Your learning, your rules
Making education our top priority
The Science of Learning
Movement enhances learning by activating brain regions tied to focus, memory, and emotional regulation.
Research shows that even brief physical activity before a lesson can improve attention and memory, while movement during instruction helps encode learning more deeply.
Active Learning
Action Based Learning equips educators with a diverse toolkit of strategies designed to support all learning styles. By integrating purposeful movement into instruction, teachers can elevate student engagement, foster joy in the learning process, and create a more inclusive and dynamic classroom environment.
The Link between movement and learning
Movement is a vital component of brain development and learning. Physical activity stimulates neural pathways that support attention, memory, and emotional regulation—key functions for academic success. In the classroom, integrating purposeful movement not only boosts engagement but also strengthens the brain’s capacity to process and retain information.

TESTIMONIALS
Don't just take our word for it
Enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people. Your breakout presenters were fabulous. I loved getting to see more content being used with movement and how to incorporate this in my subject area.
I was INCREDIBLY happy with the mindfulness and calming ideas, but more importantly the presentation and background info provided by Laura. She’s a kind and engaging presenter!
This training was truly more than I expected especially in day 1. I have truly enjoyed learning the science and research behind the brain and how essential it is to our everyday lives!
