| Brain GymŪ is a program of physical activities that enhances
learning ability. Brain GymŪ includes 26 easy and
enjoyable targeted activities that bring about rapid and
often dramatic improvements in concentration, memory,
reading, writing, organizing, listening, physical
coordination, and more.
Brain GymŪ develops the brain's neural pathways the way
nature does: through movement.
Educational Kinesiology - enhanced learning through
movement - was created by Dr. Paul E. Dennison and Gail E.
Dennison through their extensive research in areas that
include education, brain function, psychology, and applied
kinesiology. The Dennisons' visionary insight into the
learning process led them to develop the unique approaches
to education now known as Edu-K and Brain Gym - tools used
to integrate the mind and body through movement.
Based on his understanding of the interdependence of
physical development, language acquisition, and academic
achievement, Paul Dennison devised simple yet powerful
activities to enhance learning. Today these techniques,
which the Denisons continue to develop, are taught in
a variety of settings, including schools, corporations, and
athletic training programs. The Dennisons' contributions to
the field of educational science are far-reaching, and have
transformed the lives of learners around the planet.
Endorsed by the National Learning Foundation, Brain
GymŪ has been taught worldwide in thousands of public and
private schools. It has been shown to be effective in
published studies, and it is being incorporated into a
growing number of corporate, institutional, and athletic
training programs.
Since 1990, Brain GymŪ has been selected annually by the
National Learning Foundation as one of today's leading
technologies for education.
