Advanced Edu-Kinesthetics - In Depth
The Seven Dimensions of Learning & Intelligence
From the time of conception, a child’s nervous system goes through a series of specific stages of development. Emotional, environmental, biochemical, structural, and/or academic stress can inhibit the effective completion of these key developmental processes. For adults, chronic stress or tension is one clue that developmental skills are incomplete. Edu-K balances create immediate and lasting changes by actually building neurological bridges and pathways within the brain and body that assist in the completion of developmental processes.
This 4-day training builds from Brain Gym® with a simple yet comprehensive approach to learning that respects the individual’s integrity while creating positive change from a causative level. In an experiential and personally transformative context, you will learn and practice theory and methods for one-on-one educational consulting. Useful innovative techniques, lucid enjoyable demonstrations, daily guided practice time and a relaxed atmosphere offer you a truly unique experience that applies directly to both your personal and professional life & development.

Brain Gym for Enhancing Learning
Brain Gym is renowned for its powerful impact on specific academic skills and the learning process in general. Brain Gym’s effectiveness is not a mystery-as we move, we activate our brains. A fully activated brain is the foundation for successful learning experiences. In this experiential class, you will learn PACE, a quick sequence of movements to establish a physiological baseline for integrated learning. You will also experience a sampling of Brain Gym exercises that you can continue to use to improve your or someone else’s learning.
Brain Gym for Personal Growth
Brain Gym® is a profound tool for activating and accelerating your personal growth. You will experience a sampling of the Brain Gym® exercises in the context of the goal of opening more fully to your growth. If you are stuck in any area of your life or feeling that your life is stagnant, the integrative movements within the Brain Gym® program will assist you in moving forward. Lack of movement in life always has a brain-body correlate. When we address the brain and body’s need for integration, we are able to perceive new options and take action with greater ease.
Getting Balanced from the Inside-Out
The goal inherent in our quest for wholeness is balance in all areas of our lives. Ultimately we cannot achieve or sustain balance by addressing externals only. Balance is an internal phenomenon that naturally extends externally. On a physiological level, balance is a by-product of a fully activated and integrated brain and body. We will use Brain Gym and In Depth Edu-K techniques, in the context of a process called a Balance, to assist you in developing a new level of brain-body integration. Working with shared group goals that reflect the development needs and interests of the group, we will do one or more Balances to support you in finding flow and ease, the hallmarks of balance, in your life. Optional goals may be related to relationships, finances, careers, child-rearing etc. Come prepared to grow!

Total Core Repatterning
Total Core Repatterning (TCR) takes the Dennison Laterality Repatterning process to a whole new level. TCR works at and with the core of the body to affect a deep and sustained level of integration. The core of the body corresponds with the core self. TCR deals with issues at their core. In this class you will learn three new and important in-depth prechecks relating to the tonic neck reflex (symmetrical and asymmetrical tonic reflexes) and the TMJ. You will also learn several forms of TCR: the 14 muscle repatterning process and the 42 muscle repatterning process including the Cross-Crawl-Homolateral Crawl Repatterning and the Core Procedure. The Edu-K In-depth class is a prerequisite.
