BRAIN
GYM® 101
This course is for Special Educators, Therapists, Parents,
Teachers, Physical Education Teachers, and anyone else wanting
to learn with ease. The class can count toward contact hours
or CEUs for most therapists and nurses.
Brain Gym® movements stimulate brain function. The activities
are easy and enjoyable and they bring about rapid and often
dramatic improvements in concentration, organization, memory,
reading, writing, listening, physical coordination and more.
These activities promote more effective neurological functioning
through stimulus of the proprioceptive, vestibular, voluntary
nervous and other systems of the mind/body connections.
This course offers participants methods and techniques that
can immediately be used with individuals or groups. Much attention
is given to noticing/assessment skills.
TEACHER PRACTICUM
The Teacher
Practicum provides the skills to support the emergence of
the authentic creative teacher in each participant. Completion
of this certifies the graduates to teach Brain Gym classes
as Brain Gym Instructors and to present themselves as Brain
Gym Consultants. The Teacher Practicum is a thorough training
for successful facilitation and is highly transformational
on the personal level. This class will give the participant
a deeper understanding of Educational Kinesiology and broaden
his/her base in the use of Brain Gym, both personally and
professionally. Licensure is through The Edu-K Foundation.
RHYTHMIC
MOVEMENT TRAINING
Harold Blomburg, Stockholm, Sweden or Carolyn Nyland
This method is developed after observing the rhythmic movements
that infants spontaneously make throughout their experiences
of the early childhood reflexes. Kerstin Linde developed this
method of whole body exercises that can be used by small children
or adults. Dr. Harold Blomburg, a psychiatrist, has used the
Rhythmic Movement with cases of ADD, ADHD, Cerebral
Palsy and other conditions with great success. Participants
of this class will learn the movements and how they relate
to the reflexes.
