Educational Kinesiology

The word education comes from the Latin word educare which means to ‘draw out’. Kinesiology, derived from the Greek root kinesis, means ‘motion’ and is the study of the movement of the human body. Educational Kinesiology is therefore a system for empowering learners of any age by using movement activities to draw on hidden potential and make it readily available. Kinesiology harnesses this power of body movement and the associated neurological stimulus to allow the left and right brain to work simultaneously.

​

Whole brain learning, through movement repatterning and brain gym activities enable children/ adults to access those parts of the brain previously inaccessible to them. The changes in learning and behaviour are sometimes immediate and always profound, as people discover how to receive information and express themselves simultaneously.

​

Brain gym is a series of simple and enjoyable movements to enhance the child’s experience of whole brain learning. These activities make all types of learning easier and are especially effective with academic skills.
