From the reviews
I've been attending classes at Body and Brain Yoga and Tai Chi regularly, and it's been a fantastic experience for me. Each session leaves me feeling both energized and deeply relaxed. The instructors are excellent, and the environment is always welcoming and supportive.
I’ve been attending sessions at Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi in Blossom Hill, San Jose, and I can honestly say it’s been an amazing experience. Every time I finish a class, I feel lighter, more centered, and full of positive energy.
I picked Body and Brain Yoga randomly while browsing for a yoga class 16 months ago and it was the best decision I ever made! I have never been flexible (my fingers could barely go past my knees when trying to touch my toes) but now 16 months later my fingers go beyond my toes and touch the floor and I can hold poses…
Absolutely love this place! All the sensei/instructors are wonderful, caring and compassionate as well as passionate and accomplished in their teaching. I've done all types of yoga previously, this style from Korea was new to me.
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.
