I go to the studio in Mineola but had the fortune to attend a worship here. The space is inviting, the people helpful, smiley, and learned in this very ancient practice made anew by the founder of this modality. It's in the practice, and all is forthcoming one of my teachers has said and here is no different. They impart the tools and wisdom and you are equipped with all you need to carry forth your true purpose unhindered and unfettered. Very glad I came and will do it all again. Kamsamidah! read more

Body & Brain - North Merrick - Naïf and that's how we should always be - Yoga Near Me - Merrick, New York

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Body & Brain Yoga and how it has helped me. The strength and flexibility I have regained in my body in just over six months is amazing. But when you add in the "brain" of Body & Brain you start to feel alive again. The cloud of Covid and working from home had me sluggish and depressed. Practicing and working with Master Amy and Master Ilene has helped me see the bigger picture and the joy, love and laughter life brings every day. You owe it to yourself to try a class. It is not traditional yoga. All ages and bodies can do the class. You'll feel wonderful after stretching and relaxing your body read more

Outstanding class, and Staff! my life has been changed since joining body and brain. I have so much more flexibility, stress is gone and I am so patient. It has helped me so much that I took the initiative and took a six day training and became an outreach instructor. Now I can reach out to others and help them feel just as good as I feel all around. Master Amy and Ilen are two of the most compassionate individuals I have ever met and I owe them so much gratitude. I love this place. read more

I have been a member here for about 2 years and this practice has done nothing but help me. I'd say skip over the 1-2 star reviews on here & come to an open class to see for yourself the benefits you can receive from coming to class just 2-3x per week. Yes, there are additional private sessions & workshops you can attend, but when the time is right, those will be recommended to you. Come in with an open mind, open heart & no judgments, you won't regret it! :) read more

Body & Brain - North Merrick - Yoga Near Me - Merrick, New York

Had my first Yoga experience here and loved it. I even take a few classes online now. The energy is great and the instructors are friendly and professional. I really love working with Master Amy. Some of the moves are challenging but all the instructors are patient. There is no pressure to be "perfect" which allows you to relax, focus and allow your mind and body to become one. In the short time since I've started, I can already feel the improvements to my body and my mind. The best is yet to come! Thank you Brain and Body read more

Good energy comes from this location. After college I became very depressed and had a lot of anxiety. I have been attending classes at this location for about 5 years and this practice helps. I've tried different forms of yoga and this type really makes me sweat and relax separately and all at the same time. I've met awesome people here and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. As long as they're here I'll be coming back!!! read more

Body & Brain - North Merrick - Yoga Near Me - Merrick, New York

This is the best yoga studio in long island!!! The space is huge and beautifully designed for a peaceful and meditative experience. Everything is so clean and they offer a variety of classes every day, including core strengthening. They also hold a lot of different workshops each month, focused on healing, and opening the chakras. The manager, Master Dawn is actually featured in the DVD's for Dahn Yoga! She is so welcoming and helpful, and not to mention hilarious. All the instructors are very experienced and work really hard to make sure everyone leaves with a bright and happy smile on their face. Highly recommend a trial class! read more

I wish I could give more stars to Body and Brain. The East Meadow Center has been a warm nonjudgmental place that feels like a second home. Master Dawn and Master Andrew are super knowledgeable and helpful people and I have become more flexible , stronger and more centered in the 7 months I have been a member. My balance has improved tremendously as well. I truly look forward to each and every class. read more

There is this preconception: Once you look good, you feel good. But no matter how much I exercised at the gym, how much weight I lost, or how many muscles I had...I could never feel good. I always felt uneasy and anxious in my body - like whatever I was doing could never be enough. After practicing Dahn Yoga, I realized the feeling I was seeking did not come from focusing on my physical appearance but rather from changing my inner landscape. The Dahn Yoga method guides you to slow down: Both physically and mentally. In this state, I was able to find the deep peace and happiness that I truly wanted. It was an interesting paradox; once this inner shift occurred, positive changes to my appearance, relationships, and outlook on life happened naturally. I am happier, healthier, and stronger than I have ever been. I highly recommend this practice. read more

This studio has such positive vibes the second you walk in! Everyone that works here and all that attend the classes are so uber friendly, caring and sincere!! I've attended multiple sessions with Dawn and one with Beverly, both are beyond encouraging and supportive no matter what level you're at. I also had a private healing session with Dawn and she helped me let so much of my tension and stress go, I felt more like myself again (just recently became a mom and had the session around 9 weeks postpartum). Andrew is the happiest and friendliest Instructor there (super positive and believes anyone can achieve their best, always cheering you on and really has a personal connection with everyone that comes to his studio). Highly recommend this studio to anyone needing to strengthen their minds as well as their bodies. read more

One can easily research the universal benefits of practicing Yoga, therefore, in this review I will focus more so on my opinion on the environment that I have experienced in which this practice of Yoga is conducted. At this location, and within its organizational/business model, you will find all instructors teach with skillful and focused mindsets. Additionally, the internal culture at this location is very inclusive, meaning, it transcends religion, race, sex, national origin, etc...and is composed of love, support and positive healing vibratory sensitivities for all. All one needs to do is to approach this practice with an open mind and heart to experience immediate benefits, mentally, spiritually, energetically and physically. read more

Body & Brain - North Merrick - Body & Brain Yoga. - Yoga Near Me - Merrick, New York

I have been a member at Dahn Yoga East Meadow for going on 3 years now. I had gone to many different Yoga studios before this one, and this by far is my favorite. The Instructors are extremely attentive, and the personal attention that I've received has been unparalleled. Great exercise, meditation, and friendly staff. Great for all skill levels! read more

