Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi — Local services in Sandy Springs

Body & Brain Yoga and Tai Chi saved my life...it found me at a time when I was lost and looking for my purpose in life, but I didn't event know that I was at the time. My first experience was an introductory session with Master O in the Marietta Center. She laid me down flat on the ground, and placed her hand firmly on my heart, and I started weeping hysterically. She told me that I have an immense amount of unprocessed sadness that I needed to heal, and that she could help me do that. I was instantly hooked. I said - sign me up for everything. I need all of the healing.

So I have been a member for over a year now...and I can easily say that Body & Brain is my safe space. Not only the Marietta Center, but the Buckhead Center and even the Decatur Center. When you join Body & Brain, you literally gain a community of people who want nothing more than the betterment of humanity, for you to realize your personal power, and for you to meet your true self and to fulfill your lives purpose.

With Body & Brain, there are many different levels that you can participate - which I think is beautiful. You can simply be the person that comes to class after work, to destress and stretch, and to feel better. This is the lowest level of involvement, and it in itself is so significant because this reaches the masses. Ultimately, that is the goal of this practice. The reach the masses and help them cope with everyday life. However, if you want to dive deeper, that is when it really gets beautiful. There are so many workshops, classes, and private sessions you can participate in.

What I love is that you get to decide your level of involvement. And that can change from day to day. However, when you learn the principles of this energetic work, it is hard to turn your back on them. At the end of the day, it is about taking care of your body, mind and soul. I had never been anywhere that addressed all three at once. I can say without a doubt, that this is the most holistic practice that is physically challenging, mentally stimulating and spiritually enlightening. I would recommend it to any human, no matter their age, race or sex. This is a community of humans who want to be healthy, to spread positive energy, and to heal the human race....one human at a time.

Thank you, Body & Brain. Thank you, Master O, Master Eunice and Master Julia for your input on my healing journey. I am a believer in this practice and my continued journey. Thank you for your thoughtful input...

Around this time last year, I was searching for a place to learn Tai Chi in the Marietta/Atlanta area. That’s when I discovered Body & Brain, where I heard they offer Tai Chi classes. My journey began with an introduction session with Master Lakshmi, and I immediately felt I had found the right place. Shortly after, I met Master Brian, and our meeting profoundly shifted my perspective on learning Tai Chi. Within just a few sessions, I gained clarity on what I truly wanted from Body & Brain and decided to continue with the group sessions.

The facility is clean, well-maintained, and radiates a calming atmosphere, making it the perfect environment for relaxation and personal growth. Its convenient location and hassle-free parking added to the overall positive experience.

The Masters are incredibly kind and attentive, taking the time to understand my personal wellness goals and customizing their approach to support my journey. The classes are varied and engaging, blending elements of yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, and breathwork. Both Masters are not only knowledgeable and passionate but also provide clear guidance, encouraging participants to progress at their own pace. I especially appreciated their focus on the connection between body, mind, and energy, which made the sessions feel truly holistic and transformative.

A year later, I look at myself as someone who has grown in self-love, self-awareness, confidence, and care for family and friends, all while letting go of negativity and resentment.

While it’s difficult to put into words all the experiences I’ve had here, I believe each individual’s journey is unique and deeply personal, shaped by what they seek and discover during their time at Body & Brain.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your practice, Body & Brain Buckhead is an incredible place to nurture your well-being. Every time I leave a class, I feel refreshed, balanced, and eager to return.

I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking self-awareness, mindfulness, and a respite from the demands of the mechanical world—a chance to connect with other like-minded individuals in a beautiful and...

Update: It has now been 3 years, and I love this practice more than ever. Everything from my original review below has stood the test of time, which is saying a lot. I have never stuck with a practice or a center of Yoga & Tai Chi (or any kind of fitness and well-being) for this long. That is because this practice continues to deliver real life results no matter what state of mind or body I am in. I highly recommend Body & Brain to anyone looking to improve their energy, vitality, happiness, flexibility, fitness, and over all well-being.

I started practicing at the Buckhead location of Body and Brain Yoga almost nine months ago. It's rare to find something in life that is exactly what it claims to be. Body and Brain Yoga is just such a rare find. All of the principles of energy and healing that they teach are what I have been personally experiencing to be true in my own body as I have been using the practice to help me heal from surgery and a lot of life stress. I have been amazed at how this practice has met me at every step of the way right where I was and gave me exactly what I needed at that time. I have never felt pressured, only lovingly supported, by the practice and the Master teachers who have helped me to strike a balance between challenging myself and honoring where I was at that moment. The classes and the one on one instruction are excellent. I do not want to imagine my life without this practice. How I feel now after nine months at Body and Brain is like the difference between Pinocchio the wooden toy and Pinocchio the real boy. The increased aliveness, freedom, energy, strength, flexibility, balance, and joy that I am experiencing in my body and my life is a huge improvement from how I felt when I started. I am very grateful to have been guided to this center and...
