Body and Brain is not a typical yoga studio. Practice is focused on uniting brain and body. Users learn to create and move energy while activating the body's natural power to heal itself. No prior experience with yoga is required in order to benefit from this practice. This program can really benefit people with injuries, those who may have never exercised, older adults, kids and teens who want to improve focus and reduce anxiety - basically there's something for everyone. read more

This a super studio to get in touch with yourself and join a community of like minded friends. There are classes in yoga, a yoga that helps empower your brain and body, Tai Chi with moving meditation and other energy classes. Where else can you spend a minutes after class with a cup of tea and conversation about your "workout". The staff is caring and great fun. read more

Before I came in, I just thought it's a simple yoga class but after I took a private session, I felt more like holistic wellness. Elba helped me relieve the stress and emotions. I feel very connected to myself. read more

This is probably the only place Where I feel truly connected. I have practiced other types of yoga and nothing compares to the healing I get at brain and body. The staff is so wise and knowledgeable, they are well informed of how to heal the body and Can recommend the most efficient resources. I love how they always have different work shops for our growth and the community is a great association to be part of. Im so glad I found this practice so you early in my life because it's definitely something I want to pass on to my children, they have many classes and even on Sunday's. I tell everyone I know about this practice ‍ read more

Now, I'm not one to write too many reviews. Only if a place is fantastic am I compelled to write a review... and Brea Body & Brain IS FANTASTIC! For those of you who have thought about yoga/meditation but haven't yet gone to a facility, this is not only the right time to start... but this also the PLACE to start. I've been doing meditation for about 8 months at a location in West Covina (it closed down, unfortunately), however, this place blows the other one out of the water. Just in the pure relaxation and energy you receive (and feel) in this place after sessions is incredible! Through my personal transformation, the following describes how I feel now compared to how I felt prior to Body & Brain Yoga: OLD PETER: I was stuck in my own mind's activity (I had a hot brain! You'll learn more about that later :D ). NEW PETER: I am now in a state of peace! I've learned the process of "water up - fire down" and it's had a tremendous effect on me on a day-to-day basis! ________________________________________________________________________ OLD PETER: I was living life day-by-day with a low level of energy and felt as if every day was mundane, stale, plain and uneventful. NEW PETER: I am now filled with passion, love, peace and energy! ________________________________________________________________________ OLD PETER: I would always worry about the outcome of events... stressing every day concerned about how bad things "Could" turn out. NEW PETER: I am now centered, calm and relaxed without the toxic thoughts of being in despair! ________________________________________________________________________ OLD PETER: I was very prone to stress over the small things... seeing life as place of scarcity and through eyes that told me "the more you lose, the more I gain"; this put a lot of pressure on me NEW PETER: I am now free of stress... viewing the world as a wonderful place to be in, and loving every day in a mental state of abundance and gratitude! ________________________________________________________________________ OLD PETER: My mind and body always felt like it was in a box, trapped and uneventful, living through the same routine tasks every day NEW PETER: The best word to describe my lifestyle now is "Expansive", without limitations and seeing the world through the eyes of love and connection! ________________________________________________________________________ OLD PETER: My interactions with others was "stiff". What do I mean by this? While socializing with others... I didn't feel a great connection, as if words flowed out of my mouth without meaning. NEW PETER: I not connect with others, both people I know and people who are complete strangers. I am filled with compassion and love towards everyone I come in contact with! Overall, to put things simply, what I'm trying to say is... JUST DO IT! I would say to "Be All That You Can Be"... but I believe that slogan has already been taken... lol In any case, the moment you take your first step is the moment you open up yourself to brand new possibilities, possibilities that you will have never known existed. I encourage you to open a new page for yourself and experience not the struggle that you could be currently living in, but experience a new you... a new you with meaning, power, love, compassion, peace, joy, and fulfillment! I've learned so much about myself, and I want you to experience the same. I invite you to join us now, and be awe inspired at just how beautiful you are! -Peter read more

Body and Brain is a place of growth and healing and relaxation. They are very passionate about education and helping you become your best self. My favorite instructor is Shoreh, but all of the class leaders are very loving and caring. They offer many classes not only at this location, but all around Los Angeles. Try them out! read more

Since starting this yoga 1 year ago, I have seen such growth, mentally and physically. It has helped me to become more balanced and at peace with everyday stress, helped my social skills and gain confidence, as well as strengthen my mind and body. It is different than any other yoga I have tried, really! I am not just saying that. It even helped me heal and detox from years of medication. I recommend it to anyone open to try something new and fun!!! I trust in this natural approach 100%. Thank you Body and Brain staff for all of your support and unconditional love! read more

the class was fine, it was pretty relaxing. but the push to buy a membership i didn't want was exceedingly uncomfortable. i said what i was looking for, they didn't offer it & held me back an extra 20min trying to convince me to buy their monthly membership for $100 or their three-month membership for $360 (which makes no sense btw) read more

