From the reviews

I started my practice with Master D’vusha about 5 years ago. It’s been such a joyful ride, where do I start? Master D’vusha’s classes are usually in a small group yet quite personal. Every class she gives a whole hour of energy meditation with all types of body work out. They are conducted in beautiful music and rhyme.

★★★★★ — Jane, Sep 2024

I went through 2 pregnancies while practicing yoga with Dvusha. I found that I have increased energy and I always leave happy after a class. After a long day of work, going to class makes me relaxed and temporarily forget what I have in my busy mind.

★★★★★ — Samson, Oct 2024

Great place to do Yoga. My family notice that after my class I’m very happy and have a lot of energy. Master D’vusha always encourages me to do my best. I find doing my best there is easier to maintain my strength and my concentration during the day especially at work.

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.
