Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi - Pasadena, California

A year ago I was extremely unwell, after 2 life threatening events, I can honestly say that the regular practice of taichi at Body and Brain has saved my life and given be my strength back. I am more limber and strong than I have been in years. I sleep better I am more motivated and I have more clarity. This practice is for everyone at every fitness level whatever your age. You will start seeing and feeling results as quickly as 1 month. The instructors are all kind, loving and genuinely caring. I highly recommend Body and Brain. It’s the best decision I have made in 2024!

I walked by this place multiple times and finally decided to check it out as I’m seeking for a wellness home. I signup for an introductory session with Annabella and it was an excellent experience. She explained the philosophy and foundation of the practice, did an assessment of my body condition, and took me through a quick experience of the various classes they offered. In a short amount of time I could feel the subtle difference in my body and mind. I gladly signed up for their monthly program to get the full experience.

Today was my fifth time joining a body and brain glass. I went to the 930 class in Pasadena. I would just like everyone to know that Annabelle is amazing when I left there. I was so enlightened and inspired. She makes me want to be a better person. She is Definitely a mentor and someone to be looked up to🙏🏼✌🏽❤️

I have thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from my program at Body & Brain, Pasadena. From not thinking I could get my mind and body going in a program such as this to now being enthusiastic and looking forward to each session. And I’m feeling so much better by being more limber and relaxed. I heartily recommend Body & Brain to anyone, no matter their age or physical condition. The masters at Body & Brain are skilled and knowledgeable about working with anyone willing to engage in the program. My suggestion is to try the introductory lesson and decide for yourself. I did and couldn’t be more satisfied. 👍👍👍👍👍

As you walk into this space you feel the energy open up. I did my healing session with Master Soul—really felt myself go deep. Great place to renew and revitalize!!

I started practicing Tai Chi Qigong at Body and Brain in Pasadena last July (2023). I knew very little about Tai Chi other than my brother had been practicing it for years and loved the benefits. I had sustained hip and shoulder injuries from playing hockey and other physically demanding sports over the years, and saw this as a way to treat my body better and stay flexible snd work on balance as I age. So I started attending body and brain and noticed right away not only the physical benefits, greater flexibility and strength but also the calming feeling that I experience at the end of every session. I’ve been learning about meridians and chakras and how our body at times will hold pain and create energy blockage that can’t flow. Further, certain practices of tai chi can actually heal the body. And as crazy as it sounds, I did have such an experience. I had been taking statins over 10 years due to a high cholesterol level, specially with my LDL. In June 2023 at my annual physical I told my general practitioner that I wanted to get off Lipitor and try to manage the cholesterol on my own. He recommended high dose, fish oil and more exercise. Then while attending body and brain, I started to learn about gut health, especially using the wooden pillow to stimulate healing in the lower abdomen. When I went to the doctors in February 2024 to get my blood tested, I found that my cholesterol level was way lower than what it was even when I was taking the meds. I wholeheartedly believe that the wooden pillow and stomach exercises that I’ve learned at Body and Brain have contributed to my lower cholesterol levels. I am still active with sports and intend to keep practicing Tai Chi. I highly recommend
Body and Brain for anyone looking to optimize their health, reduce stress and anxiety and learn how to heal your body. The instructors truly care for the well being of the membership.
