What Is Brain Gym®?

Brain Gym® is globally recognised- made up of 26 easy-to-learn movements designed to balance and boost brain function.

These simple movements are designed for everyday use—anyone, anywhere, anytime—no equipment required.

Created by Dr. Paul Dennison, the '26' draws from (but not limited to): Kinesiology, Behavioral Optometry, Yoga/ Dance

WE all learn through movement

Brain Gym® is not aerobic it is integrated movement that releases physical, mental, and emotional stress caused by patterns in our brain that tell it so.

The body is the first messenger, and we gently coax it to see /feel into another way of: feeling, thinking and doing.

When we talk about neural connections, what fires together, wires together.

Movement supports new connections to wire up.

No-one needs 'fixing', some developmental milestones (outdated wording), think of it as patterning; It exists or it doesn't. It's never too late to balance the brain and enjoy the flow of new learning that is our innate birthright.

BrainGym is a powerful tool for creating calm and co-regulated learning spaces

Brain Gym® helps reduce these stress responses so teens can show up with curiosity, empathy, and readiness to relate.

  • Join conversations more easily

  • Interpret social cues

  • Manage anxiety in group settings

  • Take turns, listen, and respond with ease

And most importantly – build lasting confidence and self-esteem!
