What I love about Body and Brain is the way that I am able to feel energy or ki. Jeanette, the center manager, led an incredible class on Wednesday night. She has a wealth of knowledge regarding holistic exercises that help the body and calm the mind. I'm very grateful for all the expert instructors at Body & Brain. I feel so relaxed and peaceful after each class. read more

Second time at Brain & Body's Tai Chi & Qi-gong class, and I'm a fan! The instructor is really knowledgeable of applying East Asian energy techniques that improve body circulation & make you feel radiant from the inside out. I also love the commaderie of the class, and the members naturally make you feel included, whether it's your first class or your 100th class. Will definitely be back! read more

5th session later, trying different practices, I feel I have found home. It may feel silly at first however, life isn't that serious. The mind, soul, and body alignment is a must -- my mind is at peace and in absolute relaxation when I am here. I appreciate Panida and the joy she is. Appreciate BBTCY, I love it! read more

Tried out a class here and really loved it, glad I found access to tai chi and Qi Gong. I also got a long private healing session from Elba that was amazing, I feel recentered read more

My family and I tried a Tai-chi and Qi-gong session with Panida and it was such a fun time!! Our bodies and minds felt so much less tense and lighter afterwards, and I didn't expect to experience as much smiling and laughing as I did all throughout class! Panida was also very attentive to our form and helped corrected our alignment whenever needed. Thank you Panida for guiding our family. read more

I can't thank my amazing colleague and friend Jamie for introducing me to this studio. It has open my mind and body up to an amazing feeling during and after class and would definitely recommend anyone who just want to try something different. I didn't know what to expect before the class and afterwards I felt a lot of gratitude and calmness. I also enjoyed the huddle after class and even signed up for their passes to attend weekend classes. If you're able to make it to class at least 3-4 times a week, I would recommend signing up for their monthly pass which is absolutely worth it. read more

Highly recommend! An old friend visited me in LA for the first time and was experiencing extreme fatigue/depression. He was sleeping for days at a time. Had very low energy. When he would talk it would be very low and hard to hear. It was difficult or him to go anywhere. This remained the case everyday until a close friend connected me with Master Albe. My friend highlighted the extreme power that Master Alba has to heal. I became aware of all the others that were healed and I graciously gave Master Albe a call. I scheduled a session with Master Albe and her effect of my friend was night and day. After the session it felt like my friend was back to a normal awake state. Speaking at a normal volume. The ability to walk and talk with normally energy. Both things I hadn't seen since his arrival! It was a breath of fresh air and a huge indicator of hope for the recovery of my friend! My friend and I were able to connect and laugh and it felt like the shadow of depression was lifted. It was a great day to see a beloved friend regain their power and ability to live life! Thank You Master Albe! read more

It's truly amazing like the other reviewers said. I have been suffering from menopause anxiety, hot flash and night sweat for years. After taking 3 Taichi classes with Master Panida, my hot flash and night sweat is completely gone. My anxiety is so much better and substituted with calmer and peaceful mind, and my body feels lighter and more flexible. I'm so grateful for this center and Master Panida. She truly cares about everyone's well being and is also kind and caring. I'm lucky to have found this center and started practicing Taichi. read more

My husband & I signed up for the in-person session, and within the first 20 minutes, I wished that I could leave and get a refund... The lady in the front escorted us to the yoga studio, and the yoga instructor was already teaching her ONLINE class in the corner of the studio! We were told by the lady who escorted us there to, "just follow what she's doing". It was very awkward, jarring, and just weird! The instructor was more focused on her online class. She didn't greet us at all, barely looked up at us, or leave her spot to check on our form. I thought it was very RUDE, DISMISSIVE, & OFFPUTTING for the instructor to pay more attention to her webcam than us. Plus my husband & I were the only 2 people there in person and they made us wear a mask the entire time (with the instructor literally in the corner, 30 feet away from, us wearing a mask too) If I knew this was how it was going to be, then I would've just watched a yoga tutorial on Youtube for free. DO NOT COME HERE if you are looking for a group yoga class. read more

When I first visited this place I was suffering from severe chronic fatigue and anxiety. I began taking classes 2-3 times per week. It took a few months but I began to experience benefits like feeling more energized, relaxed and happy. Eventually I felt so great that I decided go off and start a business! Unfortunately, while running a business, I neglected my Body and Brain regimen and eventually crashed. I restarted my practice here shortly before the pandemic closures. Even online their methods work like a miracle for me. I am back to enjoying life again, working part-time, babysitting grandchildren, gardening and of course practicing Yoga/Tai Chi at Body and Brain in Brea. read more

