Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi

Master Kim is the best !!! This place is so good that I wish I could volunteer here for my lifetime. I went there being lost with anxiety and severe panic attacks. With just one session with Master Kim I got a lot of clarity. One week of class and my severe panic attacks went down to zero. Now the other side of it. Be reasonable, there is just one Master Kim. Master cannot give attention to everyone always, in short, master is super busy. To be respectful book appointments. One old line that everyone needs to remember " if you know to do something, don't do it for free, else it will become worthless" - you have to pay for what Master Kim can offer. After all Master is also a human being, trying to keep the place running.

I cannot recommend this location highly enough! I have been attending the Tai Chi classes twice a week for about 3 months now and it has been such a delight every single time. Master Kim is a wonderful instructor and truly helps guide and encourage you to take better care of your body and mind. I have lived with moderate asthma for most of my life, and this was the first form of exercise I have ever done that has not triggered my asthma in any way– all the while still maintaining a healthy and rigorous workout. I always leave class feeling much more energized and happy than when I came. It has also been an excellent way for me to build strength in my core after a lengthy recovery from stomach and diaphragm surgery. I have seen massive improvements in my overall physical capabilities after even just a few weeks of practice. I am truly grateful for Master Kim's patience and expertise, and these classes are quickly becoming the highlight of my week every time I go. I have never been the most physically gifted person, but attending this class has helped me build a confidence in myself that I have not known before. Thank you so much for all that you do Master Kim! Would give a higher rating if I could!

After just a few classes, I feel lighter, calmer, less bloated and much more energetic. On top of that, Master Kim’s warmth and humor create a very welcoming and friendly environment.

I just attended my first Tai Chi class with Master Kim. The hour long session was absolutely a lot of fun (Smile). It was a class of about 15 students and Master Kim did a great job of addressing any student techniques, including my own. The course was challenging, but totally suited to move within one’s own limits. I am very much looking forward to my next class and my future Tai Chi journey. Thank you Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi and mostly Thank you, Master Kim. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Scott

We are so lucky and blessed to have Master Kim in Irvine. In my entire life I have never seen a yoga/ Tai Chi master who is so dedicated to the health and welfare of his students as Master Kim. Master kim is also a healer as many of us have witnessed over the years. Joining brain and body yoga with Master kim is probably the best decision that I have taken in my life in the last ten years.

Brain and Body’s programs are outstanding! Master Kim is very considerate of different students needs, always cheerful, engaging and energetic. I went in a bit reluctantly, knowing my recovery from shoulder surgery was incomplete despite physical therapy. I attend 3-4 times a week. Within months I fully regained range of motion and strength after rotator cuff surgery. I was surprised that my overall health also saw major improvements I was not anticipating: my blood pressure improved markedly, my overall flexibility and stamina improved, and after a year of pretty regular attendance I lost 12 pounds of weight with no other changes to my lifestyle or diet. For the first time in 30 years my cholesterol improved! After a year and a half of attendance I strongly recommend Brain and Body in Northwood, Irvine, not just for recovery, but as an essential tool to maintain health and a positive mental attitude. Thank you Master Kim! Chris Flynn-

I have been attending Tai Chi class with Master Kim over 4 months. Master Kim is phenomenal and his expertise in Tai Chi is evident in every movement and explanation, making it easy for both beginners to follow along and improve their practice. The class is well-structured, starting with a warm-up that prepares the body and mind for the session. Master Kim's ability to demonstrate and then break down complex movements into manageable steps is truly impressive. Master Kim is very kind and funny and he is making the class so relaxing and enjoyable. He allows everyone progress at their own pace while maintaining proper form and his patience and encouraging demeanor create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Moreover, Master Kim integrates the philosophical and meditative aspects of Tai Chi, helping me connect more deeply with the practice. This holistic approach not only enhances physical well-being but also promotes mental clarity and inner peace. Personally, I found a big improvement both mentally and physically after 3 month practice. Overall, Master Kim's class is a transformative and amazing experience. I highly recommend Master Kim's class. It's an opportunity to learn from a true master and cultivate a sense of harmony and balance in your life.
