Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi Reviews

Passive aggressive instructors. Will harass, stalk, give misinformation and create a hostile environment for someone for the right price. If you’re seeking to make someone uncomfortable and give them trauma, this is the right place! Everyone will be in on it and will make sure that person never comes back lol

I went to my Body and Brain class today and felt like the entire class was created for me! The combination of tapping, stretching and intestinal exercises allowed me a deeper awareness of my body’s condition and changes. I could feel ancient stress releasing and felt “I can relax now” in one of our final meditations. Tears flowed as I embraced “being” with nothing to do, held and supported by the earth. I’m so grateful for this deeply integrative experience.

I’ve been a member of Body and Brain in Merrick for about two years now, and I feel younger now than I did when I started. Caring and wonderful people, both participants and instructors. My opinion has only gotten better since I commented below over a year ago. Warm and wonderful practice. As the name says, great for body and brain (and spirit, as well).

I am very grateful that I discovered body and brain yoga many years ago. It is my home away from home where I take care of my body, mind and emotions. The new center in North Merrick is beautiful and the teachers are highly skilled. They modify from all ability levels. I highly recommend.!

I am a long time practitioner and truly feel that I have found a home with Body & Brain. The teachers are supportive and knowledgeable and you can participate at any level . But I have gotten stronger, have achieved greater balance in life and in my body and have developed relationships with wonderful like minded people.

The atmosphere at Body & Brain is terrific, the staff and members are so nice and welcoming. I always leave feeling better and happier than when I walked in. I have a lot of pain in my sciatica and knees and the classes really help me. The health benefits are remarkable, I even started bowling again

I joined brain and body 3 months ago and every class I take I am more amazed at how strong and flexible I am becoming. Physically and mentally. I have become more mindful and right now most importantly I have more confidence in what my body can and cannot do. It’s been amazing ! It’s more than just your typical yoga studio. It’s a community that works with every part of your wellness! Thank you brain and body !

Outstanding class, and Staff! my life has been changed since joining body and brain. I have so much more flexibility, stress is gone and I am so patient. It has helped me so much that I took the initiative and took a six day training and became an outreach instructor. Now I can reach out to others and help them feel just as good as I feel all around. Master Amy and Ilen are two of the most compassionate individuals I have ever met and I owe them so much gratitude. I love this place.

I became a member at Body&Brain almost 10 years ago after fully retiring and realizing my health was declining. Since then, at age 76 my health and wellbeing is better than I ever thought it could be. The instructors are caring and helpful, the centers are clean and welcoming, and all the members are friendly and kind. Perhaps the best part of Body&Brain are the many workshops offered which have helped me to be the best “me” I can be. This practice is not only help for the physical body…it encompasses mind, body and spirit. I highly recommend Body&Brain.

Have tried many local yoga studios before but never felt connected like I do and Body & Brain. Unlike traditional yoga studios, the focus here is on supporting members to really tune into themselves and help them do the work to become happier souls (both physically and emotionally). The team here really cares and it shows. You owe it to yourself to go and check out a free class. It may be just what you’re looking for. I know it was for me!