This center is all about health and wellness of body, mind and spirit. The trainers are outstanding and it is refreshing to see their love of humanity. read more

Body & Brain is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I started last July 2019 and things have shifted for me tremendously. I went from having a lot of fears and anxieties to trusting in myself and that everything will be okay. I have the ability to heal myself. The instructors and healers here are beyond caring and always there for you. I am a trusting yet skeptical person and I believe in this place 110% and their mission. This is one organization I would definitely support for the rest of my life and in hopes that more people read this review and take a chance with their principals for your well being. Thank you Body & Brain for your continued support and I will forever grateful. I can see myself growing with their principals for the rest of my souls existence... read more

So happy that this place is offering online classes during COVID. It has helped me reset my mind and recharge my body during these stressful times. I'm enjoying the variety of classes from tai chi to deep stretching. There is many classes available at different times of the day to fit in my busy schedule. read more

I started coming to this center in January. The instructors and Dahn Masters Elba and Shin are incredible. Right away I was treated with so much warmth and kindness. They truly care about helping you get strong and healthy. Two months later, Covid hit and the center had to closed. They immediately had a plan in place to continue to teach the classes on Zoom and offer seminars and special classes both in the mornings and evenings. I miss seeing everyone in person, but I am still able to enjoy taking classes in the comfort and safety of my home. Thank you Brea Body and Brain! I feel stronger, calmer and more centered. I feel better than I have in years! read more

I rarely review, but this is a place worthy of more than 5 stars!!! I booked an appointment here not knowing what to expect as I know nothing about Tai Chi or Yoga. But I knew they were open 7 days a week and had a very comprehensive yet structured health program. My body and brain was a mess, but I felt at peace by the end of my 45 min trial session. I attended both morning and evening sessions for 2 weeks straight to get familiar with the rest of the staff and people also looking for a healthier lifestyle. It's been almost a month and I feel like a newer, better ME! There's classes for children as well and they have special events around the holidays and throughout the year. I have family on the east coast as well and my mother, who was visiting and familiarizing herself with the Center, is looking to join when she returns home. They have numerous Centers throughout the country and your membership can be paused when on vacation, or you can simply attend another Center where you happen to be. Words cannot express the level of help and dedication the staff AND members offered to me. Whether you're a beginner like me, or an expert like so many I've seen attending the classes, this is THE place for body, brain, and spiritual growth!!! read more

The Brea Body & Brain Tai Chi Yoga Center has made a big difference in my Health and Wellness. The have a unique Style of Yoga that helped heal my back issues that i suffered from for many years and the Medical community wasn't able to resolve I am now a fulltime member and look forward to attending morning and evening classes - depending on my work schedule Because of the specialized training, i no longer have any back pain and my overall health condition is now normal and I am also teaching yoga to family members and friends Thank you Body and Brain Center Brea for bringing Joy and Energy back to my Life read more

Absolutely amazing! I did the 'Chair Yoga & Meditation for Office Workers and anyone' - I almost skipped out, but it absolutely shifted my energy for the best and taught me techniques I will apply to my life/self-care moving forward. THANK YOU! read more

I truly enjoy going to the classes. I have found that morning classes are smaller, and allow the student to benefit from the instructor's expertise. Evening classes are generally larger, however the synergy that results is Amazing. I feel invigorated and ready for anything after attending a class. Everyone always leaves a big smile on their face! read more

I have noticed major improvements in my health, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Dahn Yoga has helped me master my life and raise my awareness. I highly recommend it to everyone and especially anyone who is interested on improving their life and being more connected with themselves and their surroundings! If you want to get physically fit... Take Dahn Yoga! If you want to master your brain & your emotions... Take Dahn Yoga! If you want to discover deeper meaning of life.... Take Dahn Yoga! The Brea Center masters are fabulous and really know who to connect with their students. They really work with you individually to improve your situation. read more

I love this studio! This isn't "quick fix" type of yoga, it really teaches you how to listen and feel your body. I would call it Healing Yoga: the design is very calming and embracing; instructors are loving and encouraging; good variety of classes, like tai chi, bowing, wooden pillow makes me come more often; people are friendly, no one competes with each other, very good energy. I also love their Book Club. read more

I absolutely love the yoga classes here! All the instructors really care about their students, and help students get the most out of each class. Classes are typically small, and you get lots of one-on-one attention. Healing at Dahn is not just about healing your body; it is about healing from the inside-out. I have been a member for nine months, and I have strengthened my physical body and my soul. I am a better person because of Dahn. I am more level-headed, think more clearly and breathe so much better. I feel BALANCED! Thank you to all the great instructors, especially Master Han and Master Jeanette! They rock! read more

