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.
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.

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.
Harald Blomberg is a psychiatrist by profession. In 1984,
Kerstin Linde developed Rhythmic Movements and Dr. Blomberg
studied the science behind her work. For the last 14 years,
he has worked in private practice, with adult patients using
Rhythmic Movements along with other movement oriented programs.
He has worked for over ten years as a psychiatric consultant
at a Rudolf Steiner approach special school for youths who
are developmentally delayed, autistic or with severe ADD.
