Sonya’s background in science, and a lifelong interest in the brain and learning, led her to research, study, and then successfully homeschool her dyslexic children from JK through High School to University.  She has always firmly believed in the importance of movement to learning, and Brain Gym® gave her the structure and tools to more effectively understand and deliberately develop that link with focus on specific goals.  She now teaches Brain Gym® so others can use movement to discover their innate intelligence and explore new ways of thinking and learning.   Sonya also privately tutors students with reading challenges, incorporating Brain Gym® with Fast ForWord® and other proven techniques to develop fluent readers.

    Brain Gym 101

    5 April 2025 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm EDT BG101
    Zoom zoom.us

    Brain Gym 101 is the foundational course for Brain Gym. You will learn the 26 core movements of Brain Gym in the context of what we call a balance. The five step balance process is a method for using specific movements to support a particular goal. It is an experiential course, so we will actually be doing the movements and balances so that each person can feel the shifts and changes in their skills as we work. The purpose of the course is to be able to use the 26 Brain Gym movements and their variations, to develop the skill of “drawing out” innate abilities, and to understand and experience the three dimensions of learning:
    a. To focus in a relaxed manner
    b. To organize movements and maintain balance (physical and emotional)
    c. To understand how an integrated state permits whole brain learning, coordination, and communication