Wonderful Place. I definitely recommend a healing session with Master Han. Good Brain Exercises. read more

This really isn't YOGA. Its more of a Korean-based exercise class. They make you wear uniforms similar to Karate uniforms and do some chanting/counting in Korean. I was a student here for about a year and I liked it up until they started to push me into their 'higher training program'.... then it started to smell very religious and 'cult-like'. I did alot of researching on this organization on the Internet and I decided that a traditional Hatha Yoga program was better for me. If you are Strong willed and not easily swept into their zeal for spiritual growth - the exercise they do isn't all that bad. But mind you, they will hit you up for more and more money as you "Progress" in their training regimen. read more

Amazing class this morning! What a Way to wake up on a Sunday morning! Thank you Shoreh! The last 2 Friday 6:30 clases have been such a release of tension and stress! This morning 9am was perfect! Take it from a "feel good junkie", this yoga rocks!! Thanks, Panida!!! read more

Last summer, I was gifted a voucher for three classes by my sister and decided to check out the facility and their classes by dropping in without making an appointment. The studio is located in downtown Brea on Birch, nice and cute. They are on the second floor and the sign only says "Yoga" in purple but as they are the only yoga studio on the street, not too hard to find. I like how you can park on the second level of the free public parking structure attached to the building and just walk in. It's a sunny, cozy feeling space, everything seems to have its place and create a warm feeling which I liked. It didn't really look like my typical idea of an Indian school of yoga studio from outside, no bikini-like yoga clothes or rolled mats in view, but a lot of books about their practice methods and related topics. The staff, or instructors were friendly and they told me that this was a Korean based system of exercise and also the classes are easy to follow but don't expect a conventional yoga class you would expect from 24 Hr Fitness. Well, all I was looking for was something to help me relax and shake off some of my physical and mental stress ever-present in my life so why not! It was definitely different and I mean mostly in a good way. Regular classes are a mix of stretching, meditation, breathing techniques and a special exercise segment that varies each day, either intensive stretching or vibration or using "wooden pillow", etc. They also use music with almost anything they do, from meditative ones to dance music. At first, this felt weird but all-in-all, I do enjoy it now as this makes things more fun and helps you to focus on what you are doing better. I've been going on and off for about a year now and more on a regular basis since the beginning of this year - as a part of my New Year's resolution...hope it lasts - and am beginning to understand what is really going on in my body and "how my body and mind communicate through energy" and that this is a natural thing and I can control emotions and my condition better because I am experiencing these connections first hand. They also have a pretty wide range of programs and hopefully I will try a couple soon and see how they are. So far, I feel that I've gained more room in my mind to enjoy life and physically more stable. I would recommend if you are open to self-cultivation and new methods for fitness, read more

Amazing!!! I didn't know what to expect when I walked through the door but I felt strong positive energy. It didn't take long to see that the good vibes were radiating from the friendly staff and members. I noticed positive changes in mind, body and soul through their methods very quickly. I'm very grateful for the day I strolled in to center for the first time. I look forward to many more trips through those doors!! read more

All I can say about this studio is " You should go and do dahn yoga!". I was completely burned out when I visited this place. As soon as I put my step inside of the studio I started feel peaceful and warm healing sensation so I signed up right away. Now, My life is totally changed which revitalized and healed. I can not imagine my life without this yoga. read more

Yes, this isn't really yoga at all. It's called Dahn Yoga, it's a lot of bouncing up and down and hitting yourself in the stomach, and these Dahn chains advertise a lot by flyers left at local walk in restaurants and chains. It wasn't bad, but I was looking for something more traditional like Hatha Yoga. I definitely wasn't sore after my first visit, and I hadn't done Yoga in close to a decade. IMO, that's not reaching the parts of the body I was intending to reach. That's not Yoga. Also, what the other commenter said about "Zen & Fit" yoga is also true. "They" (the entire Dahn Yoga chain) can be very pushy about putting you into very expensive continuation type programs, etc. I too looked into Dahn Yoga's history and there's just simply too much negative press around them. They are accused of cult like activities, and at one point were being sued by some of their staff who said they had been mislead and were subjected to many cult like deprivation tactics in order to get them (this is the instructors mind you) to invest ridiculous amounts of money into furthering their training with Dahn. The whole thing just smells bad. Like they say, where there's smoke there's fire. If you're looking for traditional Yoga, this isn't it. If you're looking for relaxation and simple moves that you can do from day one, this could be a good fit. Regardless, leave your credit cards at home because they'll be looking for them. read more

