The ladies here (Deanna and Hillary) are fantastic instructors! I recently found out about body and brain yoga and have started classes with them. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and compassionate people who sincerely seek to help people achieve their health and wellness goals. They go above and beyond to cater to your individual needs. I've already noticed benefits and can't wait to see what I can achieve with more practice. read more

The managers at this center are very passionate about helping members. I am a runner and I wanted more flexibility. They teach very effective stretches and I have noticed a difference. After my runs, I sometimes feel wiped out, but after every class I have more energy. They know more than just my name ... they care about my condition and progress. I read more

I meet a Yoga Master, and Reki Master at a meetup , named Kelly. A wonderful, caring, loving person. Who took me by the hand to Brain & Body Yoga in Northbrook. I have PTSD, tried everything I could do, or go to for help, for ten years. Nothing worked. I have been there since last Nov. The whole staff is caring ,and loving, they want to sincerely help you. So are all the people that go there. Kelly is my angel, with yoga everyday, and her being my Reki Master .I am coming to a clear mind, peace, mindfulness, loving myself{and of coarse still loving others], and to be in the moment.I have no shaking in my body anymore, no night terrors. And all the other symptoms of PTSD, in you brain, and body.If it was not for Kelly, I do not know where I would be today! Our new great addition to our staff, is our new manager, Master DEANNA, A Master Energy Healer , and Master Yogi. She is a loving, caring person. So full of energy ,and an infectious smile.She works us hard, but a good hard.She always telling us to smile, it will make us happy, as we work out .

Love this place. Very warm, welcoming place. Wish I could of stayed for longer cause insight it brings to mind, body, soul is quite remarkable. I've done YOGA, Mediation for a good 8 years philosophy this facility it holds, knowledge it brings is something will stick with me for a lifetime. Great instructor never felt so apart of something so unique, different than here at Northbrook location. Its special wish I would of dug deeper into what instructors were saying, doing, reasoning but my time was up. If looking to be apart of a community, learn more about your "temple" body, your whole being. Go join this place. As Americans we might look at this class as different, weird, might feel out of place. But that's beauty of it. Don't have to pretend being anyone but self. It's about being comfortable in own skin. Again wish I had more time to examine their philosophy towards life, unique movements, techniques. It's SPECIAL. Glad to be apart of it. Much love read more

I really like body and brain. I am 68 years old have been a member for 3 months. I have the typical aches and pains of someone my age and this class does wonders for my joints (especially my hip). It is the first class that I signed up for in which I renewed. It is not a lot of cardio or weight training but rather lots of stretching, breathing and relaxation techniques, although many times I work up a sweat. I feel as if I have accomplished something after each class. I feel totally renewed and relaxed after class. And the thing that I like is that I can keep up. It is not so strenuous that that I dread going. I actually look forward to the classes. During the end of class the focus is breathing and relaxation. I have actually fallen asleep. If you are looking for a class that is a bit different from the typical cardo or yoga class I suggest you give it a try. Each class is different so suggest you go every day for at week to learn the different activities. The staff is great. They really want to help you improve your well being. read more

I started here over a year ago. I have adhd, chronic adrenal fatigue syndrome and low blood pressure. For a few years I tried various medications and stimulants. Although they often brought me a surge of energy, it came with some serious side effects like nervous tension, and blurred vision, dizziness. I've been attending classes for over a year now, and I no longer use any medication. I am more focused, in a natural feeling and relaxed way. The understanding of my body's energy systems that the staff has taught me, and that I have experienced through the classes have empowered me to take back control of my life. I am so grateful for this, the daily classes really are changing my life. read more

I attended a retreat here at the Northbrook center called Shim-sung. I was recently diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and my therapist recommended I try yoga and mediation.What I experienced here at the Northbrook center's retreat was horrific and I had a very severe reaction to my experience there. They used negligent unorthodox techniques of emotional purging and self bodily harm towards myself and all other participants. There were many other participants that had a variety of mental/emotional struggles and did not seem to recognize the red flags. I researched the chain online and it claimed to be a cult. They overcharged me for this Yoga 'retreats', but we did not do any Yoga at all. I did my research and found that the founder, Illichi Lee, has been accused of sexually abusing his followers. Be aware that they use a very common cult technique called "love bombing",this is what I experienced. read more
