Hmmmmm. Its hard to know how to rate this place. I guess the best thing to do is to say that,…read morewhile I never experienced the high pressure sales others have mentioned, and Master Dan was a very pleasant teacher, I'm not comfortable continuing at this studio. The class I went to was nice and seemed to be just what I wanted in terms of a gentle easing back into exercise after an injury. The problem was I got texts and phone calls from Master Dan at Body and Brain nearly every day of the two weeks I used my membership. There was a lot of pressure to take extra classes and go to workshops. All I wanted was a low key once a week tai chi class, but this felt like something else entirely. Something that just didn't feel right. *** after writing this review I looked up other reviews for Body and Brain locations around the country. I discovered that this group used to be called Dahn Yoga. I strongly suggest that anyone who thinks about going to this studio, google Dahn Yoga first, and then decide if this right for them.

The Korean form emphasizes discrete movements and postures rather than the many movements that have to be strung together in the Chinese forms. I love the Chinese forms ,don't get me wrong. But the practice as taught in Body and Brain is easier and I think more powerful and very very effective movements, creating a free and empowered state of mind.

Loooooooooooove it!!!!…read more The instructors take time to give you information about your body in totality. I knew that your body can heal itself, and they reminded me that I am in control of it all. The instructors take the time to show you proper body mechanics so that you are engaging your mind and your body. This is more than just a work out it is holistic therapy, duh hence the name. I left feeling complete. There are late night classes which is great for the working stiff such as myself. And they are patient with newcomers such as myself hee hee hee. Teatime after yoga is also a plus. Breathing is so essential. And the philosophy, I learned your belly is your second brain & that it can be stronger than your first brain. Additionally, if you can control your core you can channel energy to other parts of your body... This class was phenomenal!!!!

Yo, this place knows how to repre-zen-t…read more I recently visited for the Chinese New Year festivities and the entire experience was one of those kick-yourself-and-say-d'oh! realizations, that here I'd been living in the 505 nearly 20 years and never had the pleasure of the vibrant color, sound and tradition that this center puts together. It's a really fantastic show and it delineates the various age groups and activities that practice disciplines during the rest of the year. And it's a blast to take a toddler: dancing monkeys, a dashing dragon, bounding lions with enormous eyelashes and snapping jaws, that's entertainment, folks. I also managed to sneak in the front door the day prior, there's a lot going on in there. Gift shop, a hall with mirrors, from an architectural and interior design perspective it felt very eastern: covered in bright hues, every inch of the space honored. Even for the novice, this place is well worth a visit. Thanks for letting us in on the celebration, CCC.
