I researched area Tai Chi practitioners and booked an initial "tai chi" session with Master Anita…read moreand while she is very sweet and quite gifted, I cannot recommend Body & Brain and feel that an honest review is warranted. Note that I'm a certified and registered yoga teacher (RYT 200) and reiki practitioner (level 2) and have been receiving eastern modalities for over 20 years now. In all that time I have NEVER had an experience like this anywhere. Here's why I've given two stars: - I booked a Tai Chi session online and when I showed up, Anita ended up performing an energy session that resulted in a weak chakra/energy diagnosis and a need for comprehensive healing. The latter is true - I have pain and deal with that daily. Shame on me for allowing myself to get suckered into a package "deal." $3k for 90 days. Yep, you read that correctly. $3k for healing sessions, tai chi classes and workshops to heal me. I have since been refunded $1800 of that because I wised up and realized this place is simply a money pit. They price gouge for healing sessions as the customary rate is $100-$150 for an hour. - Initially, I thought this place was legit but over time that perception changed; it's all about maximizing how much money they can squeeze out of customers vs. taking the time to fully explain service offerings, pricing from the onset and find out the best fit for each person based on their needs, budget, etc. That conversation never happened so shame on them. Shame on me for not asking more questions and standing my ground in the very beginning. - The credentials of their staff are not clear. Are they RYT (registered yoga teacher) certified? No, they aren't. Are they Reiki certified? Not sure. What kind of medical training do they have? Not sure. These things are not transparent on their site. Please ask and don't assume anything as I did. This is important because practicing out of scope is not only illegal but can be harmful for customers receiving certain treatments from those that haven't had proper training. - This used to be Dahn yoga and they rebranded to save face. Research for yourself - Dahn had been in the hot seat in the past for many, many reasons. I remember going to one Dahn class over a decade ago and I ran for the hills after because it was not yoga. Yoga originated in India, is based on sanskrit and does not guilt people into worship, excess of anything. I could say more but I'll stop there and let you be the judge. If some folks have had positive experiences here I'd say keep going. I am simply speaking about my individual experience.

I could go on for days about how wonderful this place is, but it's a place you kind of have to…read moreexperience yourself. Master Anita isn't called master for no reason, she is caring, kind, strong, happy, knowledgeable and GENUINE. She deeply cares for each one of her clients and bend over backwards to make sure she can help. However, ALL of the instructors here are great! I came here after having multiple surgeries and not finding any relief, after my last surgery (it's been almost a year) and I'm almost out of pain and have way more flexibility than I have had in many, many years. I wouldn't be where I am now without master Anita, the other instructors and this wonderful place. I came here initially to try tai chi, but I just wasn't strong enough yet and did one on ones with master Anita and eventually started doing yoga once a week and then would increase as I was getting stronger and it wasn't even until five months later I started with tai chi, which I do really love. This place is great and it's not your traditional style of yoga, it is different. There is no judgment, and it's a very excepting place for whatever level you're at! There is varied ages that attend classes, there is also online options (but I recommend starting in person). There are workshops you can do, some are cheaper and less time summer more intense and are more costly. But each one I have done has been 110% worth it, I learn something new every time. Depending on the class it can get intense, but again everything is at your level of comfort and you just do the best you can and it is accepted. This place has changed my life, and is now a part of my regular routine. I can't imagine where I would be right now if it wasn't for master Anita, the instructors in this amazing program! I'm so grateful!

Not only is Micheal a martial arts Shifu (master) he's also a warm and engaging person. Clearly an authority in Chinese martial arts, he's learned in Western medicine. Basic 'form' classes begin with gentle active relaxation and progress to Tai Chi body movements that progress into Tai Chi forms or sets. Michael's approach is practical, emphasizing how to perform daily physical tasks more efficiently while breathing so as to have more energy, less discomfort, greater strength, flexibility and balance. Fellow students are welcoming, and he's cultivated a loyal following. He's not pretentious, he's genuine and he consistently teaches within the Harvard Medical School's Guide to Tai Chi. And classes are affordable with online videos to support forms and movements expertly taught at the Tai Chi Association. The first class is free, so it's easy to validate if this health program 'fits' your needs. Visit their website, spend some time reviewing the videos and articles posted. Personally, I wake up excited to attend class, to see the instructors and my fellow students. Join us!

Note the school has only been in operation for 5 years. If you choose this school, and if you get sucked into giving of your time, talents and money (beyond tuition), just know there is a high risk that you may one day suddenly not be beneficial enough for him and his school.
