Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi - Kirkland, Washington

I was looking for a place that offer classes for meditation and breathing to manage my mental health issues. I'm so glad that I found Body and Brain in Kirkland. I like the variation of classes that are being offered here from Tai Chi, Core Strengthening to Energy Movement. I especially like the body tapping and wooden pillow classes. The classes are easy to follow and all the instructors are great especially Melanie WJM. She has so much energy and she always add some new movements to each class that I find very helpful. After each class I feel more refreshed and have a better flow of energy in my body. I highly recommend this place!

I love the Kirkland Body and Brain yoga center. I especially love Master Melanie. Her energy is awesome. She's very knowledgeable. Her classes are fun. She's easy to talk to. The facility itself is nice and clean. It's easy to get to. There's plenty of parking even though it gets very busy with the ice rink next door. After class there are some nice food options.

I’m so glad I stumbled across body & brain when I was looking for a way to practice meditation and mind & body alignment. Melanie is a great teacher who is always there to offer a listening ear or offer her wisdom. I feel like I’ve found a great community here with people who are kind, loving, and non-judgemental. I highly recommend the classes here!

I've been attending classes here for a month and I'm hooked! Melanie is a talented instructor, able to tune the classes in the moment based on how the students are feeling. She clearly has an extraordinary depth of experience to be able to do that so well. Classes are sometimes challenging, sometimes profoundly relaxing, sometimes very entertaining, and always exactly what I need that day. The other students are friendly and interesting. It's clear that many of them have been regulars for a long time. That's me in the future.

BodynBrain has transformed my life after being a student the past 10 years. When I first came in 2014, I was a stressed out entrepreneur in burnout from over volunteering and making a difference in the world. It was hard to take even 5 minutes for myself of any self care. Through taking classes weekly then eventually 2-3x/week, I began to heal from within, creating a regular self care routine that supported not just my heart, mind, and body, but ignited my soul journey. I'm now living a life led by by True Self, my Soul and embodying my soul's joy.

I had taken traditional hatha yoga for 18 years prior to my first BodynBrain class. After my first class, I sweated like I never had as an athlete and impressed by the super senior people in the class being so limber and at peace in ways my body couldn't even do. When we had tea time, and felt my energy, I decided to pursue this Tao based yoga in my own Korean heritage and haven't looked back since. Highly recommend.

I love being part of this community. I look forward to my classes each week. The instructors are wonderful and I leave feeling calm and centered. I highly recommend joining if you are looking to center yourself and get back out of your head and back into your body.

Awesome place! I am so glad I decided to try it out back in 2017.
Body and Brain offers both in studio and online classes that utilize a mixture of tapping, meridian stretching, core exercise, yoga, Tai-chi, breath work and meditation to improve body, mind and energy condition. The instructors are very warm and caring, each brings their own unique strength and qualities to the class. No class is exactly the same. If you are feeling heavy and serious, come try out a class with the current center manager Master Melanie, her joyful energy is contagious, she will make sure you get a good workout with lots of laughter and leave with a smile on your face.
I also love the friendly atmosphere in the classroom from all my fellow classmates. I can feel relax to just be myself, focus on my own self-growth without pressure or judgement. Over the years, I have found my energy level and physical condition improved. I also became more aware of my deeper emotional blockages and was able to gradually let go of them. I feel lighter, happier and more confident these days. Highly recommended.
