Course Description
In today’s fast-paced classrooms, both teachers and students face the same challenge — maintaining focus, energy, and motivation in the face of constant stimulation and stress. The Erasmus experience brings new perspectives and teaching methods, but also the risk of burnout and fatigue.
Our Brain Gym and Mindful Wellness Course offers a practical, evidence-based toolkit to help educators restore balance, energy, and enthusiasm — both personally and professionally.
This innovative training combines Brain Gym techniques, Mindfulness practices, and Therapeutic Art into a holistic system for recharging the classroom. Participants will learn simple yet powerful movement-based strategies that activate the brain, improve concentration, and reduce stress — turning every lesson into an active, engaged learning experience.

THE BLUEPRINT FOR ENERGY AND COGNITIVE FLOW
The foundation of this course lies in Super Brain Yoga and Energization Exercises — two dynamic approaches to kinetic learning.
Super Brain Yoga is a scientifically validated exercise that harmonizes the left and right hemispheres of the brain, improving focus, memory, and clarity. Complementing it, short and playful Energization exercises boost oxygen flow to the brain, sharpen attention, and eliminate fatigue — the perfect remedy for the mid-morning slump.
Teachers will experience firsthand how these techniques awaken the mind and body, creating a classroom atmosphere filled with energy and curiosity.

FORTIFYING RESILIENCE THROUGH MINDFULNESS
A motivated classroom begins with a calm, centered educator.
In this module, participants explore Mindfulness and stress regulation strategies designed specifically for busy classrooms. These short, accessible techniques help both teachers and students manage emotions, stay present, and transform stress into self-regulation and focus.
By mastering these practices, teachers will lower their own stress levels while fostering emotional resilience in their students — an invaluable life skill that supports learning far beyond academic success.

THE HOLISTIC CONNECTION: THERAPEUTIC ART
To maintain long-term well-being and engagement, learning must also connect to personal experience.
Our Therapeutic Art module offers creative, hands-on activities that allow emotional expression and reflection through drawing, color, and movement. This process enhances emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and creativity, helping students express feelings that words sometimes struggle to capture.
These methods are particularly effective in inclusive classrooms and cross-cultural settings, fostering empathy and openness among learners from diverse backgrounds.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply Brain Gym movements to enhance focus, memory, and readiness to learn.
