From the reviews
Since joining Body & Brain several months ago my vitality, posture and coordination have all undergone marked improvement. I’m beginning to experience life’s energy in a new and deeply personal way. As a vocalist, I’ve found new exciting connections to my own voice.
I have been enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of Wyckoff Body & Brain since 2014. I find the yoga and tai-chi classes are both challenging and fun. The trainers are skilled at making sure people of all levels have a great experience.
I began taking classes at Wyckoff Body & Brain at the suggestion of my wife. I was seeking a way to become healthier and find relief from daily stresses. The classes were a good match for me, and I began practicing in 2010.
I have been a member at Wyckoff Body & Brain since 2005. I came to the Center complaining of overall stiffness; chronic neck, shoulder and lower back pain. In addition, I suffered from a form of IBD, which was very uncomfortable.
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.
