Support and follow-up is poor. They're constantly recommending more services that require money. Seem a bit occultist

I've had one of the most self realization moments doing this practice. I've been able to heal a lot of my past wounds through my inner work with Master Tatiana. With all that's going on in the world, it's so important to be grounded. This place offers that fertilization. Thank you so much! read more

Felt more like Marine basic training than a yoga class. I've been looking at this place for 3 years now, but could never afford it. I got a Groupon offer of 10 classes for $50 (80% off), so I jumped at it. I've been to 3 classes and already dread going...I'm almost afraid I'll get hurt there, which is the exact opposite of what yoga is about. First you do this 'abdomen tapping' which is just what it sounds like, which was okay. Then the drills start...I'm surprised our instructor didn't have a whistle. Positively barking at us to keep up with her--intense stretches and poses that you have to hold for 3 minutes or more, and when you can finally release, she instantly put us in another one. Saying 'just relax' while you're on your back with your feet thrown over your head and toes pointed was not possible for me. Another agonizer was holding your feet at a 45 degree angle, for an interminable amount of time. Some really buff guy behind me said afterwards that it was a great workout, but I was expecting a more Hatha-type experience. I also didn't like the canned music, which seemed artificial and manipulative to me (drums we go fast, bird sounds we relax). Maybe it was just this particular teacher...but it wasn't my kind of yoga. read more

Not to be confused with "classic" yoga. It focuses more on your energy centers and channels (upper, middle and lower), mindfulness, breathing & meditation. Excellent way of winding down and feeling completely relaxed while burning calories, before or after a long day. I go to the Missouri City, TX one and Masters Yoosoo & Lloyd are just awesome. Love them read more

I can't believe I forgot to review this place! I am also one of the Groupon purchasers. Dahn yoga, which I later learned from my Korean friends, is actually a cult. LOL. The instructor strongly encouraging me to wear white (I don't own any white shirts, so showed up in grey the next time, but was not scolded), focusing on the breathing so much, combining weird music at all times, and forcing everyone to hold hands/talk about the session while drinking tea at the end... it all makes more sense now. And the mystical "gi" stuff, oh please, it's called proprioception. This was not for me as I prefer hot yoga. Some people seemed to enjoy the slower pace (evening class), so as long as you don't attend their brainwashing camps and donate $, exercise is exercise. read more

I was staying with a friend in the Bronx and visited the Dahn Yoga center with her on several occasions. The atmosphere was very peaceful and welcoming. I really enjoyed the class style. I have tried other types of yoga but non of them left me feeling as relaxed as this class. I felt energized and my body felt more open and well stretched. The instructors were friendly and informative. I liked having tea together at the end of class. Plan on looking for a Dahn Yoga center near home when I leave. Barbara read more

I hate this place. I got a Groupon for $20 for 20 Yoga classes throughout the city (five max at this one). After my first class here, a tall Asian man (the owner, I believe) called me out and informed me that I would have to take all five classes by the end if the month (within TWO weeks)! This was NOT stated on the Groupon and I told him that but he persisted. My second class was horrible and GRUELING, even though it was supposed to be Tai Chi. I described the workout to others and everyone said it was definitely NOT Tai Chi. This man also announced to the class that I was there with a coupon!!! Needless to say, I never returned and never will . He humiliated me and made me feel horrible, which is the exact opposite of what Yoga is supposed to be about. I have since gone to another Yoga studio in Manhattan and the instructors there are the opposite of this guy, they are warm, kind, and caring and I am going to continue with them as a full-paying customer. Stay far away from this place, he is NOT a nice person, he is very unprofessional, and the classes are NOT at all relaxing!!! read more

I practiced dahn yoga for 4 + months and enjoy it because it helps me my aches and pains. I have been felling so much better since i joined dahn yoga in body and spirit. I enjoyed stretching , taichi ,rhythem and meditation . It has also helped me control my emotion and dealing with people read more

I love Dahn Yoga! Dahn Yoga changed my life! Before join this training. I was feeling depress and tired often. But now I feel energized and refresh. They do stretching, body tapping, brething and meditation in the class. It is so fun and I always feel so relax after class. I am so grateful to all instructors who are very kind and caring. I am so happy about the fact that I found Dahn Yoga. I love to continue my training in Dahn for better health! read more

Awesome yoga studio. Not to strong. I once went to a center where they did all of these weird poses and the teachers made you feel like a loser for not wearing their 'gaiam' style size 2 yoga outfits. I felt great afterwards. And everytime I take the class, I feel better and better. I travel alot, so it's great to have locations all over the U.S. Check it out. read more

Less than 2 months ago I joined Dahn Yoga at the Bronx Center on Williamsbridge Road. This I did after attending one week of free classes. I feel is one of the best things I've done for my body and my mind. In every class you are encouraged to go at your own pace but to push yourself a little so you can progress. They do meditation to relax your mind and body but before you can calm your internal energy your body most be in good form and strong. Every class I've taken, I feel, have been leaning toward that goal. When I started I was afflicted with seasonal allergies, frequent back and muscle pain. I had trouble sleeping and concentrating. After a few weeks my allergy symptoms are gone, back pain is almost gone completely and my body feels so much stronger. I'm not saying that my experience, so far, is going to be the same for everyone but most members and non members who have taken a few classes had expressed the positive changes they have experienced and it shows. Give it a chance and people will be asking you about what you are doing and they will want to do it too. Now I bring my children with me when ever there is chance for them to get out of school work. They enjoy it as much as I do. I strongly recommend it for everyone. Embrace the opportunity that is in-front of you and enjoy the journey toward a better you. read more

