    The Founders of Edu-K and Brain Gym®

    "We see each individual as a unique, growing, good person who will learn when given the needed tools and a nurturing environment. Our aim is to support our students in developing integrated sensory channels, so that they may learn to function with whole brains, as whole individuals."

    - Paul E. Dennison, Ph.D.

    Educational Kinesiology - enhanced learning through movement - was created by Dr. Paul E. Dennison and Gail E. Dennison through their extensive research in areas that include education, brain function, psychology, and applied kinesiology. The Dennisons' visionary insight into the learning process led them to develop the unique approaches to education now known as Edu-K and Brain Gym - tools used to integrate the mind and body through movement.

    Based on his understanding of the interdependence of physical development, language acquisition, and academic achievement, Paul Dennison early on devised simple yet powerful activities to enhance learning. Today these techniques, which Paul continues to develop in partnership with his wife Gail, are taught in a variety of settings, including schools, corporations, and athletic training programs. The Dennisons' contributions to the field of educational science are far-reaching, and have served to transform the lives of learners around the planet.

    The Dennisons have coauthored a series of books and manuals on Edu-K, and their enthusiasm for learning is apparent in their writings. Gail has provided illustrations for the exercises that capture the heart of Educational Kinesiology. She has developed an innovative program for natural vision improvement, the Visioncircles course, which uses playful Vision Gym TM activities to address developmental vision and perceptual growth. Gail is also the originator and editor of the Brain Gym Journal, a publication of the Educational Kinesiology Foundation in Ventura, California.

    Together, Paul and Gail Dennison founded the Educational Kinesiology Foundation, a nonprofit public benefit corporation established to provide access to learning theories, experiential training, and instructor-certification programs. The Dennisons' books and manuals explaining the benefits of Edu-K's applied principles are offered through Edu-Kinesthetics, Inc.
