Why use Brain Gym®?

Brain Gym® is a set of simple movement exercises that offer great ways to integrate the whole brain for enhanced learning and performance. Brain Gym® identifies the states that create frustration and failure, and re-educates the mind-body system to function in a more integrated whole-brain manner. It supports and enhances our efforts to achieve a specific goal, including more creative thoughts and ideas. Brain Gym® assists us in moving out of ‘stuck’ behavior patterns, created by stress and lack of motivation.

Since 1992, BRAIN GYM® has annually been nominated as one of the top 10 learning programs in the USA.

Comments by high school student participants following Brain Gym® workshops conducted by Sharon Gelber:

• I did the movements every morning and they changed my
  whole day.
• I understood what I was reading more, and took every thing in.
• When I did the ear exercises I could concentrate better when I
  had to listen.
• My swimming is faster and my stroke is stronger.
• I do the exercises before cricket and they relax and focus me before going to bat.
  My aim is also better.
• My teacher couldn't believe how quickly I finished the test
  and I felt so good
• I felt a lot calmer to deal with problems. I could then take one thing at a time and sort each out.
• Brain Gym® came at the perfect time to help get me through the exams- from having trouble learning my whole life; I got a B for finals!!!
