I live in Northern California and have been with Body & Brain Yoga for almost eight years. I made a trip to Arizona recently and took advantage of my membership to use the center in Scottsdale. The Body & Brain Yoga is a well-known organization and offers classes throughout the U.S. and some other countries worldwide. You can use any of the centers when you become a member, and that's a big plus!
There are various types of yoga studios and practices available, however Body & Brain Yoga offers simple and practical exercises that are very effective for the individual to stay in shape physically and mentally.
People of all ages, young and old, attend these classes and enjoy them, since the stretches and exercises are simple but very powerful. It depends on the individual to build her/his body with even simple exercises. It has to do with persistency and consistency more than anything else.
If you can feel and connect with the energy of the universe, you will enjoy the meditation exercises and achieve calmness and tranquility within yourself. The energy dance exercises will give you the opportunity to express yourself freely and that's one of my favorite exercises. I also enjoy the Tai Chi exercises that are simple and very powerful.
At Scottsdale center, expect nothing but the best. Master Sun Gwang has been with the organization for many years and can help you achieve your goal. From improving yourself physically to boosting your energy level to getting emotional support, she is always there with an open heart to help you. You can do research on different Yoga studios, but you will probably not find a place like Body & Brain Yoga, because you can call it home with all the love and attention that you will receive form Master Sun Gwang and other members of this unique and multifaceted organization.
As far as COVID19 is concerned, the center is kept very clean and social distancing is observed in the classes. The first step for making a change is to make a decision, but you really need the "action" to make it happen.
Stay safe and healthy. Best wishes...
Read moreI joined Body and Brain Yoga and Tai Chi, in 2013, with the intention of only trying a class. That intention became more powerful than I could have ever imagined! Over the course of five years, one class led to several classes, a membership, advanced training, and now employment with Body and Brain. Body and Brain is different from other types of yoga because it is Korean mind/body training. This training includes brain wave vibration, core strengthening, basic stretching, cool energy up(head and chest)/warm energy down (to the abdomen), bowing exercises, tapping, Tai Chi and Ki Gong, Dahn Mu, brain education, wooden pillow, healing life tool, magnet healing, intestinal exercises, and other life and health enhancing exercises and tools that help people balance and maintain balance. How do people maintain “balance” in today’s world? The twenty-first century life is one of too much information and too many demands. Many people are experiencing higher levels of stress and more work expectations than ever before in history. Regardless of medical advances, too many stressors and too many expectations—along with unlimited information-- are creating more and more illness and societal ills. People cannot be “on” 24/7. We are not designed to do that! Body and Brain is a healthy way to rejuvenate and refresh oneself, daily! There is something for everyone and everyone will benefit. Cleaning the energy from the inside every day, will help reduce stress, increase focus and intention, foster greater self-peace, and open the soul—the true self—for better living! I recommend Body and Brain Yoga and Tai Chi to everyone! Try a class. Relax your brain and allow your body to be present and alert in a warm, caring, supportive environment. Allow yourself to be fully alive. I tried one class, five years ago, and it changed my life for the better in countless...
Read moreBody and Brain has transformed the way I experience health and strength and wellness. It’s so hard to describe without experiencing it--it’s different from any spiritual or exercise practice I’ve ever done before, and I’m a person who has run marathons and triathlons and done hot yoga and I am a mountain biker and hiker and I love nature and church. I’m 53 now, and I started noticing more fatigue and body aches and overuse injuries. I’m a mom of three teenagers and life challenges are what they are. Body and Brain is a program that has equipped me with a self confidence I have never experienced before--the program is a beautiful approach to life with brightness, optimism, and a never give up attitude. The classes, retreats and books literally strengthen my body and my mind to be able to sustain balance, moderation, and acceptance of whatever is to come for the rest of my life. I love that there’s old people, young people, many people from every cultural, religious, educational and socio economic background imaginable. I have experienced a love for moving my body that fills me with gratitude. I was diagnosed with heart failure even, and because of the techniques and exercises I have learned to strengthen myself, I feel all the emotions in an even and balanced way while I learn about myself. I am so grateful. Oh yeah, and...