I cannot say enough about Body and Brain Yoga. I have been taking the online classes everyday since the pandemic. These classes keep me healthy, strong and grounded. The instructors are all amazing and so supportive. There are a variety of classes and times so it is always convenient. A really top notch practice ! read more

Yes, you will leave there feeling wonderful inside and out BUT it is more of an indoctrination than an exercise class. It is also very time-consuming as you are forced to observe certain rituals upon entering and before exiting so what appears to be a one hour class on the schedule turns into a 90-minute commitment and it's really awkward if you come late or leave early. If people were given the option of just popping in for the class instead of having therapy thrust upon them I would have resigned even though it is expensive. I do believe they are genuinely caring people and want to help others grow, which you will, but it is intrusive, there is too much pressure and it does feel like a cult! read more

I love Dawn, Stephanie and the whole Dahn Yoga crew at East Meadow! I've practiced many types of yoga and meditation, but it's really rare to meet Instructors who really live their practice. Everyone here is incredibly knowledgable and very sincere about what they do. I always feel super pumped and happy after classes. It's funny because if I come in feeling tired, I leave feeling energized, and if I come in feeling hyper, I leave feeling calm. I don't know how they do it, but whichever way I'm off balance coming in, I leave feeling better. Dahn Yoga is way different than Hatha or other styles of yoga. It's more like a self development training, where theres workshops and retreats and lots of free special trainings at the Center. I used to be pretty anxious and always felt uneasy in new situations. Since practicing Dahn Yoga, I've completely changed my outlook on life and I'm always feeling positive and open. As I read the latest brain research and Pop Science, etc, I'm seeing more and more how scientists are just now learning the connections between the body and the brain, which Dahn Yoga has been teaching all along! This is really fun to see, because now I know that all the changes that I've been experiencing aren't just a fluke, but they're right on with modern neuroscience. I can say that regardless of your physcial or mental condition when you start, your are sure to feel better after you finish! Hope you find this treasure of a Studio for yourself! read more

Buyer beware: This is not Yoga. I purchased a package from the East Meadow location with the hopes of finding a place to de-stress and improve overall fitness. What I received was attempt to manipulate me into thinking I needed one on one "healing" and beginners classes to purge past "hurts". Candidly, Dhan Yoga if that were necessary, I would seek the care of a mental health professional. It was made clear to me that some of their employees prey on their members in order to obtain more revenue as one of the regular clients came in after a rough day and needed to talk to her "Master" who then convinced her to buy a book to "help" her cope. What really was the deciding factor in my decision to never attend again was that, at the beginning of every class I was told on by the "master" that it was imperative for me to grow only by taking these workshops that are hundreds of dollars. While I do not doubt that some people may find their inner peace there- take this review into consideration prior to buying a package and make the decision for yourself. read more

I take classes at Dahn Yoga in Austin street in Queens which is affiliated with the East Meadow location. I have been attending classes for the last 2 years, twice a week and can only speak positive. I am a happier healthier person for it. When I first found this type of yoga I was not in my right mind. I was suffering high anxiety stress, panic attacks - the medication and treatment I was getting from my psychiatrist and therapist where not alleviating my symptoms. However after all the classes where you learn to exercise, breath properly, meditate my body and mind is calmer and healthier. My heart Dr wanted to know how I had brought my heart beats to a more regular beat. All thanks to this practice. I am Catholic and in no way have they tried to impose any religious or none religious believe in me. There is no pressure but instead a lot of great teachers that care for you and support you. Every class is different and they keep the classes very challenging at all times. read more

This is a great place to practice yoga. The center has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They have a variety of classes and times so you are sure to find something that meets your needs. The instructors are very caring and knowledgable. They guide all members, new or experienced, to get the most out of each class. Since becoming a member, I feel more energized and flexible. The classes not only help me physically, but I end up feeling less stressed and ready to go on with my day. This is a great yoga center. read more

It is difficult for me to believe that Dahn Yoga has not gotten any negative reviews. I will try to make this brief because I donnot want to devote to much time to my sadness when I left Dahn in east meadow after a year of bittersweet experiences. The practice itself is good. Once they see you are enjoying your progress, then pressure tactics for signing up again are unacceptable with exorbitant prices that differ from person to person and sneaky language used to make you think you are getting more time for your $. For e.g. if you were willing to pay this out of network doctor so much $ to save your life, than the $ you spend here is the same difference. Also, it was "black Friday Special" last year. Today only, whip out credit card, pay $1,800 now, The Master, as they are called, "this is like getting 2 years and one year free. Upon further questtioning because I'd learned my lesson, "I asked if this deal included the year I'd already paid for or in addition to it. I was dumbfounded when she turned and said including it. This first year between my membership fee, special Shim Shum weekend Workshop ($330). Others paid more, some less, and one woman I spoke to was able to take it for free. I signed up for some 1 on 1 healing sessions at $120 a pop, She said it was a bargain; very high opinion of herself. Altho I knew this was expensive, I thought it would be beneficial at the time and to some extent they were, until I realized that this "master is not a" trained therapist" and private things that might come up were not handled in a kind, and useful manner. I am embarassed to say I spent almost $3,000 in total for membership, all the things I engaged in or bought in books, and the video with the Master herself on there (Big deal). She had the nerve to tell me "I had a $ hang up. At the end of my year, and after talking with her about everything on my mind and asking for an apology about things she did and said (she did apologize at my request), I could not trust her and never went back. I found out quite by accident through a misdirected e mail that a place called their headquarters pressures them to make a certain amt of $ per month. Beware of Dahn Yoga; don't be their next victim. They seem so sweet and kind; and the practice is good, but will are aggressive and sneaky with $ matters. There are other places just as good and less $. I am writing this now because a good friend of mine asked me about Dahn because she wanted to join with her family and I told her about my experience. Others Beware. read more