...just great. I was getting massages regularly when I decided to try Body and Brain Yoga Center. After 1 visit I quit my massage membership and signed up. It's like fixing your body instead handling the symptoms. I am 65 and have normal difficulties and other issues. The gym doesn't exercise your whole body and is hard on the joints. The classes are a total mix of people and engaging. I recommend you take my advice and join. You won't regret it. read more

The instructors Here are amazing. Very warming and gentle. They keep smiling through the class and create comfortable environment for the members. Along with physical body, this practice also helps with mind & spirit. For me it's been healing and strengthening for daily life challenges. read more

Body & Brain - Brea - This is me after the practice :) - Yoga Near Me - Brea, California

I am so so grateful to find an exercise that I could do with Sciatic Pain, L4L5 injury & torn tendons in both wrists. As a former gym aholic, my injuries caused me to find a new habit of eating until I found Body n Brain. Lots of personal attention from Insructors insured that my injuries were not exacerbated from overdoing it. With Instructors personal care my pain lessened with each month. I noticed almost immediately a difference in my breathing & stress level. After a year & a half of consistent training, I was able to walk pain free, lost 79 lbs & more good news was that I got off anti-Depressants. I am very grateful to get off the pain meds, decline wrist surgeries on both hands & also complete 2 Sprint Triathlons. I am now a Gold member to maintain healthy condition. read more

Body & Brain - Brea - Mucho Aloha! - Yoga Near Me - Brea, California

A few classes a week improved my balance, posture and energy levels. The staff is knowledgeable and interested in helping you to improve in your areas of concern read more

Body & Brain is different in fantastic ways. After only 3 months, I feel at least 10 years younger. I've been to other yoga programs that focus on stretching. That's nice. But Body & Brain helps improve all of you - both your body and your brain. The yoga classes improve flexibility and core strength. And the brain programs are even more beneficial. For example, I attended their Finding True Self workshop. That was a life changing experience that has led to greater focus, serenity, and productivity. The staff are absolutely awesome. They set the standard for what it means to be a complete yoga master. They are warm, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, sensitive, and highly skilled. They teach while leading. I leave every session knowing something new. I strongly recommend Body and Brain. read more

Body & Brain center, Dahn Yoga, Brea, the instructors, all of them and all of it, has given me the strength to change my life for the better. I have never been more in tune to life and the value I have for myself and the universe. I know it sounds pretty intense, and that's because it is. I have found myself in this journey of practicing yoga, not only in the center but in my daily life. I used to practice yoga as an exercise, to sweat and to be flexible. I did not realize that those are the added benefits (side effects if you will) of learning to trust the power within us all. Almost 6 months ago, I was suffering from chronic cough, difficulty breathing, weight gain and many other frequent ailments. All which I understand now were manifested due to the high levels of stress energy I was not releasing. I came in to the center, after having walked passed it for almost two years, because I was finally ready to embrace the need to help myself. Each lesson I learn about the body, about healing, and the connection my mind has with my body is something that is reinforcing the internal knowledge already there. I am happy, I am peace and I am healthy. The Brea Body & Brain center continues to support and empower me to challenge and grow in my practice. read more

I like this place because it's located 2nd floor has sunshine and place to relax. Love Brian read more

Master Amy has a way of a teachings that heals the mind and body! Shes trained for over a decade and I have never felt more relaxed then when I left her class. I've been doing vinyasa and hatha yoga and other forms for over 15 years. Master Elba is amazing as well! Come to all the classes! read more

I've wanted to learn the physical movements of Tai Chi all my life and (finally) decided I was out of excuses. I searched for a Tai Chi studio and discovered Body and Brain in Brea. I have but one word to describe this location: Jackpot!!! Think only high impact exercise gets you results? You will be pleasantly surprised. The classes are super easy, yet so very challenging! And you will receive individual mentoring to achieve/maximize your personal goals. Can't say enough about the location, site, and staff. read more

Great yoga classes, great meditation, great location, great parking, great instructors, great cleanliness (thank goodness!) great music for the style of the class, and a great tea time at the end of class, too! Where's the 10 star button? Here I'm able to hit the "easy button" for my body & mind & energy. What a find. Thank you thank you thank you. read more

I started at Body and Brain two years ago just wanting to learn Tai Chi. It changed my life in so many positive ways! The center is wonderful and they have zoom classes numerous times a day. Fantastic way to stay healthy in this pandemic. I highly recommend to anyone who has joint pain or physical ailments. Amazing programs. read more
