Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi

A Life-Changing Journey: My Experience at the Tai Chi Center. Two months ago, I walked into the TaiChi Center as a complete beginner-curious, a little nervous, and hoping to find a way to reconnect with my body and mind. From day one, the atmosphere at the center felt welcoming, calm, and full of quiet strength. The space itself seems to radiate peace, but it's the people who truly make it special-especially the two extraordinary masters guiding our journey. Master Sean has a presence that is both grounding and inspiring. With wisdom and endless patience, he is reminding us that Tai Chi is as much about inner stillness as it is about movement. Master Nimah with grace and gentle humors brings a different but equally powerful energy there. They see the potential in every student and nurture it with genuine care and encouragement. As a beginner, it's easy to feel overwhelmed-but under the guidance of these two amazing teachers, I feel fully supported. Each class feels like a step toward something deeper-not just a skill, but a way of being. To anyone considering starting Tai Chi: cannot recommend this center-and these incredible masters-highly enough It's not just a class. It's a gift.

I came to Body & Brain looking for relief from back and neck pain, and I’m so glad I did. The instructors blend yoga and qigong in a unique way that helps me decompress and reconnect with my body. The studio is clean, spacious, and has a cheerful, relaxed atmosphere. Even after just a few classes, I already feel improvements in my body and mind. I believe with regular practice, I’ll continue to heal. Highly recommend to people of all ages—whether you’re in pain or just looking for a peaceful place to move and recharge!

Being new to the neighborhood, I was looking for a yoga center that felt like I belonged. And I found it! This studio really feels like a community where they care. This yoga practice has helped me find salvage and allowed me to address many of my health issues. Along with daily classes, they host many different seminars and events that bring happy, open-minded and nonjudgemental people. It also allows you to break the same dull routine of an exercise class. Master Amy is quite amazing! I've never met anyone like her. She can pinpoint exactly what is bothering you either physically or mentally. All the teachers have taught me something about myself in every class I've attended. Recommended this class to anyone looking to gain back health and happiness in their lives.

I have been attending classes here for approximately 6 months and within such a short time frame I see my growth and progress. When I started this practice, it was mostly to become physically fit but during this period I learnt a lot about myself from an emotional aspect and my habits that did not serve me. Overall, I can say that I have a better relationship with the people around me and most importantly myself. From the beginning, the instructors made me feel very comfortable regardless of my level/ experience with the practice. I look forward to continuing my growth with Body and Brain.

Going to Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi is the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. I joined is to be stronger for physical health strength and mental fitness. For me, a person who didn’t like to exercise is looking forward to each class because at the center the instructors are kind, patient, supportive, attentive and compassionate.

I’ve been a member of Body & Brain of Forest Hills for over 4 years and I go to classes at least 3 times a week. I know that taking Yoga & Tai Chi has made a real impact on my life. The classes are invigorating, energizing, and even relaxing (meditation is definitely a favorite). I leave the classes feeling better physically, emotionally, and mentally. Classes are never boring. There are so many varied exercises targeting the whole body. The instructors give expert direction and are also encouraging and attentive to individual needs. Most impressive is that the environment is welcoming & respectful. Special recognition to Master Sean Newman, manager of Forest Hill’s Yoga & Tai Chi and congratulations to him for winning 2 gold medals in the QiGong competition in Korea. So much appreciation to all the phenomenal masters; Amy, Devon, Ilene, Maryann, & Sean.

There are many benefits that I get from participating in Body & Brain YogaTai Chi - Forest Hills NY, including: I feel healthier, I can think more clearly and calmly, I learn to be at peace with myself, I learn to love myself more, when I am doing Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi activities I can cry uncontrollably help me to release the emotions and problems that weighed on my mind, after that I felt my heart was open and light... I was happy because at the end of the session the Master provided time for us to share stories about whatever made us happy because we had friends to share stories with. One hour with Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi, make me feel healthier physically and spiritually, my heart is calmer and more open, my mind is open and I learn to love ourselves and learn to forgive ourselves and others... forgive our bad past.. I love Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi ❤️❤️
