(stress) Movement is the door to learning. (de-stress) Brain Gym activities are part of a personal program for achieving personal goals. Individuals set goals and express these in whole brain language. The Balanced learning state allows the learner to clearly see the learning road ahead and move easily between low and high gear learning states as necessary.
