From the reviews
After joining Body and Brain about a year ago, I have seen tremendous change in my body. Master dounim's classes have helped me relax as well as improve my flexibility and much more! Master dounim makes his yoga classes challenging.
Amazing! This is my experience at Body and Brain. I feel transformed after each class I participate in. My strength has drastically improved as well as feeling relaxed and happy. I am so grateful for the team at Body and Brain. They truly care about your progress.
An arm injury left me with limited mobility two years ago, after a lot of physical therapy I felt like I needed to regain more flexibility. I joined Body and Brain yoga just for this purpose, now I feel more flexible, mobile and I’ve been sleeping better. I recommend this program 10/10.
I did the Finding True Self workshop at the ABQ Center this weekend and it was incredible!! I went in for yoga and tai chi to reduce stress, because my job can be very stressful. What they teach is truly amazing.
New to tai chi? Start at Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi
Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
