From the reviews
I highly recommend body and brain. For me it’s been a life changing. I used to suffer from depression and anxiety. It’s been couple year I don’t take any meditation and I feel better mentally and physically. I feel more secure about myself and when I take any decision. Thank you 😊
Highly recommended!! I have tried different yoga programs and this is by far the most rewarding. Brain & Body offers a unique, professional and personalized yoga experience.
Where do I begin? I read an article about B&B after hearing about it from my sister in LA. For more info I dialed the Riverwakk # in article. I was welcomed as if I was there in person even though on Zoom from Santa Barbara.
My husband and I tried Brain & Body Tai Chi in Lawrence for the first time and absolutely loved it. The class was welcoming, relaxing, and such a great way to stretch out tight muscles after a long week. We left feeling calmer, looser, and genuinely refreshed.
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.
