Creating a healing society sounds like a big goal; however, a team of health instructors, coaches and advocates working together as Body & Brain Foundation San Diego are doing their best to make it happen.

          This local chapter of the national Body & Brain Foundation wellness organization offers free or low-cost community classes in Asian-style restorative yoga, a blend of tai chi and qigong called DahnMuDo, and a variety of self-healing acupressure techniques, as well as workshops and wellness event presentations to promote mindfulness and healthy longevity. They also provide on-site “Wellness At Work” contracted instruction services for businesses, government and private organizations.

          Body & Brain Foundation is a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit organization established to make instruction in holistic mind/body/spirit practices and health principles available where people might not have access to commercial Body & Brain Yoga, Tai Chi and Wellness centers. The local non-profit chapter’s instruction is grounded in traditional Asian integrative health principles, updated with the addition of modern brain plasticity theory, intestinal health and other research findings of Body & Brain’s nationwide medical partners.

          Volunteer instructors undergo continual training in order to offer their best to their communities.  Local Body & Brain Foundation San Diego instructors can often be found at Women’s Clubs, in city parks, at military and veterans’ events, at senior centers and at non-profit community locations such as the Alta Vista Botanical Garden. “Our instructors love sharing healthy living and making their communities stronger,” says local chapter team leader, Susan Henry.
