Like it's clearly stated what items you'll get charged more for and items that you can get more. My daughter wanted a ramen bowl. One hit of the broth and she was hooked. It's a bit expensive. It's always slow when I visit but not sure if it's the food because the food I've had tasted very very good.

A life-changing experience! Chris Cinnamon is a phenomenal instructor!…read more If you are curious about Tai Chi or looking for an incredible new class, you must check out Chicago Tai Chi and instructor Chris Cinnamon! I started his classes recently and the experience has been absolutely fantastic. Chris embodies everything you could want in a teacher: he is incredibly thorough, breaking down movements so they are easy to understand for all levels. He has a truly great energy that makes every session both relaxing and invigorating. Beyond his knowledge, Chris is remarkably gentle and kind. He creates a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable learning at their own pace. His deep expertise shines through, making even complex concepts approachable. These classes have been a highlight of my week. I highly recommend Chris Cinnamon and Chicago Tai Chi to anyone in the Chicago area!

I joined CTC after decades of hockey and contact sports burned out my back and knees. I had no…read moreexpectations going in, just curiosity. I was immediately impressed by the knowledge, experience, and talent of the instructors. More so, I appreciated their respectful treatment of students. The subjects they teach are interesting and helpful both mentally and physically. The teaching is clear and concise with ample time for questions. I can't imagine a better way to learn. I have experienced positive results in terms of my initial health issues and am back at some of the sports I had given up. I highly recommend Chicago Tai Chi!

Horrible experience…read more First, these are not talented teachers. They think they're masters, they can't even do fajin. Had a horrible experience with "Master Bob" who harassed me in front of the entire class for asking questions. This 'man' has zero taichi ability, zero qi, zero peng, zero martial ability. This place is mostly middle-aged nerds cosplaying taichi, they have no push hands ability, do not understand the foundation of taichi, and going here you will never gain any ability. Also the idea you need to be vegetarian for better qi is 100% false.

Best part is that the teachers here really enjoy supporting our growth & healing journey, no matter what our goals are.

I'm so thankful I found this place. I am a pretty high stressed type A person. I would say that I…read morehate calming down and I take offense when people tell me to "chill out" or "stop stressing out". Obviously things build up and I needed a way to release all my pent up stress, anxiety, nerves, emotions instead of channeling it back into activities. I found Body & Brain Yoga on Groupon (they currently have a 10 sessions for $39.00 special). Body & Brain is incredible because it focuses on the meridians and energies of the organs, using ancient Far Eastern concepts on energy. I did a private session today with owner, Julia Chung and I just signed up for more classes. Julia is a kindred spirit. She's highly educated (PH.D./engineer) and left her cushy corporate job to pursue her soul's passion. She's really funny, really smart and incredibly compassionate. She's also a Life Coach and is patient and an amazing listener. I'm so thankful to have met her! As for the class. The "wooden pillow" class was interesting. It's definitely different than anything I have taken before but it's a lot of meditation, breathing, and using a wooden "pillow" as a massage tool. It's kind of like "myofascial release" in personal training where you use a Styrofoam roller to target key muscles and your lower back/temples. Julia also uses aromatherapy in her classes and ends each class with a circle and healing tea. The entire session was perfect because my stress was gone and it was a different experience than traditional gym (running/lifting) as well as Hatha yoga. I definitely recommend that you try it because it's an experience that I can't describe. I look forward to trying the other different classes (they have tai-chi, dahn yoga, energy classes, etc) and learning about new ways to not only de-stress but also get in touch with my true self!

He helps to take the ego away from practicing the art, which is so valuable in the pursuit of such a subtle art. He makes the physics and physiology behind the art so clear and points his students a clear path toward the ultimate goal.
