This has been a great find, after many years of Pilates/Core Aline with a wonderful person who unfortunately died. I tried a few pilates places, but never found a home. I have found a home here. I am a senior citizen, and find this place welcoming and helpful. read more

This center provides a Korean based integrative approach to yoga, tai chi, qi gong, core body strength training, and energetic work intended to heal and tonify the mind-body-spirit. I' am impressed with the integrity of the teachers, the usefulness of the exercises, and the welcoming presence of the community. Classes tend to have between 4-8 people and are mostly people ages 40 and up. Very friendly participants at each class, and the center offers additional courses, books, and retreats, which I have not explored as of yet. Room for improvement: sometimes it feels like the teachers nudge excessively to buy a product, class, or retreat. They should scale this back and give people more space. Also, the founder of this place appears to be elevated to guru-like status, which is a big turn off for me. Despite these issues, so far, I like this place. read more

Great studio. Master Kim and master Soul make hard classes fun. Lots of laughing and smiling that makes challenging classes easier to do. I have been going 3 months and am feeling much better already. I highly recommend. read more

After a lower back spinal surgery, I was asked to not lift, bend or twist for 3 months about a year ago at the age of 32. As a Bollywood dancer of 10 years, I was left at my most physically vulnerable stage of my life. After 3 months of rest and some physical therapy, I began practicing light breathing and yoga at home. I missed the studio. If you're religious or spiritual, you'll understand this: after this moment in my life, I asked God for some way to get back into my body, and this time holistically - through my mind, body and spirit combined. Little would I know, I walked into the Pasadena center Summer of this year and months later knew my prayer was answered. I have been with this studio for over 6 months now and my body is back! The classes here focus on healing and strengthening. Period. From ancient practices still incorporated today to build strength from within. The masters (trainers) at this studio are also members who have been loyal to the practice themselves for over a decade. In addition, there are fantastic programs within the studio to further the practice. My back feels great, my body feels joyous and I could not be more happy to have found a studio, that for me, is a perfect transition from the bouncy Bollywood dance studio to the healing, cleansing and strengthen studio. Shoutout to all of my dear trainers who introduced me to this studio. I have so much gratitude for you Master Arthur, Master Sunny, and of course, my very own Mrs. Miyagi, Master Dahari. read more

The instructors are super nice and very loving. I would not say that it is yoga, or Thai Chi specific. It's a different type of exercise, which is a great way to relieve stress. However, you always seemed pressured to either pay for a workshop or pay for personalized individual sessions. Even though you express that you do not want to have different workshops or individualized treatments, the attitude is respectful, but they do not stop pressuring you to continue with an additional workshop that is pricey. You may say no I don't want, and they always make sure to let you know that "it is your choice"-"It is up to you," but even though you continue to say no, they continue on pressuring you to pay for another workshop or individualized treatment because they see that " you need it."Regardless, if you have a stern no. I paid for a whole year which was almost $2000. Due to the added pressure given in joining extra Workshops that are not under your contract and have a high fee. I have stopped attending. It is not a very relaxing time. I feel anxiety when I go only because I know that I will be continued to be pressured to take additional workshops and personalized treatments. They also have a master that invented this type of yoga and brain workout, who is viewed as a powerful being. They will also pressure you into going to workshops to meet this person. Again, even if you say no, they will continue and try to convince you that you need it because he is a beautiful being with tremendous love that radiates towards everything. --I don't like to be pressured, and I feel anxiety when I get there, so unfortunately, I stopped going there because of this. I feel bad, because I wasted a lot of money for the year, but again, I do not like to feel pressured. I do want to mention that the staff and the master are super nice people. I just think that they have to try to get people to pay for other workshops and personalized treatments in order to gain status or maybe financial gain. read more

If you're looking for classes or 1:1 sessions this is the place to be! There are meditation/yoga classes that are so calming and freeing. I've done a few 1:1 sessions with Dahari and I highly recommend her. I've had a lasting impact from my experience with her. She's simply amazing and loves to ask questions and dig deeper. This place brings so much peace and self awareness. Highly recommended. read more

