From the reviews
I went to try the Tai Chi. Took an introductory class and then signed up for a month of unlimited access to on site and online classes. As I had a medical background, I knew the benefits of Eastern body and mind knowledge and the connections to Western health and exercise activities.
I joined body and brain approximately two years ago. it was one of best decisions I have made. A few months after I joined, I could notice that I was more flexible, my tennis game improved dramatically and I was more at peace and calmer and happier as a person.
I've been to Westmont Body & Brain a handful of times and had nothing short of an exceptional experience. I've had different instructors every time and can honestly say they are so kind, motivating, and truly knpw what they were doing.
I had no idea that I was about to embark on the best thing that I had ever done for myself! I have struggled with chronic illness for all of my life and felt it was time to do something before my illnesses got to the point that I would no longer be able to function. I saw results quickly.
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.
