This fully accredited 16 hour workshop will wake up and expand your ability to think more clearly, co-ordinate your brain and body together, improve your memory, improve your ability to focus, and concentrate, and, most of all, release physical, mental and emotional stress in your life.  In this workshop we will explore how our senses are related to our vestibular system and how this affects learning.  You will learn how Brain Gym® and the Balance Board work together to enhance the Brain Gym® exercises and nine new educational games.  Discover how to achieve your potential with simple and effective tools that are fun and rewarding.
