"The Brain Gym® 101 course I attended was amazing!  As a tutor of young children, (ages 5 to 10), I now have access to the Brain Gym® movements, which are invaluable tools.  Focus, attention, reading, writing and comprehension skills are areas that the children I tutor, struggle with.

Each child and tutoring session is different, certain Brain Gym® exercises help the majority of my students reduce their frustrations and regain their focus.  Many of the children have a hard time breaking words down phonetically, so when they are reading they have to concentrate extra hard and that can be difficult for them, especially after a full day at school.  By inserting just a few minutes of Brain Gym®, such as The Thinking Cap or Brain Buttons, my students are able to regroup and then successfully complete the task at hand.  Plus, they ALL find the exercises fun!  The more active ones, like The Cross Crawl, provides a break from the usual learning position of sitting and sometimes that’s all it takes for us to continue.

I have gained new skills from the Brain Gym® 101 workshop professionally as a tutor and on a personal level as well.  I have always wanted to meditate and have tried different methods, but could not find anything that motivated me enough to actually stick to it for more than a short period of time.  PACE (a sequence of Brain Gym® movements) as well as other movements from the Brain Gym® menu have provided me with a way to accomplish what I was looking for in meditation and in such a manner that it is now integrated into my daily life.  I love the versatility of it.

I highly recommend the course. Jill, the facilitator set up the environment so that everyone felt comfortable in sharing.  There were lots of real life examples and I was able to identify with what was said and learn from the ideas that were brainstormed as a group. Everything from the facilitator, participants, learning opportunities, and course content, made it a weekend to remember. "
