Miracle of refreshing your nervous system through Brain Gym
When Skye was little she attended a small private school in Santa Fe called Tara, run by two incredibly visionary women. Janet and Rosemary began every day with circle time in which parents could participate followed by a few minutes of Brain Gym to calm the nervous system of each child and prepare their brains to calmly focus on learning.
BRAIN GYM replicates the movements you learn in the first year of life to connect the right and left brain hemispheres, improving focus, concentration and learning.
