Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi — Attraction in Oʻahu

I have been a member at BBYT Aiea Center for 8 ½ years.  When I joined at the age of 60 I did not have any expectations since I had experienced on and off been with many other exercise, yoga, taichi, karate classes.  None of them lasted very long. I learned quickly that BBYT was different and beside having the choice of being able to go to any of their  classes from 1 day (class) a week or every class offered by them is very appealing.  During and after Covid they offer Zoom class as well. I did and still believe in mind over matter = Body and Brain, Brain and Body. My personal experience with BBYT: Both my knees used to crack from a young age until when it stopped cracking after just few months. My flexibility better than I was in my 20’s. I can steadily walk for 5 miles without a break. My balance has steadied. Learning how to align my chi energy.

They offer many various classes and meditation tours to better oneself. Reminders of all the things that you know its right for you as an individual. I have seen through the 8 ½ years of other members from their 1st day not being able to get on the floor to going down and up from the floor with ease and being more flexible.  Their attitude, self reflection, energy level has been very noticeable. I do recommend anyone of all...

I encountered Body & Brain at a Body Mind Spirit Expo. At their table, I enrolled in classes, as I was looking to begin on a self-care journey. My initial conversation with them instilled confidence that I had found the right place.

I have been attending classes for approximately a month now, and the experience has surpassed my expectations. The overall environment is welcoming and fosters a strong sense of community, even among the other centers in the local area. During the exercises, they consistently emphasize the importance of not comparing oneself to others, but rather focusing on personal improvement and pushing oneself to achieve incremental progress.

I think what sets Body & Brain apart is that it goes beyond physical exercise. They incorporate guided interaction with healing and energy, which provides mental and emotional support.

Since starting my journey with Body & Brain, I have experienced positive transformations in both my physical and mental well-being, truly living up to their name. No words can express how grateful I am to have trusted my healing...

My first day at Body and Brain in Aiea was on Memorial Day, 2022. Body and Brain has been an integral part in my journey to recovery and wellness from a major 3-year bipolar depression. My daughter had me enroll in B&B after seeing me at home, staring at the 4 walls, and not being able to do "normal" things, such as socializing, cooking and driving. I was in a vegetative state. B&B had been my lifesaver, as it was the ONLY HIGHLIGHT in each of those days. B&B has been an essential part of my life, as I am now happy, grateful and ALIVE! I am enjoying my life to the fullest! I am most thankful to have "discovered B&B AND Master Cat! Master Cat's enthusiasm, warmth and passionate support towards her students are reasons that spur me on to not missing a single class. She is dedicated and committed to providing the best experiences for her students. I've also learned to stay grounded and calm in stressful situations, by using simple exercises and techniques learned in class. I enjoy and look forward each day to attend B& B sessions, as they are still the...
