements in their goals within a very short period of time. Don't just take my word for it, here is what a couple of my recent clients have said about Brain Gym:

"I can communicate with my staff so much more effectively and they have noticed a change in me"

"My co-ordination has been fantastic since the Brain Gym session. Moving is so much easier and I have more energy"

"Simple, amazing and powerful, it's a fantastic technique. I wish I'd discovered it years ago".

It is essential that the whole brain is integrated to make learning natural and easy. The Brain Gym movements have been found to integrate each area of the brain to allow information to flow easily from the senses into memory and then out again as new learning. One is able to perform with less stress and greater confidence.

LATERALITY relates to the two hemispheres of the brain. These control communication essentail for reading, writing and whole body movement and being able to move and think at the same time.

CENTERING relates to the higher and lower parts of the brain. This area manages feelings and expression of emotions, responding clearly with safety, relaxation, grounding and organisation.

FOCUS relates to the coordination between the front and back lobes of the brain. It manages comprehension and keeping perspective. People without this skill are said to have attention disorders, behavioural problems, ADHD. They have an inability to comprehend.

The Brain Gym movements combine the brain in each of these areas, allowing information to flow easily from the senses into memory and then out again as new learning. One is able to perform with less stress and to express creativity using more of one’s mental and physical potential.