Place is cool, I like it! If you're looking to burn calories go to 24 HR fitness. If you want to get spiritual and learn about eastern culture and meditate come here. read more

I had a great experience here. The class made me feel so relaxed and recharged. I like the fact that I'm not packed in like a sardine with 50 sweaty people. Great for beginners and intermediates. read more

I really enjoy my practice with Body and Brain Yoga. I came here at the recommendation of a friend in Denver. She swore it would help me with my sleep. After 15 years on Ambien and no help in sight from Dr. to get off of it, I am Ambien free after 3 months of this practice. This practice is unlike any other as it really focuses on the mind and body connection. read more

I love Yoga Brain and Body! Everything about this place is awesome. The staff is warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The classes are a great way to reconnect to your body, de-stress, and gain flexibility. I also like how really anybody of any age and any ability level can do the classes. There are always ways to modify the moves. As a chiropractor in Brea, I always tell my patients about this place. Try it out! read more

I walked in the door 2 years ago after eating sushi for lunch downstairs. I didn't really have any intention of joining.... I was mostly just curious. After sweating through the first introductory class, I was "converted!" If I don't make it to class at least twice a week, I feel like I've cheated myself out of one of life's great pleasures. I think I lost 20 pounds and 10 years. Can't say enough good things!! read more

i have practiced Dahn Yoga for over 11 year, i had a very high end job with demanding duties witch caused my health to fail me and i was only 27 years. Within my 1 month of my practice i quit smoking. i was able to manage my stress at work and became happy. Something i realized i have been missing for so long. For myself because of my experience and result this is the best place. i also have lost 85 pounds. To me my health happiness and Peace has no value. Sometime we spend our money and never see the value of what it was spent on. I can show the value i have spent of my self and is well worth it. Thank you Dahn Yoga for your guidance. i don't care what anyone says, my experience is what i believe not something i just read. :) read more

I am so happy that I found Body & Brain Yoga. It has changed my life! I love the stretching and the exercises, and I always look forward to coming to class. I feel much healthier after yoga class, and I am much calmer. When I first came, I was experiencing terrible pain in my right knee. The pain has completely disappeared! The training has helped relieve the stress of daily life. In fact, I have never felt better. I am 64 years old and feel like I am 25. I will be forever grateful to Body and Brain! read more

Finding Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi was a savior for me! I am quite experienced with yoga but due to injuries I needed something more gentle and restorative that was still active and this center has been my go to! Everyone there is so kind and welcoming - they even serve tea after, which is a lovely way to end the class and connect with community. I always leave this place feeling more relaxed, more connected and happier! read more

I just have to give a shout out to the amazing people that work and attend Body and Brain. They are warm, welcoming, and just plain great people. My daughter loves the classes and they not only help with her fitness but also her anxiety. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a terrific form of exercise in a happy positive setting! read more

Body and brain yoga is a place of healing and relaxation. Coming here has been helping me a lot with my back and neck pain. I've been to physical therapy and chiropractor but nothing helped. Since coming here my pain has been slowly going away and I feel happier. I highly recommend and it is worth a try ! read more

Body N Brain is the best Yoga ever created, you use your Body and your Brain together, brilliant Thank You , Also love the location , and Amy Lange and staff Rocks read more

PLEASE DONT GO HERE. I PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL REGRET IT. You truly don't know what your getting yourself into. First of all their sweet calm voices and compassion is fake. They make you feel like your great until you have to cancel. They make you think what they say is best but your forced. They can't take the word NO THANK YOU. THEY DONT LISTEN. Let's be honest. It's true. They asked me to join them and then have the nerve to charge me for a class I truly never was warned or let know of. Integrity.....Then they talk to you into joining them. Nothing is free. Trust is big. Broken. Broken. Broken. Fail. Fail. Fail. They don't speak well of massage envy which in turn is not a good work or business ethic. If you teach goodness and healing just for your information that is not a good trait. A basic membership their is over 500 bucks plus. Then after 3 months what more money you will have to dish out. There truly is more. I promise and have proof of their true physical integrity. Not only of their business ethics but of how they truly don't care. read more

I have been a very happy member of Body and Brain Yoga for a year now and absolutely love it. The instructors friendly and their classes are never routine. I always leave with a smile on my face and feeling peaceful and relaxed. I just renewed my membership for three more years! It's the best! read more

I have been doing this for many years. It really is a good way to relax and just fall into this nice peaceful zone. It has been a while since I have done it but if you're on the fence about delving into this, you might as well do it. There's really nothing to lose. read more

