Annika Russo
Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(117)
Just the tips and tricks. No music. No dancing. Chair-based brain breaks use movement to energize and empower students, decrease stress levels, and improve coordination of the nervous system for optimal learning, focus, and integration.
Class experience
Wake Your Brain uses movement to energize and empower students, decrease stress levels, and improve coordination of the nervous system for optimal learning, focus, and integration. All the neuro-exercises can be performed in a chair or wheelchair with limited mobility. This course was designed for bigger kiddos who need a quick brain break, but can't find something suitable on YouTube. This course used no music and no dancing, but used science-based, seated exercises to Wake Your Brain during...
Students will learn basic, chair-based exercises they can use when their brain is feeling "foggy" to wake up and keep learning effectively and efficiently.
Ms Annika is a physical therapist who specializes in adapting movement patterns to individual students' needs. With more and more on-line learning being utilized in education today, students can easily get distracted and overloaded, minimizing the actual learning happening in front of a screen. This program uses neurologic principles in movement science to enhance learning-- especially digital learning.
You just need a little bit of space and an open mind to try new things. If your mobility is more limited, you may need a helper to get your blood pumping and your brain communicating! We'll work together to maximize your workout!
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Learners will need to be able to push their chair away from the desk safely and balance on the edge of the chair without it tipping. Please check your chair before registering and get a stable, sturdy chair for this class. We don't want anyone falling out of the chair! If you are hoping for a class that gets students up and moving, try a regular Wake-Your Brain class. Those classes are set to music move around the space. Regardless of standing or sitting, these techniques are appropriate for all ages of learners. These techniques work for grown-ups, too!!
