From the reviews
I started going to Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi seven or eight months ago and love it! The sense of community is strong with people of all walks of life attending and learning right beside me. The Head of the Center, Master Kim is friendly, skilled, knowledgeable, caring and always has us focused in a lighthearted way.
I was led to body and brain yoga after a recent back issue that put me in a place of immobility and a lot of pain. What I love about this space is that Master Kim makes each and every class a surprise. He is always switching it up and making it FUN.
An amazing place and environment! I just give me my own present for my birthday with one class and when I finished I payed for the whole year! Master Kim, the Yoga teacher and the Thai chi teacher are so nice, professional and encouraging to learn about the techniques in order to apply for your daily routine!
This is the great opportunity to come and work on your body and mind. The classes are always interesting, fun and educational. You leave feeling relaxed, inspired and happy. Master Kim is very knowledgeable instructor and provides very unique approach to everybody. I love coming here and would recommend it to anyone!
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.
