From the reviews
I love coming to classes at Namoo Yoga. Beautiful and peaceful center, helpful, kind and friendly staff always make my day brighter. I became more flexible, have better sleep, reduced stress and my anxiety gotten better. I have had also energy healing sessions over the summer and it was an amazing experience.
Despite my longtime skepticism of yoga’s benefits, I joined Namoo Yoga for the first time on the last week of 2016, hoping to ease the chronic back pain I’ve have for years. Within 2.5 months, 5 hours/week , I can function much better without the ugly nagging pain, have a better posture, and feel stronger.
I highly recommend this yoga place , Jason the instructor was the best he helped me a lot with my anxiety, I’ve been going there for over 3 yrs now and it really helped me a lot after long day and stress from work . You will have a peace of mind and very relaxing feeling after the session.
I joined the Centreville studio in March of 2011, and as I said in class so many times, it was one of the best things I ever did for myself. When I joined, I was, for many reasons, overwhelmed with anxiety and knew I needed guidance to get back on a path to peace and happiness.
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.
