Certified instruction — reviews and the studio's own info point to a recognized tai chi program or lineage (think Tai Chi for Health / Dr. Paul Lam, the Taoist Tai Chi Society, or a named family-style teacher). If credentials matter to you, ask which program the instructor is certified in and which style they teach.

From the reviews
I started at Brain & Body Scottsdale about 2 months ago. It has helped me tremendously to reduce stress and practice self-love. Master Terri is very warm, kind and compassionate. She is a true healer and is great at guiding you along your journey to better health and wellness.
Body and Brain Scottsdale has changed my life….many awakenings and discoveries! I was seeking a meditation class and realized I had much inner work to do on myself first which has led to a life long growing experience. Finding true self is a life long journey and energy healing is everything….kamsamnida Master Junghee
I have gone to a number of different fitness and wellbeing centers. By far, Body&Brain stands out as the best. It is unique because it focuses the connection of all of your body areas using a combination of techniques that challenge, stretch, and soothe.
I have been going to Body Brain Yoga Tai Chi since 2019. Absolutely love it! Started in Illinois and have been attending Scottsdale since relocating. Annabelle is an amazing teacher and makes every class unique and wonderful! Master Jang’s classes are extremely challenging and his knowledge is impressive.
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.
