It is over a year since writing the above review and I am sad to report I have very different…read morefeelings about Body & Brain. In the beginning, as indicated in the above review, the gentle stretching was very healing for my SI joint injury. On a daily basis I gave very vocal positive feedback to the center owner and to the other classmates. From the very start I had heard about their all important workshop "Finding True Self," and made plans to attend one scheduled for December of 2023. As I recall, the cost was about $400 for the one day workshop. There was some lecture material, but most of that was information I had gleaned from my master's in counseling program at the university. The leader does not speak the best English, so close attention is needed to be certain everything is understood. Before long the group -- 4 participants, along with about 12 to 16 facilitators and helpers were involved in what I can only describe as primal screaming. I don't know the words they were screaming, but the decibel level was so high that I had piercing pains in my left ear. Finally, the screaming stopped and we were asked how we were feeling. I very directly and emphatically told the entire assembly that the noise level in the room was damaging to human hearing. As a certificated health teacher I well-know about the damage of loud noises. I was then given a pair of flimsy, and, frankly, worthless earplugs. Turns out there would be several more screaming sessions. I had very good earplugs at home but had not been advised to bring them. Also, I had accepted a ride that day so did not have my car with me. My family were all traveling. I could have, and should have, called an Uber to leave but I knew that my leaving would be taken as an insult. I toughed it out. Then, at the very end we were involved in some kind of community hugging, that held no value to me because the entire day had been such a disappointment. We were each "awarded" a single rose at the end. I was immediately overcome with guilt because I did not believe I had done anything to earn any kind of an award. My ears rang with tinnitus for many weeks after this nightmare. There was a follow-up session conducted online, but I was the only one who attended. Then there was an in-person follow-up session where other participants shared that the entire workshop experience had been very positive for them. I was direct in sharing that I did not have a positive experience. I saw no benefit for myself or for Body & Brain for me to lie about it. Had I known about the screaming -- probably five or six times throughout the day -- I would never have agreed to participate and, certainly, would not have paid money to participate. Even after I told the group that the decibel level was so loud that it was damaging to human hearing, none of the facilitators made any effort to reduce the noise level. During at least one of the screaming sessions I looked up and saw the leader screaming into a microphone, so loudly that his head was shaking back and forth. This could not have been therapeutic for him or anyone else in the room. Body & Brain offers many retreats and workshops that take place in Arizona and New Zealand (I believe) and this Finding True Self workshop is required before anyone is permitted to participate in these other, far more expensive workshops. In June 2023 the center I was attempting to renew my 3-month membership and the owner kept pressuring me to renew for the coming year. Well I am a senior citizen, over the age of 80, and I don't usually plan that far in advance. But her high pressure sales tactics were so persistent that I finally agreed. Then in January of this year I began to have some health issues and was not able to attend on a regular basis. After missing a few days, I ended up not attending at all. Then, last week, the end of June I was feeling much better one morning and decided to attend the 9:30 class. After the class the center owner approached me rudely to tell me that she had found me so negative for the entire year I had attended that she did not want to work with me anymore. She seemed to forget the very positive review (above) that I had written last year, as well as all the oral compliments I had given about the help the gentle stretching had afforded me. I left with the intention of never returning. Now that a week has passed I feel I must write a follow-up that is completely honest. There are accusations that Body & Brain is a cult, and after my experience, I am inclined to agree. I suspect the issue in my case was that I was very vocal about not liking a workshop that I was expected to like, and, indeed, was required to like. Under no circumstances would I recommend Body & Brain to anyone. There are community health clubs that offer all levels of yoga, and often medical insurance pays for the cost of participation. In addition, there are private yoga establishments with very competitive prices for participation.
