From the reviews
I have been practicing at the Marietta Center for 9 months now. Admittedly, I was super overwhelmed the first time I met Master O, because you just don't meet people with her energy very often haha. However, I feel so grateful for her guidance. Master O is nothing less than spectacular.
Body and Brain Yoga was recommended to me by a best friend based on her health enhancing experiences. I researched and found that Yoga does have scientific evidence of benefits for women in their mid-80’s in the areas of health I want to move into.
I've been attending weekly classes and multiple workshops at Body and Brain since October, and the impact on my life has been profound. The practice has helped me not only physically, but also emotionally and mentally.
I joined Brain and Body practice 5 months ago and in this short span of time, as I continue to grow in my practice, I find that my stress level has improved significantly. The stresses of everyday life are still there, however, my positive coping skills have flourished!
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.
