HOLISTIC TRAINING & ENERGY HEALING

Harlem Brain is a social enterprise powered by the IBREA Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting health, mental well-being, and peace worldwide, with a mission to heal humanity and the Earth.

We’re excited to offer our Brain Education program, a holistic approach to well-being, growth, and leadership, to the Harlem community and the wider NYC area.

This program is built on the mind-body connection and includes techniques such as deep stretching, abdominal exercises, breathwork, meditation, energy balancing, body tapping, vibration and sound healing, endurance training, somatic healing, and self-expression. These practices help open the mind and body, release tension, build resilience, and process past experiences.

By participating, you’ll experience:

  • Improved health and body strength

  • Enhanced emotional well-being and stress management

  • Better focus, concentration, and sense of purpose

You will also heal, awaken, and evolve, gaining deeper self-awareness and insight. With consistent practice, you'll develop the ability to effectively manage your body, mind, and spirit.

It’s for everyone.

all backgrounds, ages, interests, and conditions

The program is for everyone. It’s designed for people of all backgrounds, ages, interests, and conditions.

We want to challenge the idea that healing and growth are only for those who’ve experienced trauma. In reality, we are all constantly healing and growing—that’s simply the human experience. Our program is for anyone who wants to improve their health, increase their happiness, manage life better, develop personally, become stronger, evolve, enhance their leadership skills, and help others and the environment do the same.

The mind-body training techniques we use are simple yet highly effective. They are not difficult or physically demanding, but they create deep, lasting impact. Our instructors tailor the exercises to meet your unique physical and mental needs.

train your body,
Train Your Brain

Healing and growth start from within. The first step is to reconnect with your body. Every part of you—cells, atoms, muscles, organs, bones, and blood—holds vast amounts of information from your life experiences, genetics, and memories. If we don’t learn to process and manage this information, it can show up as physical or mental health issues.

When you learn to tune into your body and are guided to process what you see and feel, you can experience profound healing in just moments. Your brain acts as the conductor of all this information, connected to every cell and atom in your body. By focusing on your body and strengthening its energy, your brain becomes clearer and sharper, and both your mind and body grow stronger.

As you do this, you’ll gain the power to change the habits you want to change. You’ll improve your focus, concentration, self-management, and sense of purpose—all of which will help you create the life you want. This is a process that requires commitment and consistency.

Brain Education is a comprehensive program that guides you through the essential steps to heal, transform, and grow. Since everything is connected by energy, your internal work will not only benefit you, but also those around you. The collective force of healing and growth has the power to address the challenges facing our communities, humanity, and the Earth.

When young people improve their well-being and strength, they naturally become leaders and catalysts for change in their communities, flourishing as agents of positive transformation.

This has created a huge change in my outcomes, it is a very empowering thing. I do the breathing and meditation techniques I learned often - to calm myself down and clear my mind."

  • "Through the Brain Education program, I realized that my future is truly in my own hands, no matter what difficult situations I may have.

    — JAYDEN, student at A. Philip Randolph High SchooL

  • "Coming to this center was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. The training that I received from the Harlem Brain center is so unique and transformative. It naturally helped me overcome anxiety, created a sense of belonging within myself, and showed me that I have control over my body and mind. I left every session feeling empowered and it gave me another reason to continue forward despite the challenges. Training with Isabel, the head master, has made such a huge impact on my life. I’m no longer afraid of life. I feel alive and excited for what’s to come."

  • "I’ve been a member at Harlem Brain for about 4 months now. I was intrigued by the center’s name as Brain knowledge and body connection has been something I’ve been interested in for a while. Becoming a member is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. The level of sensitivity I feel is indescribable. I feel so much more connected to my body than I have ever felt. I can more easily tap into myself and notice where in my body I have a blockage or pain and apply the techniques learned in class to release and process my emotions. I feel very supported, seen and loved in the sessions and If you know anything about healing, feeling safe and trusting your trainer is key. In summary, I have stopped taking medication that I was taking for focus and stress and I know the benefits that I have had are accessible to anyone."

  • I came into Harlem Brain thinking it was just going to be physical-like a yoga or pilates class. Although it has a physical aspect and my health, flexibility, and insomnia have improved so much since committing to this program (i attend 6 days/week whenever possible) I have also noted my mental, emotional, psychological health has been improved so much and i am noticing a clear “ripple effect” in impacting my relationships and people around me in such a positive way
