Press Release Summary = Physical movement and exercise can be instrumental in
enhancing learning. The Brain Gym and Me Program makes learning fun again with its
unique exercises and proven results.

Press Release Body = Using physical movement to enhance learning may be a foreign
concept to many readers today, but for over 30 years, Dr. Paul E. Dennison has
studied the effects of specific activities in his learning disability clinics. The
movements that Dennison has researched and simplified into usable techniques are the
subject of his new book, Brain Gym and Me: Reclaiming the Pleasure of Learning (ISBN
978-0942143119, Edu-Kinesthetics, Inc., 2006).

The Brain Gym® program is actually just one slice of an entirely new field of study
on the learning process that Dennison and his wife, Gail, have developed:
Educational Kinesiology. Educational Kinesiology is a comprehensive science and
language of movement as it relates to learning; the Brain Gym® program is a physical
exercise program comprised of movements that have been found effective to activate
and build new neural pathways for improved cognitive readiness and academic
performance. Dennison\'s groundbreaking work in movement-based learning has been
internationally recognized with numerous honors, including the Reading Excellence
through the Arts Award in association with the International Reading Association.

The Brain Gym® program is easy enough for children to take part in, and has also
yielded successful results with those who have specific learning disabilities, such
as ADHD. In fact, Brain Gym and Me shares Dennison\'s own story of overcoming
learning challenges at a young age; he failed the fourth grade because he wasn\'t
reading. \"I have dedicated my career to helping students like myself to never have
to endure the \'shame of not learning at the same pace as other children,\" says
Dennison.

Brain Gym and Me provides a step-by-step guide to maximizing one\'s learning
potential through safe, simple, enjoyable movements; it also speaks to the success
of the Brain Gym® program through numerous discussions of real life case studies and
stories. Dennison has taught workshops on movement-based learning in more than 15
countries in a variety of settings including schools, corporations and athletic
programs.

Students of the Brain Gym® program report significant changes within one to six
weeks, says Dennison. The hardest part is how easy it is. These are safe, natural
movements that work. Just do them, the results will speak for themselves.
