HOLISTIC TRAINING & ENERGY HEALING

Harlem Brain is a social enterprise powered by IBREA Foundation, a nonprofit devoted to spreading health, mental well-being, and peace to individuals and communities around the world with the vision to heal Humanity and the Earth.

We are excited to offer our program, Brain Education, a set of holistic well-being, growth and leadership development processes, to the Harlem community and the wider NYC community.

The program is based on the mind-body connection and applies techniques such as deep stretching, abdominal exercises, breath work, meditation, energy balancing and energy management, body tapping & deep stretching to open the mind and body, vibration, sound healing to release tension, endurance training to develop resilience in body and mind, somatic healing to process past experiences, self-expression to enhance your voice and agency, and more.

It will help you improve:

  1. Your health and body strength

  2. Your emotional wellbeing and stress management

  3. Your focus, concentration, management ability and sense of purpose

It will also help you heal, awaken yourself, evolve.

The learning curve is steep! If you practice regularly, you will gain self-awareness, and insight and develop your capacity to manage your body, mind, and spirit effectively.

It’s for everyone.

all backgrounds, ages, interests, and conditions

The program is suitable for everyone. We would like to challenge the notion that healing and growth are for people who have suffered from trauma. We are all healing, and we are all growing. This is the natural human experience. Our program is for anyone wishing to just be healthier and happier, keep improving themselves, manage their life better, grow as a person, get stronger, evolve, develop their leadership, and help others and their environment do the same. The mind-body training techniques and movements that we apply are simple yet effective. They are not strenuous or difficult. At the same time, they are deeply impactful. The instructors adapt the exercises and processes to your individual physical and mental condition.

train your body,
Train Your Brain

Healing and growth happen from within. The very first step is to come home to your body. All your cells and atoms, muscles, organs, bones, blood, carry so much information from your life experiences, your genes, and your memories, and if we don’t learn to process and manage this information well, we’ll see problems in our physical or mental health. When we learn to tap into our bodies and are guided to process and manage what we see and feel, we can do deep healing in a matter of seconds. Your brain is the conductor of all this information. And your brain is connected to every cell and atom in your body. By focusing on your body and harnessing, circulating, and strengthening the energy in your body, your brain will get clearer and sharper and your mind and body will naturally get stronger. You will gain the power to change the habits you want to change. You will develop your focus, concentration, sense of purpose, self-management - all to help you create what you want in your life. It’s a process, and it requires diligence and commitment.

Brain Education is a comprehensive program that allows you to go through all the necessary steps you need in order to heal, transform, grow, and strengthen. Everything is connected by energy. So by the sheer force of you doing your own internal work, you’ll see people around you heal and grow as well. And the force of collective healing and growth can solve the problems of our communities, Humanity and the Earth.

Youth mental wellbeing is at the heart of our work

We have worked with youth in Harlem since 2015 and have seen how our program can help tremendously their mental health and develop their leadership. When young people develop their wellbeing and strengthen, they naturally lead change in their surroundings. They flourish as leaders and agents of change in their community.

  • "Since taking Brain Education with Harlem Brain, I just always think positively. And when I don't, I have the awareness to see it and I'm able to change my attitude and mind to make it positive. 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."

    — KEVARDO, student at A. Philip Randolph High School

  • "Through the Brain Education program, I realized that my future is truly in my own hands, no matter what difficult situations I may have. I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and just do my very best in any situation. That was a small change in my brain but a huge and important turning point in my life"

    — HASANIA, student at A. Philip Randolph High School

  • “Brain Education has had a great impact on me over the years. It has helped me create a stable environment for myself that is manageable. In my everyday life, I use the exercises I've learned in order to balance or calm myself down, manage my emotions and to focus”

    — 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."

    — SAMANTHA

  • "Attending the classes and workshops in Harlem Brain really help me gain a higher prospective on my life. Through the trainings, guidance and genuinely lovable staff, I was able to heal. The space itself exudes positive energy that you can’t help but to feel at peace when you are there"

  • 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
