Help mature adults live longer, healthier, happier lives.
Ageless Grace is a revolutionary brain fitness program taught in 50 states and more than 30 countries, and over 3600 Educators have been certified to teach. The program consists of 21 simple exercise tools designed for all ages and abilities. These exercises, based on everyday movements that are natural and organic, focus on the healthy longevity of the body and brain.
By practicing Ageless Grace for 10 minutes every day, you can improve your brain health. Ideally, Ageless Grace is a preventative measure, but if the signs of cognitive decline are beginning to appear, this program can improve your symptoms.
Because Ageless Grace is performed in a chair to engage the brain, almost anyone can participate.
How does Ageless Grace work?
First, a definition:
Neuroplasticity: also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is a process that involves adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain. A good definition is “the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections.” (National Institute of Health)
So what does that mean?
It means that we are very fortunate. Our brains are flexible. They can form new neural connections as we attempt new things. This is especially true when we learn with our bodies – riding a bike, throwing a ball, skipping rope.
Ageless Grace works by re-opening the neural pathways created from the time you were born until approximately the age of 21. As a child, you developed functional and cognitive skills through typical childhood games, sports, and activities that you no longer practice as an adult. Our brain fitness program re-opens those pathways and, equally important, creates new ones by practicing functional movements we don’t already know how to do.
Ageless Grace activates all 5 functions of the brain:
Strategic Planning
Memory and Recall
Analytical Thinking
Creativity and Imagination
Kinesthetic Learning
SMACK! We like to think of that as the sound of the neurons firing in the brain when we attempt to do something new.
