Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi

This practice has changed my life. It found me during a time where I needed it most. As a collegiate athlete, the last thing I was ever focused on was my own health. I could run a 6 minute mile, no problem. I ate whatever I wanted. Barely slept. And still performed.After my collegiate athlete days were over (right at the beginning of covid) I found myself depressed, anxious, sick, and completely lost in not only life but who I was. My body completely shut down. Soon after, I was diagnosed with lupus from the ADHD medication I was on for 6 years. I was suffering so much at 23/24, I knew something had to change. I shouldn't be feeling so sick at such a young age.Long story short, I ended up moving to Colorado and found Body and Brain a week later. Finding this practice was the true start to not only healing my physical body, but also my emotional, mental, and spiritual body as well. It is one of the catalysts in my life that has helped me uncover who I truly am.This practice has helped me reconnect with myself. I mean REALLY reconnect. I didn't realize how disconnected I was to own my body and soul until I actually felt what it felt like to be inside my body and aware of my own energy and pain. I can now pinpoint exactly where I have tension, stuck emotion, blockages, etc. I have also found a love for myself I've never felt before.I have awakened to my true beauty and value.I also struggled with the idea of "working out" again after college because of all the "forced" intense workouts I was used to doing. The last thing I wanted to do was push myself again as I had already pushed past every limit. This has been the perfect workout routine for me. It gets my body moving and stretched and helps center and ground me every single day.It truly is a comprehensive holistic approach to caring for your complete well-being, and I am grateful I found it. I always like to say, the proof is in the pudding! I guarantee if you try it out, your body will tell you your answer :-) Sending love, light, and healing energy to you all!!! <3

This studio offers so many holistic health services. The teachers are all very thoughtful and demonstrate genuine care. They are all experienced trainers. If you are looking for something more than a fitness routine, this is the place. You will not be disappointed.

I got a birthday gift card to the Lakewood Body & Brain Yoga Center, being somebody who loves to explore movement. It was a treat! I have tried 3 different modalities with 2 different teachers so far at they are all fantastic! The space is so clean and beautiful and I always leave feeling like a new person. I highly recommend!

I have been going to Body and Brain a couple/few times a week for 7 months now and my life has truly changed for the better. It’s a different form of yoga than what we westerners are accustomed to. I don’t leave sweating because it’s not necessarily a “work out”. But the transformation in my mental and physical health is something I can’t put into words. My broken femur was declared a non-union after 3 surgeries UNTIL I started this practice. Not only has it started healing for the first time in over 2 years (and I no longer need more surgery!), but my whole body feels more aligned and definitely more flexible. My mind is calmer and I have much less stress in my everyday life.You have to be open minded coming into this practice. It takes a couple weeks to feel comfortable and completely let go. But once you do, you will learn how to heal yourself in ways you never thought possible. Oh, and the instructors are absolutely amazing! 10/10 recommend!!

I love this place! The yoga-like instruction improved my physical health and my mental well-being. You can actually feel your spiritual development grow from participation in their programs. I am happier, healthier, and more peaceful from my association with them. They are super clean and cautious about virus and infection. It’s a place where you can be yourself!

It’s a great place to get you moving in different ways and to release what your body has been holding onto subconsciously. It’s also fantastic for getting out of your comfort zone and really getting comfortable within yourself. I appreciate all that I learned from Anita and Ari. They’re very caring and genuinely want you to break past barriers and grow. I definitely miss coming here since moving away. It was a good stepping stone in my journey.

Finding True Self was recommended to me by my wellness guide Master Christine from the Westminster location. I was hesitant at first because I am new to yoga and all its disciplines. But I signed up. The workshop was in 4 parts which was a 2 hour, a 7 hour, a 9 hour session, and finally a 2 hour wrap up session. The yoga master was Anita with masters Ari and Maxine. The studio was comfortable and well suited for the workshop. This was my first time attending a workshop or session in person. The physical side of the workshop is hard for a novice such as myself but my body welcomed it. And when I struggled, the attention to help me was without parallel. For want of a better word, the mental side of the workshop took me to places I have never been before, and my inner self thirsts for this connection, peace, and energy it provided me. I am a convert because I can feel the good and the benefits to my physical and mental well being. Coming out of COVID, Body & Brain can heal the damages caused by inactivity, bad life choices, and lead you to a wonderful new experience, which can only better you and your life forward. If you have not already guessed this by now, I recommend you pay a visit and just take one lesson, and you will be as excited about your future as I am. kamsamnida.

I began coming to Body and Brain after a few very stressful and traumatic years. Everything about Body and Brain has helped me get back on a positive path and rid myself of negative mental, physical and spiritual energy. My strength and flexibility have increased and I have much more energy. The teachers, Matthew and Master Anita, are very knowledgeable, friendly and positive and make the classes really fun! No two classes are the same and I also have the option of taking the classes online through Zoom. I have learned so much about meridians, auras, energy blockages and Chakras and look forward to learning much more through the daily classes, workshops, special intensive classes, books, one on one sessions with the teachers and the many world wide opportunities to take classes with different Body & Brain teachers. There are morning and afternoon/evening classes Monday through Saturday which makes it easy to fit several classes a week into my schedule. The facility is very clean and the equipment is sanitized after every use. I really love coming to class and look forward to my journey of energy healing, physical and mental strength and happiness with Body and Brain.

I have been fortunate enough to have discovered this past summer the Lakewood Body & Brain Yoga Center. The classes offered have been transformational for me. Specifically, with relaxing my mind and body and increasing energy flow, I have greatly improved healing of my intestinal health.I highly recommend both the center and the head instructor. Her expertise and interest for teaching in the soft martial arts is truly evident. As an instructor she encourages me and guides me. She has great passion and awareness for this special practice. When you lead with your heart your mind will follow and she does just that. The head instructor is one of the most positive, inspiring, wise and compassionate individuals I have crossed paths with. Her ability to quickly establish healthy and productive relationships with her students is wonderful.I am so grateful to have connected with the warm and always welcoming Lakewood Body & Brain Yoga Center. I always leave the classes renewed, awakened, more at peace and blessed.

This practice has been transformational for me and for my relationship. My partner began practicing at the Lakewood Body & Brain center late last year. Based on his experience and the changes I saw in him, I joined in February. I have become stronger physically, mentally and spiritually. My flexibility has improved immensely! These benefits have changed my life. The major cherry on top has been working with the best yoga masters in metro Denver and getting to meet and know some incredible other members. I highly recommend this center! They offer free classes on Saturdays at least a couple times a month so there is no reason not to give it a try.
