Superbrain Yoga

November 2, 2015 by Julie Lusk

Superbrain Yoga® is great for anyone interested in improving mental energy, concentration, memory, and enjoying a mind that’s sharp and clear. It’s helpful for all students, adults who want to be at the top of their game, and seniors. A bonus is that it strengthens your legs too. BTW, this really has been practiced in India for ages and goes by the Sanskrit name of Thoppukaranam.

Superbrain Yoga® is a simple and effective technique to energize and recharge the brain. It is based on the principles of subtle energy and ear acupuncture. This powerful technique is explained in Master Choa Kok Sui’s latest book Superbrain Yoga®. According to Master Choa Kok Sui these teachings are very ancient and have been practiced in India for many centuries.

A great way to practice is to put on some fun music that lasts 3 minutes. One of my favorites is “Good Rain” by Trevor Hall. Tell us what songs you like in the comments.

Pilot studies on the effects of Superbrain Yoga® on school children include children with disabilities such as ADHD/ADD, developmental and cognitive delays, Down syndrome and specific learning disabilities. Children studied showed significant increase in academic and behavioral performance, greater class participation and improved social skills. In one study, the result of an electroencephalograph showed increased amplitude in the parieto-occipital region of the brain following the Superbrain Yoga®. This indicates increased brain electrical activity following the exercise. More studies on the effects of Superbrain Yoga® are being conducted.

These kids do a great job giving you Superbrain Yoga instructions in this 2-minute video.