The quality of dedication that each Master offers is priceless. I have grown spiritually and my energy from within has become stronger and stronger with each experience I have. My heart has been filled with happiness and promise for even greater possibilities. Each class enlightens me to what obstacles that prevented my spiritual growth and love for others. I have been a member since December but my growth has astounded me because it has been realized with massive improvement. I have seen my personal relationships and work relationships improve. This community can not come at a better time to help me get through all the uncertainty that we are experiencing now. I am forever grateful to Miss "A" for guiding me here. I highly recommend Body & Brain and I will continue to do so. Thank you. read more

Master Dahari is truly a wonderful mentor, teacher with a loving and kind heart, a sense of humor and a beautiful welcoming smile! I have attended weekly in person classes for the past 4 months. My digestive health has improved greatly. my flexibility too, and it feels like I am growing younger!! I have never experienced an exercise class that felt like home to me, that connected me to my body and mind, that brought me more self love through self care. A compassionate environment with like minded people committed to self care and the difference it makes in their lives. You haven't lived until you experience these varied weekly classes that are geared for you to transform your body and your mind wherever you are currently at. Plus I am so much more forgiving and loving! These are the classes I see myself doing for all my life! read more

Dahari is an excellent teacher. I e been going for about 3 months and my circulation, energy, knee and focus have improved. Stress level down, at least while I'm in class.. excellent instructor. Very wise. An array of different people taking classes. Every day is different. I like t read more

This is only for rich retired people who have never taken a yoga class, are completely inactive and want a new cult leader. You'll get his book (for a fee), and then get lots of hugs from center staff, but will be expected to pay quite a lot for classes, workshops, that frequently have ridiculous moves that do not consider various types of injuries or limitations, the way that a regular yoga instructor would. It's a cult, they care about money and you'd be better off anywhere else. read more

What an incredible experience! I had a private session with Dahari Lovong and she was amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and very helpful. I am so grateful for everything I learned in our session and I can't wait to practice at home and continue to come to classes. read more

I've been coming here for three months, and I love it! It's not a typical yoga class, but that's what I like about it. I feel a bit challenged, but mostly feel energized and relaxed after I've taken a class. I think the classes are fun, and I look forward them. A nice change from my usual hard cardio workouts. And since I've been coming, I'm much more flexible and have less backaches and headaches. And the instructors are always helpful and friendly. read more

This is truly a center of spiritual awakening to your body's innate healing and to come home to yourself. Dahari is a gentle masterful teacher and gift. There are so many varieties of classes and all of them bring unique gifts of healing!!! read more

I attended my first yoga session today at the Pasadena location, it was a wonderful experience. Master Dahari and Master Kim were very welcoming with a positive demeanor. The prices are very reasonable. The class was relaxing, it was very beneficial to my well being. It was a great experience learning how to channel energy through my body. Will be attending more sessions. I definitely rate this establishment 5 stars, thank you Master Kim and Master Dahari for a wonderful experience. read more

I love being a member of this center. I found body and brain yoga through a recommendation and the classes have been so healing. It's so great that they offer online classes as well, especially since I'm not local to Pasadena. The staff here really take their time to get to know you and give so much knowledge about connecting the body, mind and soul in the yoga practice. read more

I don't know what would I do without this place! Whatever happens in life - I know I can come here and put myself together again. Very safe, welcoming environment. Wheather you need to talk or be left alone - it is noticed and respected. Had been going for 1.5 years and my life significantly changed. I recovered my relationship with family, found a job I was looking for. Not to say that I am happy with my body. Thank you to masters, if you are reading it) read more

Body & Brain yoga along with the masters, has been such a wonderful and relaxing experience. I've learned a lot about energy, body and mind. I've experienced acceptance and internal healing. It is a process but can be achieved if you are consistent and true to yourself. Great place to find calm, energy and more flexibility. I feel so connected with my body. Thank you for your help and patience. read more

The new center has a bigger training room. Been a member at the Pasadena center for a lil over a year. After doing the two most common exercises in Dahn Yoga everyday after waking up in the a.m., I'm more focused and don't get acid reflux in the middle of the night when I go to bed on a full stomach. These exercises are unsual because it involves healing the internal organs and not just strenghtening one's core muscles. As a bonus for doing these exercises the spiritual growth becomes possible thru brain wave vibration. On top of that one learns about the seven chakras and meridian channels of the human body. For me this is the complete package because it addresses mind, body, and spirit. Although I moved out of California, I still consider this my sanctuary. read more

