The Difference

Body and Brain Yoga & Tai Chi is similar to other forms of mind-body training, but it can be distinguished by three unique characteristics:

The Body-Brain Connection:

Body Brain Yoga & Tai Chi sees the brain not simply as an organ, but the center of the whole human body and energy system. Through a comprehensive system called BEST (Brain Education System Training), one can see more clearly how Yoga, Tai-Chi and Meditation effect and change the brain.

Step 1: Sensitizing

Awakens the five senses, improves physiological functioning and encourages brain and body awareness.

Step 2: Versatilizing

Creates flexibility in brain circuitry, freeing the brain from rigid habits and opens practitioners to new information.

Step 3: Refreshing

Clears emotional residue, encourages a positive life perspective and develops emotional intelligence.

Step 4: Integrating

Unites diverse areas of the brain, enhances communication between the hemispheres and releases latent abilities.

Step 5: Mastering

Empowers authorship of life purpose, enables greater executive control of the brain and expedites decision-making processes.

The Use of Energy:

Body and Brain Yoga & Tai Chi is rooted in the principles of Oriental Medicine, which targets the healing and balance of the major organs, acupuncture points and twelve meridians. Ki /Chi /Qi is the main source of energy flowing through our bodies and the universe. Practitioners will better understand the principles and the practice of managing the accumulation and distribution of this power.
