Place your index and thumb into the slight indentations below the collar bone on each side of the sternum.

Having students drink some water before and during class can help "grease the wheel". Introduced here, you will find four basic "Brain Gym" exercises which implement the ideas developed in "Smart Moves" and can be used quickly in any classroom. Many educators have found this work quite helpful in improving overall concentration in class. Every nerve and cell is a network contributing to our intelligence and our learning capability. Hannaford states that our bodies are very much a part of all our learning, and learning is not an isolated "brain" function. In her best selling book "Smart Moves", Dr.
is a neurophysiologist and educator with more than 28 years of teaching experience. These simple exercises are based on the work presented by Carla Hannaford, Ph.D. *** Your Title Here *** Brain Gym Exercises
