These classes are unlike any other yoga classes that I've done. It's important to try it with an open mind, and give yourself the permission to just be ... you don't have to be perfect, you don't have to push yourself too hard, and you don't have to compare yourself to anyone else in class. It's a truly comfortable and safe place, which I greatly appreciate. It's not a competition! Susan, at Body & Brain in Raleigh, focuses on breathing & incorporates meditation, self awareness, and elements of Tai Chi and Qigong. It's energizing, relaxing & stress reliving all at the same time! The practice has helped me to focus on myself and my stress levels have decreased. During class, I use muscles that I don't use at any other time, and my flexibility and strength have increased, too. No class is exactly like the other, and I appreciate the variety of poses and stretches. read more

I had never done yoga and was looking for meditation instruction. So it was great to find this place because it combines yoga and movements for increased joint flexibility with a strong emphasis on proper breathing techniques and "getting out of your head" by focusing on your body and what your body is doing. The classes are super consistent and the instructor is fantastic when it comes to monitoring that everybody is moving, stretching, even sitting with proper safe techniques. I am so glad I found this place. It works for building core strength, joint flexibility, and decreasing stress. read more

After just the 1st class I knew that Body & Brain Yoga Raleigh was exactly what I had been searching for. I was not looking for the standard yoga class but rather something that was achievable and sustainable throughout the rest of my life. I wanted to have flexibility, balance and energy throughout each day as well as a clear mind with a desire to learn new things. These classes teach just those things with lots of laughter and a sense of personal attention to my specific needs. I finish every class looking forward to the next and ready to take on any challenges that await me. read more

I've been taking classes for about two years. I began because my doctor said it would be good for my psoriasis. Low and behold, I've not had an outbreak in over a year and a half! Also I recently took a serious fall. Badly bruised knees, broken toe. I continued with yoga. I was back 95% in 2 1/2 weeks as opposed to 6 weeks as a nurse told me. All due to body and brain! I also enjoy the sharing at the end of class and the friendships that I've made. read more

I go home energized and refreshed! Many thanks to the wonderful instructor! read more

My mom was loving the classes until she took the Find Your True Self course. It totally fucked her up. She said it was the biggest mistake she's ever made in her life. She mentally and physically feels horrible now everyday. She is no stranger to martial arts, yoga, or Eastern Philosophy. Tread lightly people. read more

Become the best you at Body and Brain. I have enjoyed the classes with Susan, the owner and instructor. A hidden gem in the Kroger shopping complex. Non-traditional, with a focus on -- Body and Brain. Susan knows all of her students and the classes are small enough to receive personal attention. read more
