Move to Learn: The Brain-Body Connection

Hidden barriers to learning—like stress, overwhelm, or sensory overload—can throw the brain and body out of sync. When teens feel anxious or distracted, their ability to focus, participate, and grow is disrupted.

Brain Gym® helps reset that balance.

Movement

What Is Brain Gym®?

Brain Gym® is a globally recognized program made up of 26 easy-to-learn movements designed to boost brain function.

Created by Dr. Paul Dennison, the method draws from (but not limited to):

Kinesiology

These simple movements are designed for everyday use—anyone, anywhere, anytime—no equipment required. Whether used at school, at home, or in therapy, Brain Gym® helps learners of all ages re-engage with focus and ease.
