Our Teachings
Building Block Activities
A one-day workshop that offers an in-depth look at some basic patterns of neurological and motor development and is a good basis for further training in reflex integration such as Brain Gym® or rhythmic movement training with RMTi. The movements and activities that are taught are called “Building Block Activities.” It is open to all parents, caregivers, teachers and therapists. (No pre-requisites.)
Brain Gym® For Special Needs Providers
A four-day workshop that teaches safe, simple and effective movement activities that invite people of ALL abilities to meet their greatest potential. It can be part of the licensing process for those who are studying for their license to become a Brain Gym® Instructor/Consultant, or it can be taken as a stand-alone course and used in a private therapeutic setting or classroom. (No pre-requisites.)
Teacher Training
Content for teaching the workshops is provided by taking the Brain Gym® 170 and/or the Movement Based Learning’s Building Block Activities workshops. Once you are established, your only limitations are: your ability to market the program and meet the conditions to maintain your license. Cecilia offers support on a 1-1 consulting basis and will guide you in ways that you can deepen what you do.
