Last week I had the pleasure of teaching brain gym to a lovely group of yoga teachers, therapists, and parents. We are doing the brain gym course over many weeks, which gives us a chance to really understand how to use brain gym from the inside out.
One of the yoga instructors, who is a runner, shared that she used to run long distances but always struggled to get her pace under 9 minutes.
This week she was doing a brain gym sequence called PACE everyday and and a few others as they felt appropriate.
She said that when she went for a run after doing some brain gym, she had run 8 miles with her time at 6 minutes45 seconds a mile!
The thing that struck her was that she made such great time but she didn't feel like she was working harder.
The reason for this is because when you stimulate the brain with brain gym, the muscles all move and work in a coordinated way.
Even when you are good at the task, whether it be running or any other sport, there is less resistance within your body for moving forward.
What a cool outcome!
What do you love to do that you would like to make even more effortless?
What athletic activity would you like to take to the next level?
