I've been a member with the Kaimuki B&B for about 6yrs now. I've been able to understand how with movement (vibration) you can heal and find your true self. I highly recommend joining this organization for health and understanding your body in ways you're not aware of. There is programs within their teachings like tai chi, qigong, core, and more learning how to connect your mind and body that's very rewarding for your inner health and growth. The ultimate reward is being a better self! read more

Body & Brain - Kaimuki - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Body and brain yoga is an experience unlike any other! Pam was a great instructor! She is very knowledgable and patient. This was my first time trying something like this where you can really be in synchronization with your body. I was very tense in the beginning but after an hour and a half, I was much lighter and felt more recharged. Thank you for a great first experience! read more

As a visitor from New York, I took Tuesday morning body and brain yoga for all levels. I was greeted by the sweetest teacher with the wisest energy. Although I've done yoga before, this class was very out of my comfort zone because it is tai chi-centered. I was impressed with the way that the instructor makes a new practice so accessible to those that are unfamiliar, I felt nothing less than welcomed and inspired! I strongly recommend others to try this class because it truly brought me in touch with my chakras in ways that I never understood before. Even if you've never tried yoga before this class will be extremely accessible to you, it is very low impact and mindfulness centered, so I strongly advise that you open your mind to try it. Thank you Body and Brain Kaimuki :) read more

This was a free class sponsored by AARP! There were 27 of us men and women in a square room. It was very tight & cozy but I guess it was nice that we all could participate! The woman instructor was very nice and friendly. She was very encouraging and always explained all the exercises fully so we would know what & why we were doing it! I really liked the explanations and information behind all the exercises she had us do! Very good positive energy! Btw, I came her a when it first opened and they offered Aura readings which were very interesting! Would love for them to do that again? read more

Body & Brain - Kaimuki - Free AARP class! - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We had a great time taking Holistic Yoga classes. It's always good to de-stress, stretch, and do energy meditation. The environment is very relaxing and peaceful... probably because they did Feng-Shui here for the Grand Opening. :) It really is a comforting place. We do meridian stretching, deep breathing and energy meditation classes. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to get healthy, exercise, lose weight and sleep better. I was able to get rid of my insomnia after 1 month and quit smoking after one year. Mahalo Body & Brian Yoga! read more

Body & Brain - Kaimuki - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was introduced to Body and Brain about 3 years ago. Initially I resisted thinking that I was already doing exercises. After much persuasion, I finally joined. That was the best decision that I made. I have many health issues and had aches and pain. Through body and brain practices, my physical, mental and spiritual health have improved. Recently several of my doctors commented that my health had improved and encouraged me to continue practicing body and brain yoga taichi. Change did not happen overnight but with regular practice things got better. Since I am on the Big Island, I attend classes via zoom. The masters are great. Not only do they help you while observing you on zoom, they also follow up with phone calls to make sure you are okay. Not only has my physical health improved, I find that I am more relaxed and positive. read more

I stumbled upon this place after attending a Yelp Event. Coming with yoga mat in hand I realized that this place is a hidden gem where all you need is YOU. We placed our yoga mats in the next room and started a warm up like no other. The goal was to build heat in our core, clear the mind, and realign. AND IT WORKED! The controlled movements seemed perfectly designed to warm the body and at the same time relax. Master Cat came in like a ray of light, full of energy and ready to play. The hour that followed was full of stretching and movement that challenged us, but above the challenge gave us extra energy. By the end of the class I was sweaty, but felt light and at peace. I was revived and ready to take on the rest of my day. We got a book written by the center's founder Ill Chi Lee. Between the book and that first experience I couldn't stay away. Since then I've been going for a couple months and can see myself coming forever. Master Cat keeps it challenging and above all helps each individual develop the tools to heal themselves, both body and mind. Health issues? You should join. Stressed? You should join. Wanting to be more balanced? You should join. Not sure if you really need anything, but feel like you aren't fully content in life? You should join. Like being around fun and positive people? You should join. Truthfully, it's different, but there is something about it that just makes you feel like your best self- something that is best felt by trying a class. read more

I have gone to various types of Hatha based yoga classes so dahn yoga was new to me. The roots are from Korea with more of an internal focus on chakras & meditation. No downward dog in the classes I've attended so far. Master Mary, the teacher, has a great soul and even remembered my name after meeting me for 15 mins a week prior. All the fellow students are warm & welcoming. Not an intimidating vibe at all - I know some yoga studios can be that way. There is an abundance of positive energy created in the studio. Some of the exercises involve tapping areas of your body to release tension. At the end, the class sits in a circle to enjoy tea and a moment of sharing which is a nice way to feel connected. A great way to calm your mind/destress while strengthening your core. If you're curious, give Dahn Yoga Kaimuki a try this week because classes are complimentary until Sat., 2/16. read more

Brain & Body is a fascinating and exciting journey. It's physical conditioning with guided self energy exploration and so much more. It's a suitable practice for many ages from 20 -120 years old, there's even a special children's weekend program....come a join us for a class....... FEELING IS BELIEVING! read more

I have come to appreciate this new Korean Yoga. I used to go to Bikram and Yoga Kula both of which I really like. Dahn yoga offers an alternative and gentle program of stretching, body tapping, and meditation. After two months of regular class attendance, my shoulders and back have relaxed completely. Dahn is very Taoist and many of the exercises remind me of classical Chinese stretching but in a modern form. I appreciate the "local"/ humble class atmosphere - the very opposite of other Yoga studios which have a lot of glamorous postures and Yoga Barbees. No matter how grouchy I am after work this class lightens me up every time! The instructor is enthusiastic and kind. And there are many follow up/ intensive workshops. If you are looking for tradition Indian yoga postures and music, Dahn Yoga would not satisfy you. read more

