Discover the Power of Movement and Learning
At Flow University, we blend the transformative power of somatic practices with our unique educational philosophy. Our approach is designed to enhance academic growth by simultaneously improving neuromuscular patterns, making it ideal for a wide range of individuals.
Our Vision: To create a space where learning meets physical well-being, cultivating a community that values physical harmony, mental clarity and emotional balance.
Understanding Somatic Learning
Somatic learning is an innovative approach to education that focuses on the body as well as the mind. It involves learning through physical movement, heightening body awareness, and engaging the senses. This method helps individuals connect more deeply with their physical selves, leading to improved mental agility, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. At Flow University, somatic learning is not just about movement; it’s about integrating these movements with cognitive processes to create an empowered holistic learning experience.
The Power of Neuroplasticity in Learning
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize and adapt. It's the foundation of learning and development throughout our lives. In the context of somatic learning, neuroplasticity plays a crucial role. When we learn through movement, we create new neural pathways and reinforce existing ones, enhancing our ability to learn, think, and adapt. This process is central to our approach at Flow University, where we leverage the power of neuroplasticity through movement to optimize learning, improve mobility, and elevate overall cognitive function.
