Tai chi studio Certified Beginners welcome Qigong Private lessons Online classes

Certified instruction — reviews and the studio's own info point to a recognized tai chi program or lineage (think Tai Chi for Health / Dr. Paul Lam, the Taoist Tai Chi Society, or a named family-style teacher). If credentials matter to you, ask which program the instructor is certified in and which style they teach.

From the reviews

Body and Brain Yoga Tai Chi has truly changed my life for the better. Since joining the burbank studio seven months ago, I have noticed a significant improvement in my physical health, mental well-being, and overall happiness.

★★★★★ — Charlie, Mar 2023

I joined Body and Brain gym in Burbank about 18 months ago. I love the classes there. Started taking only 1 class a week, jumped to 2 about 3 months later and now going to 3 classes every week, sometimes to 4.

★★★★★ — Gideon, Jul 2023

Sunny is an amazing yoga master, but also an expert in providing healing sessions. Her sessions are highly effective and deeply transformative, helping her clients to release blockages and cultivate greater well-being.

★★★★★ — Liana, Apr 2023

I've been working-out at Body & Brain for about a year now. I learned about Body & Brain from my fitness trainer, she shared with me that she was taking a Tai Chi class in Burbank. I've been wanting to experience Tai Chi for a very long time and was surprised to find a place locally. I personally love this class.

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.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
