I've been with Body and Brain Yoga/Tai Chi close to 10 years. I was introduced to to B and B in Arizona, and now in West Linn Oregon. As the title indicates, this approach is not just an hour of physical exercise. The concept of mental awareness is unique: awareness of breathing, the understanding of energy "within" and "without" and an overall outlook on the merits of flexibility, both physically and mentally.

I developed arthritis at age 48 and now have 2 hip replacements. My activities were restricted, I became depressed and angry. After 3 months training 3x/week with M. So Mi practicing tai chi and yoga, I regained strength, flexibility, quieted my mind, and, most importantly, a positive attitude/feeling about myself. This practice is ideal for seniors and others who were once active/healthy and want to regain energy, balance, body/mind connection, reduce stress - heal their bodies and calm their minds. Honestly, this practice may have saved my life. read more

I have been a member of Body and Brain, West Linn for a little over three years. With regular attendance I have seen significant mental and physical changes in life and my body. I am much calmer and more organized in my thinking. The physical benefits have been loss of weight and a notable increase in strength and flexibility. The community that participates is genuine and caring. I highly recommend looking in to a membership. read more

What a great system to build your physical body and energy body! Be more than your body - I have learned healing, daily practices and so much more. read more

Helped me transform my life. Daily living habits, thought patterns, mood and well-being is elevated. I am lighter because of the practices learned at Body&brain. For those unfamiliar with Ki energy, meridian systems, and the connection of body & mind, I encourage all to approach with an open heart and curious mind. The neurological healing that has occurred within me is without parallel. Specifically, after practicing B&B for a matter of weeks, I experienced an involuntary change toward cleaner eating habits, i quit antidepressants, I quit tobacco, I lost weight, my thought patterns shifted from self-centered toward earth-consciousnesss/societal matters. Friends say I look different--younger, brighter. I am still new to all of this, and the initial affects have been profound--sometimes overwhelming. I am grounded, though...this is physical activity for a physical body. You do not need to over-think it. Just try some guided yoga and meditation with these masters. read more

This is NOT a cult. The classes all focus on stretching your body for maximum balance and strength. As we age keeping your balance is very important. Some of the classes also work your brain with fun exercises to also keep our minds alert. The classes are friendly and everyone gets to work at their own pace. I've never felt like an outsider. read more

When I first arrived at Body & Brain Yoga almost two years ago, my body's energy situation was in a bit of a mess. I had symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, not feeling grounded, stuffy breathing, and low energy. Though I still may experience these symptoms from time to time, they are MUCH less than before. I feel a greater sense of inner stability and calm. I feel more connected with myself, and feel a greater level of confidence and self worth. I'm making healthier choices with diet, exercise, and how to manage my body's energy. Overall, I'd say that Body & Brain has helped me upgrade the quality of my life in so many ways. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

Absolutely amazing! I did the introductory class just to begin and was completely amazed with my experience. Such a wonderful experience at every visit! read more

Very expensive. Instructor, SOMI, was very rude. Odd atmosphere that was not traditional yoga at all. I was super pressured to buy a membership and a 'belly button tool'. read more

I have done yoga for over 20 years, but this is like no other class. There is a more holistic approach to this class. It's not all about stretching and poses: it integrates the whole body, the mind and the spirit. Breathing, stretching, meditation, energy work... It's the best class I've ever taken. Master Cindy is a true healer. My body in better shape after only a month, and I am experiencing a level of emotional well-being that I have only glimpsed at before. read more