Came for a Groupon, stayed on to become a member. I have been regularly attending classes for three months now. I have tried a number of different types of yoga - Hatha, Iyenger, and Bikram. The issue is that I am not naturally flexible, and I struggled with the poses and also feeling as though I was slowing the class down. Dahn yoga is an energy-based yoga that allows each person to work on their own body at their own pace. It also incorporates a significant meditation period each class, which I had not experienced in other classes, which threw in a token few minutes at the end of each session. The Kaimuki location has a different theme for each day - Monday is core day, for example, and Friday focuses on energy. Even though each day has a theme, the sessions are not routine - Master Kat mixes it up and keeps us on our toes. One of the lovely touches is that at the end of each class, there is a short tea ceremony where the participants can share their experiences with each other. This is a nice way to get to know the other members. read more

I have been going to Body and Brain for a few months now and it has helped me in many ways. It is an entirely different experience from other centers and practices I have attended or tried, with a wonderful variety and combination of approaches that leave me always feeling better than when I walked in. I have seen gradual and sustained improvements in my conditioning, flexibility, strength, balance and sense of peace. Thank you! read more

Kate Sawai is a wonderful instructor, always positive and smiling. I really enjoy the positive energy and friendly people.

Dahn Yoga Kaimuki is my happy place. Master Mary will be the reason you keep coming back! She's so inspiring and has such a lovely energy. She always leads class with a focus on breathing, stretching and strengthening. Come to Dahn Yoga Kaimuki if you're looking to feel happier. This center filled with positive energy and if you keep coming back, you will also soon be filled with that very same energy! read more

A great place to relax and unwind. The deep stretches proved to be a great workout. And taking time to focus on my breathing was a deep experience for me, I haven't felt so relaxed. overall an amazing experience! read more

Great Mind-Body classes combine different modalities including stretching, deep breathing, tai chi and yoga movements, and energy meditation. Since joining in Oct 2016 I notice that my daily stress level has reduced and I am able to focus better at work. Symptoms of acid reflux seemed to have disappeared. I'm sure Belly Button Healing has led me to better digestive health. Unique exercises include Brain Wave Vibration, Wooden Pillow, and Solar Body exercises - all so wonderful! Underlying core beliefs such as being the Master of your Consciousness, Living Tao allow one to be better spiritually connected. It is not a religion but a healthier, balanced way of life. I am not one to exercise regularly - but I enjoy the classes so much that I try to go every day. Instructors Master Kat, Vanessa, and Keith are very warm and caring. Other locations in Aiea and Honolulu also have great instructors and a caring environment. My 10 year old daughter is involved with the Kid's Power Brain on Saturdays. Great brain education and mini exercise, yoga and meditation class. The curriculum should be included in every school! The center was originally founded in Korea by Ilchi Lee. He has written several books which are informative and life-changing. You can also find out more about the organization and sample free courses on their website ChangeYourEnergy.com. Seek out the Body and Brain booth at Expos for special membership enrollment prices - I signed up there in October 2016, wish I did it sooner! read more

Every time I come in from Kauai I go straight to this center to become refreshed once again and connect with the energy. I love the wholesome atmosphere and the non competitive exercises. Everything is geared toward helping you relax your body and to help you breathe and smile into total relaxation of your mind and body. I go in feeling so tense and I come out feeling happy and energized. Thank you! read more

I did the 10 class in 2010 when I had a lot of stress and came back now in 2016, when I have a lot of stress. The classes are strong and calming; most of all, I feel a bit more grounded and centered after each class session. Many times, I have too much things going on in my mind and tend to get fixated on those thoughts; as a result, this combination of holistic practices that seem to borrow a lot from meditation, movement, etc., have assisted in promoting focus, stress-relief, and a spirit of groundedness. If you are feeling anxious, stressed out, or overwhelmed, you probably should check out a class session and see how you feel afterwards. read more

I like this class. It is fairly priced.It is on the bus line. It is not too difficult.It is also air-conditioned. read more

I've been taking Dahn yoga classes at Kaimuki for a number of years. I have found the instructor to be very competent and nurturing, helping me to get stronger with every month that passes. I am so happy that my body is more flexible and my mind is more focused. My life is more enriched and meaningful. read more

I have been coming here several months now and enjoy it a lot. The instructors are warm and welcoming and classes suitable for all levels of fitness. It's different from other classes that I have taken before in that they do a little of everything: yoga, qi gong, energy meditation, self healing, opening meridians and chakras and even a little sharing and inspirational words with a cup of tea after the class. The energy there is very positive and supportive. They also offer workshops outside of the classes if you want to learn more, which are encouraged but not forced. Give it a try, they don't pressure you to commit to anything you don't feel ready for! read more

I subscribed to yoga at the Kaimuki center for Dahn Yoga about 6 weeks. Since I have started, I have lost around 10 pounds and my whole body seems to have a better tone---the weight loss is due to deliberate diet (mostly) but I find the "core" yoga exercises change my desire to eat. I wish I had started yoga much earlier! There are good emotional, even spiritual aspects. I'm not expert on the techniques, but there seems to be a mix of (Indian) yoga, (Chinese?) tai chi, (American style) aerobics, and quiet meditation. The personnel are dedicated and helpful. If you want a slower pace, I found that when I went twice at 8 am on Saturdays. Parking in the area is good, especially if you are willing to pay. read more
