From the reviews
I strongly recommend Brain and Body Yoga. I have been a member for about 3 years now. I initially joined just to get in better shape and lose some weight. I met these initial goals in my first 4 to 6 months. In that time I also realized that I had found a place with so much more.
I love coming here whenever I can . The Taichi class , yoga classes are amazing . Our teachers are dedicated and very well trained in the different practices! It's special !
I love this yoga a studio which is so much more than just yoga!! I have been a member now for a year and a half and I find myself totally hooked on it!! I come 3-4 times a week and really miss it when I'm away. The Masters are extremely encouraging, knowledgeable, warm and kind.
I will never forget the day I first met some of the BR region Masters ( Master Christine, Master Jo , Master Arthur and volunteer staff!) at the awaken fair for an aura reading and chair massage. Automatically you feel a wave of welcoming, humble, loving energy emitting from them right away.
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.