I love Dahn Yoga! I've taken other forms of Yoga over the years but never seemed to stick with the classes for one reason or another. I've tried private trainers, the gym, power walking, Zumba and none of these helped me gain the level of energy, flexibility, balance, peace of mind and fun that I'd been seeking. In just six months I have more energy and focus than I've ever had! I especially love the workshops offered by Dahn Yoga and the fact that I can attend classes at other Centers while I'm traveling. I get to know myself better while, at the same time, meeting so many great and diverse people. I have finally found a community of people who support each other towards health, happiness and peace. read more

I'm actually a lifetime member at the Morris Park Bronx Dahn, and I stumbled upon some reviews tonight right after going to Yelp to look for something else:):) I'm always interested in knowing where other Dahn locations are in case I happen to be in that neighborhood in time for a class;)) I've had some awesome class experiences with Dahn; and although I don't like to be negative, I also have to be honest and say I've had my share of disappointing moments. I've had some fantastic instructors and masters, and then I've had some with whom you just don't click. Its as if they expect you to agree with them and follow along with their opinions or else there's "something wrong with you". I'm generally a very happy person, but when someone repeatedly says "smile...smile", or starts to give unsolicited "advice on life", it starts to feel patronizing and I have to admit it does become excessive. I've had masters and instructors who virtually never said "smile", but for some reason the wonderful energy and vibe they gave off made you want to smile nonstop. Those instructors or masters were welcoming, warm, insightful, knowledgeable, but not pushy, not sarcastic, not imposing, not patronizing, etc... I used to have awesome teatime experiences, until a master or instructor (i forgot his title 2 years ago) would pry for me to talk and share if I still happened to be in a calm after-class moment and if I wasn't really ready to share at that moment. Maybe because my thoughts were not ready yet. Maybe I wanted to sit quietly for another few moments. He would frequently say "come 'on, gimme some good news" or, to me personally, he appeared to be very loud and wordy during class, which actually prevented me from focusing. Yes the masters, in their own defense might say something like, "you need to focus within and then chatter won't seem bothersome", but I'm not a yoga-pro like they are, and from my personal experience, I did better when the instructor didn't have the (figuratively) talking-a-mile-a-minute approach. But I still agree that there is some truth to sometimes tuning certain things out and focusing within. I had some awesome healing experiences, and then I had a few puzzling healing experiences. Some healiings were wonderful, however I also felt disappointed when during a healing, a lady master 2 years ago started convincing me to spend some extra money and upgrade to a Gold membership. Couldn't she pick a better moment to talk about it? I was starting to relax in the healing, and then she just wouldn't stop trying to convince me to upgrade my membership. The prodding felt excessive to me. It didn't feel good to have someone try to repeatedly convince me to upgrade my membership, and during a healing to boot (where I should be relaxing). It seemed like she couldn't understand why I wanted to drop the topic. I started to feel drained and worn out because it seemed like she was determined to get me to upgrade my membership, regardless of what I said to her. She wouldn't take no for an answer. She wouldn't take "not now" for an answer. She didn't seem to care that I said its a little too expensive and I'm not ready to spend more money. She didn't care that I said that my silver membership was good enough for me. Why couldn't she just leave it alone if I'm not welcoming an upgrade at that moment, or ever. Besides, I'm already a lifetime silver member. I wish she stopped with the prodding. This was another thing which made me start to feel resentful. Because I'm a lifetime member, I keep going and I hope for a good experience each time, as I've had good experiences there before. Yes some masters seemed to impose for you to spend $$, but if I feel a workshop isn't for me, I'll pass. I got better with telling them to please stop prodding me if I seem apprehensive about spending my money. I had another master who, during a healing, told me my body seems too tense and maybe I "need a man" and then I'll relax. I felt that was an inappropriate comment, but customer service told me maybe he didn't mean it that way. Who knows?? Then what way did he mean it?? That definitely did not feel appropriate too me and made me feel uncomfortable and resentful for some time. I did express to him that it made me feel uncomfortable. I told him that if I can't do a move, then I don't need any sarcastic remarks from him but rather just show the proper way & a modification to get stronger in the meantime & eventually get the move right. I've taken some classes at the Westchester location, and so far the energy is great and the masters are awesome:) They seem so pleasant and they don't make remarks if you can't do a certain move. They seem understanding and will guide you and show a modification, and they will not make you feel like something is wrong with you for not completing a move. I feel a good vibe in the Westchester studio. The Bronx has a new master now too. Hopefully that goes wel read more

Metered parking is available around the building. The studio is very aesthetically pleasing, and clean. Upon arrival (15 mins early as instructed), shoes must be removed prior to entering the studio. Inside, nobody was waiting at the reception desk and there isn't a sitting area so you just kind of sit at the desk waiting. There aren't lockers to store your items, more or less a large walk-in closet where you can change and it looks like regulars store their mats and yoga outfits (?), so not too crazy about lack of a secure place to put my purse etc. waited for over 15 mins at the desk with no signs of reception. 4 elderly people trickled in as I was waiting. And each person went in to the studio and began what sounded like counting and breathing exercises led by the instructor. Ended up just going right into class after waiting with no sign of reception. It's definitely a different sort of yoga that incorporates chakra alignment and more visualization exercises that I could do without. I'd say the poses weren't as intense as I usually like but it's better than no exercise at all. Instructor was very nice, and there was no sense of a cult vibe or any discussion about wearing only white. Was greeted by one of the owners on the way out and she was very welcoming. Worth checking out if you are curious. read more
