What if simple, playful everyday movements could optimize learning capacity, cognitive skills, and physical coordination and even increase energy levels or calm anxious states? From stress reduction to pain relief to unleashing untapped human potential, that’s the incredible power that Brain Gym taps into and activates for all ages.

Based on groundbreaking discoveries in the 1970s about movement patterns impacting neural wiring and information processing, educators Paul and Gail Dennison conceived an approach leveraging this mind-body connection through targeted exercises promoting whole-brain integration. They termed this emerging field Educational Kinesiology.

These intentionally designed sequences of 26 Brain Gym activities – incorporating stretches, poses, and energetic movements – stimulate hemispheric communication and alignment across mental, physical, and emotional systems for peak performance, effectively “rewiring” neural pathways and reflex responses to enable more integrated, fluid functionality free of blockages.

Our special guest for today’s show is Patricia Collins. She is a licensed Educational Kinesiology Instructor. Patricia hosts Brain Gym® courses and consults clients and volunteers at schools to spread the gift of a more integrated body and mind. Patricia’s search for health and well-being for her two children, who were challenged with food allergies, began over 40 years ago. As a primary school teacher, she battled with thyroid and adrenal issues and ended up with chronic fatigue. With the help of holistic health practitioners, she gradually improved and developed a new passion for holistic modalities and started studies in multiple natural therapies.

Join us to unpack the what, why and how behind Brain Gym. Learn why consistent practice produces phenomenal cognitive, physical and emotional breakthroughs in children, adults and seniors alike. Gain insights on the cutting edge of natural learning therapies from a passionate instructor.
