From the reviews

I have been a member of the Lynbrook Body & Brain Center for 6 months now, and have seen a vast improvement in my flexibility and stamina. Master Rose is wonderful, and is able to get me to push myself beyond where I would on my own. We exercise every conceivable part of the body.

Although I attended classes many years ago, I wanted to write a review. This practice helped me to recover from a very serious operation. After one class I felt lighter. After two classes I felt more limber. After three classes, I had so much energy, awareness and improved flexibility, that it became addictive.

I am very happy I found Body & Brain in Lynbrook. I have become more calm, centered and my asthma has gotten so much better. My body is stronger and I have more energy. I eat healthier and fill fuller. This is not your typical Yoga class. Dahn Yoga works giving you more energy clearer mind and so much more.

Healing…. If I could use one word to describe the center, it would be that. Master Hwanhari and the amazing people at the center have become my community. I am grateful for the transformative experience. It has changed the way I view myself and as a result the world. I highly recommend Body Brain Tai Chi of Lynbrook!

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.
