Brain Gym® Courses

Using Brain Gym® movements, exercises, or activities refers to the original 26 Brain Gym movements, sometimes abbreviated as the 26.  These activities recall movements naturally done during the first years of life, when the body learns to coordinate the eyes, ears, hands, and whole body. The twenty-six activities, along with a program for "learning through movement," were developed by educator and reading specialist Paul E. Dennison and his wife and colleague, Gail E. Dennison, who say that the interdependence of movement, cognition, and applied learning is the basis of their work.  Clients, teachers, and students have been reporting for over 20 years on the effectiveness of these simple activities.
