Bags, Balls, and Brains "Crossing over the Midline"

Bags, Balls and Brains is a sensory motor integration program which enhances brain function through rhythmic movement patterns. Participants benefit physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. These activities integrate the whole body-mind system bringing mental fitness, physical coordination, social awareness and self-esteem. We have fun and feel great at the end of each session.

Repetition of the rhythmic bag and ball patterns integrates the senses -- auditory, visual, kinesthetic, tactile and fine motor skills. This whole brain learning approach creatively combines Bal-A-Vis-X®, Brain Gym® and Learning Breakthrough Program activities. Learning challenges are met through reflex integration and supported by BodyMind Centering® explorations enhancing awareness and presence.

Instructors Shirley and Linda have extensive backgrounds and experience in the fields of education and movement. They deftly weave together all of their multi-faceted past trainings and experiences.

My mom and I have taken this class (level for less-mobile seniors) many times. It is a lot of fun and really helps with Mom's mental functioning and activity level. I noticed an almost immediate improvement in both when we started, and the techniques helped her climb out of a severe fever dementia episode. Check out their site. Will shoot and post more class and demo videos soon. -- Carol (the "filmmaker."
