From the reviews
I have spent the past 2 years with 2 padded vertebra and was unable to see any progress for that entire time period. Walking was painful, breathing at times was painful, nearly every moment of every day was marred by some kind of pain.
Body & Brain Yoga has been part of my daily routine for the past 16 months (and counting!). This daily practice has helped me stay healthy and take better care of both body and mind. I can’t thank the masters and instructors enough — Mokhwa, Sandy, Lauren, Lloyd, and especially Soa — for their guidance and support.
Body & Brain is unique from any other yoga class I have attended. After two months of classes, my flexibility, energy, and overall feeling of wellness have improved. The instructors and class members are very positive and encouraging. I always leave class feeling both relaxed and energized for the rest of my day.
Let's be honest, right now with all these new changes in the world, life can make you feel tired, overwhelmed, confused, and even feel lonely. Our body and brain is charged with a lot of pollution(news, situations in life) from the outside. Yes, you are not alone, I am here, too.
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.
