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
I've been attending body&brain for around nine months. The instructors are incredibly supportive and always ready to help with any questions. They genuinely care about your progress, whether you're seeking spiritual growth, physical healing, or mental well-being. I highly recommend.
I wanted to share that I have had an incredible experience recently with mind body energy/chi training at the CGI Body & Brain center in my new town. I am so grateful for all the teachers/healers there who have inspired and hugged me and especially Master Marnie who has been a Mentor/teacher/healer and Master Jae for…
My experience so far with Body and Brain Education at CGI (both on Zoom and in person) has been truly life-changing. Through the practice and with the guidance of the masters I've grown so much more connected to and attentive of my body, aware of and able to manage my emotions, and most of all through this work so…
I’m not someone who typically shares publicly. However I was so moved by my healing experience at CGI Closter that I had to share. I had a healing session with Master Sarah which was transcendent. I’ve never had body work like what Master Sarah did. I left the facility buzzing in the best sense of the word.
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.
