Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi — Local services in Coral Gables

For a long time ( about 30 years) I worked as a general manager of a company and during that time I abused my body. Without taking rest, without sleeping enough, and working 7 days a week. With time my condition got so bad that I had to go to the doctor and the doctor told me either I leave my job or I will die. But because of other circumstances that happen in my life I took the decision of leaving my job and dedicate myself to some family members that needed me. Until one day out of nothing I felt that all my body was so weak my inner strength seem to had disappear, I felt so bad that I had to go to the hospital on emergency. At the hospital they told me I had nothing. I went back home and I was ok for another 6 month. But my sleeping habits got worst and worst and I had to go to the hospital again. This time they gave me medication, this medication would make me urinate every 5 minutes and my body felt very cold. I started having negative thinking and my mind was only focused in the pain in my body. The the doctor started to give me medicine for all the different pains I had. My blood pressure, sugar levels, cholesterol was high, my whole organism was failing. I was taking so much medicine but my condition got even worst, I started having panic attacks and anxiety, I went to the physiatrist and he gave me even more medicine. Obeying the doctors taking all this medicine I felt I was getting worst and becoming dependent on medicine. Everything was pain, I lost my appetite and I started having suicidal thinking. One day I decided to throw away all the medicine and started looking for answers in spirituality. And after much research looking for answers different ways one day driving by a street and like a message from God I saw a sign for healing chakra and that’s how I find Body & Brain. After the very first session I felt like the sun rose within me. I immediately decided to sign up. I knew that I need to heal myself first to be able to face life again. Two weeks after of the exercises and healing sessions that fear and panic disappeared almost 95% And now I see life in a more positive light and with hope. Now I want to go further in my spiritual life and give my body and my spirit what I denied for 50 year. I feel so much happier, positive and optimistic toward others too . Thank you Body & Brain and all the instructors for all your ...

I've been interested in Tai Chi for some time and decided to finally give it a try. I came across Body and Brain during a Google search and could not be happier. I found not only a place to learn about and practice Tai Chi and yoga, I found much more. The staff is very professional, yet personable. They are sincerely interested in me, how I'm doing, feeling and how my practice is going. The Center is clean, organized and welcoming. No matter your fitness level, there is something here for you. You'll learn a lot about yourself. I personally love participating in class (with social distancing and safety practices in place) and online. First practice I have found that I really look forward to. Highly recommended!

Update to previous review: While I was initially very content with the studio and the experience I had to drop my 5 star to two. I found that after time went on I was offered more services for additional fees. These workshops and private sessions were always presented as a benefit to me, to let go of fears, hurts, for self healing. Sounds great, however these were not inexpensive sessions or workshops. I was on my personal journey, so I signed up. After spending more than $5000, I decided it was time to focus on my daily class sessions only (which I paid for upfront for 1 year). That's when I noticed a shift. No more frequent text asking how I was feeling, no more invitations to participate in free classes or workshops, no follow up at all. While I understand it takes funds to run a Center, I also feel like that money was the motivation and that was a red flag for me. Each experience is different, this is my cautionary tale of buyer beware, you might end up spending much more than you anticipated in order...

A friend showed me a picture of herself in class doing something called belly button healing. I knew in a very general way that I had digestive issues and that my stomach would keep me awake sometimes at night. It just wouldn't calm down. My brain was always "on", even when it didn't need to be. I had also recently had back surgery so I was trying to gradually build up my physical stamina. Well, it is hard to describe the practice but think of breathing, internal organ stimulation, yoga, tai chi, meditation, mild calming practice all rolled into one. Am now doing it online by zoom and have been able to go from one class a week, to three classes a week since I don't have to drive to the center and back and waste a lot of time in my car and getting ready, etc. I just put on my workout clothes and I am ready, in my own living room. It is so easy and user friendly. In addition the instructors are available by text/appt to help you in between classes. There are seminars all the time from other teachers online. I have gotten so much in the way of improved health, peace of mind, inner guidance. Just in case you think this practice is for younger folks only, I am 70 years young and I believe this will be a life long practice for me. You do not have to be a certain "type" to benefit from this practice. I have been to class with all kinds of people and the practice is so individual in terms of all the different benefits it offers. Hard to describe, so just go take a few classes and see...