I love going to Body & Brain Yoga. The staffs are so warm and friendly. It is the place where I can relax my mind and my body after a hectic day. Through the daily practice, I was able to overcome chronic insomnia and learn how to use mindfulness to work with negative emotions. read more

This is a place not only provides you the physical exercise but it provides you the mental exercise. Honestly you need mental exercise more than physical. Perfect combination of Yoga, Taichi and some other forms. I was a person who loves fitness and exercises. I was associated with 24hr fitness center. I was thinking yoga are for old people who can't do much. But my perception changed when i joined this center. I had some neurological issues where medication didnt help. After many years, my neurologist said to start mindfulness and Taichi. In search of Taichi, I found this center near my home. It took me 2-3 months to understand the concept and philosophy of the training. with lots of hard work i completely left medication. I am a long term member now and i love going the the place and try to be at least 3-4 times a week. Master Amy is the best. If you are looking for inner healing.. this is the best place. read more

I was practitioner at this center for six years, since it first opened, and I can tell you it is a great place. I really think the previous reviewer is gullible to believe the stuff that started spreading on the Internet a couple of years ago. What she calls "chanting/ counting" is just counting in informal Korean, just like they use in Tae Kwon Do studios. How she can call that chanting is beyond me. There is definitely nothing about this exercise that is any more "religious and cult-like" than any other form of yoga. All forms (there are many, none "real" or "fake") of yoga have a spiritual element because that's what "yoga" means--unity of body, mind, and spirit. Please, don't fall for the fear mongering. Try it and find out for yourself. read more

I was born with a broken right arm (clavicle/shoulder blade) I was always considered left-handed even though every test I ever took showed my right hand grip was stronger than my left. Three years age I fell from a ladder landing on the concrete slab below on my left shoulder. I was very lucky I didn't hit my head and after all the tests (ultrasound/MRI) they couldn't find a broken bone but it was excruciating pain for about 3 months and I was unable to hold my left arm above my head for 2 years after that. I was a general contractor so that meant I was out of work. In my third year I took a crossing guard job because I could finally get my arm over my head again though not for long periods of time. Flash forward to 2 months ago I was over at my friend Tim's house and as it turns out his wife Jan is an instructor at Body & Brain in Brea. She showed me a yoga move called "plate balancing" even though it kind of hurt at first it felt great overall I could immediately tell it was doing me a lot of good. So I started doing it every day and even though I was sore it wasn't too much to do every day, twice a day so I made it part of my routine while I was doing crossing guard duties. I increased the reps to 30 per side twice a day and did it consistently for the last 2 months. Then something happened as my left shoulder was getting stronger from the ladder accident my right shoulder was getting incredibly sore until it finally gave way and suddenly felt normal without pain. I am happily surprised and can only give the credit to this "plate balancing" move. On a side note my breathing is at least 50% better and that's saying something because I have been on a CPAP machine for 15 years. Needless to say I also sleep better and don't feel as stressed out as I once did. I just started going to class once a week about a month ago and I already have doubled my energy level. I hope to start coming to class 3 times a week in the near future as I make it a priority to have yoga become a part of my weekly routine. Think about it; I just got full use of my right shoulder last week after a wearing a cast immediately after birth. I am 59 years old. Simply amazing!!! read more

Thank you Brea Body & Brain Yoga. I really enjoyed my experience. My body was so much more flexible after the class. Good atmosphere, energizing class, good instructor. I have heard wonderful things about the brain and energy classes, and I am anxious to start them. Thank you to my doctor, Edward Jang, and to Andrew Phillips for recommending this to me. Linda read more

I was highly disappointed. I went in for a private lesson and expressed my goal to increase flexibility through yoga. The instructor/owner assured me that I could met my goals and encouraged me to go to a class. Well, the class was belly exercises, repetitive counting, chanting "yaya" and singing ten little monkeys. I walked out of the class confused and disappointed. When I asked to meet with the owner she began to sell me on the cult experience instead of addressing my concerns. I would not recommend this place, I was mislead and now am out $200, only frustration to show for it. read more

My husband of 54 years was slowly dying with Parkinsonism/dementia and I was lost. It was 2009. I saw a brochure for Dahn Yoga-Brea at my nail salon. The cover was beautiful and it said "Complete your Soul". I went to the center that day and signed up. There I found a complete program for the growth and completion of my soul, healing for my physical and emotional pain and a supportive community. The osteo arthritis that had caused me years of pain has disappeared. Because of my Dahn Yoga Training, I feel happy most of the time, full of joy with all that I have learned and can give back to others. I know my vision and my purpose. I recommend Dahn Yoga-Brea to anyone who wants to be healthy, happy, joyous and free and lead a more satisfying and powerful life. Judy S. read more
