"The more closely we consider the elaborate interplay of brain and body, the more clearly one compelling theme emerges; movement is essential to learning. Movement awakens and activates many of our mental capacities. Movement integrates and anchors new information and experience into our neural networks." - Excerpt from: Smart Moves - Why Learning Is Not All In Your Head Carla Hannaford, Ph.D. Neurophysiologist and educator.
