Our exercises aim to induce a state of ’relaxed alertness’ – the optimum frame of mind for easy learning and memory retention (also known as ‘the alpha state’ or ‘the zone’). YogaBellies exercises encourage the creation of new neural pathways and connections between the two hemispheres of the brain. In layman’s terms, we reach the parts other activities cannot reach! Yoga postures have been shown to improve grades by 18% after only one application. Meditation improves concentration and memory skills.