I've taken several yoga classes at various yoga centers throughout my life, this by far has been the most beneficial... They focus not just on the physical benefits of yoga but spirituality... I've learned it's an inside job, working inside out gives you an experience unlike anything you could ever imagine. .. Master Kim is highly knowledgeable providing the utmost professionalism. In addition to reasonable pricing, I give Body and Brain of Pasadena and Glendale locations, 5 stars, they truly have transformed my life. Thank-you Master Kim of Pasadena and Master Dahari of Glendale. read more

The spread of this COVID-19 has led to a lot of business closures. Thankfully, despite of this pandemic, Body and Brain Yoga Taichi in Pasadena offered on line classes via Zoom. The online courses provided variety of stretching, strengthening, mind and body conditioning and balance exercises. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from the experienced and skilled professionals under the leadership of Masters Arthur and Sunny as they both provide higher engagement and increased motivation to the class towards body mindfulness. This place is highly recommended. read more

Way over-priced session! Also, they try to get you to attend as many classes as possible.

What started out as me procrastinating in redeeming a Groupon turned out to be a life-changing experience. Dahn Yoga is different from the yoga I've tried in the past. It's simple, but challenging at times. However...the staff are pushy in trying to get you to attend pricey workshops. They try to make you believe that everything that is good in your life is because of them; and everything negative is because you're not joining more workshops. They tried to guilt me about visiting family for the holidays instead of attending class. Many reasons led me to discover that this is a cult. I'm glad I found out sooner than later. read more

I've been coming to Body and Brain in Pasadena for several years, and attended numerous workshops and retreats. Although I have practiced various forms of yoga for the past 30 years, I find this combination of traditional poses, breathing, Tai Chi, more vigorous movement, and meditation to be the most beneficial for my mental and physical health. Master Dahari is wise beyond his years, is an excellent instructor, and has a sparkling sense of humor. Master Michelle is a very insightful healer, and is very compassionate and kind. All the masters whom I have met, whether in Pasadena, Glendale, or Sedona, have been skilled professionals and treated me with respect and caring. The classes are attended by a diverse group of all ages, beliefs, cultures, and physical abilities. The studio is lovely, and fully accessible. I recommend Body and Brain Yoga/Tai Chi for all -- whether an athlete or disabled, young or old, you will learn about yourself, about how to get and stay healthier, and even how to "recharge your brain"!

This has been a peaceful place for us for the past 4 years where we see the benefits of attending physically and mentally. My should pain went away just by attending classes and the best part is that I did not need surgery. The instructors are kind and always attentive. We recommend to all. read more

This is a great place to unwind after a long day or start out your day. The space seems newly renovated and clean. Everyone is warm and welcoming. The exercises are good for all levels. When I leave a class I always feel a lot less tired and much less stressed than when I walked in. It also helps me keep my weight in check ;) probably a lot of other health benefits that aren't as apparent to me. read more

Dahn Yoga in Pasadena is super awesome and inviting! The studio is very well kept, clean and inviting. The staff is very friendly and encouraging.

I honestly recommend Dahn to everyone. If you haven't yet given Dahn a try, you're missing out. read more

Great way to combine a physical, emotional, and spiritual balance. Through the exercises and meditations i feel more centered, flexible, and calm. It helps keep a good flow and balance of energy.

Your body will thank you for making this investment in taking care of yourself. read more

I love Dahn Yoga. I have been looking for a yoga home for over a year and have tried several studios and types of yoga but Dahn yoga felt like home. The instructors take great care in helping me understand the poses and also how to adapt it to my body. I have been amazed at how quickly my body is adapting to some movements that I never thought I could do again. Like a basic squat because it killed my knees. I highly recommend the classes and workshops. This yoga is accessible to everyone - no matter your current condition. feel so fortunate to have found Dahn yoga read more

Attended a trial Core Strengthening class and was impressed with the teacher's knowledge and expertise in body and breath work. The unique exercises and postures are dedicated to healing specific bodily ailments and not necessarily rooted in traditional yoga practices. Recommend to those seeking healing methods that are focused on the body and its energy channels. read more

I've been coming here for well over 7 years. Not one class is the same as the last. Although the physical exercises are good and leave me a little sore when I push myself, the greatest gift is the meditation and energy healing. The practice has helped me get through some difficult times and I'm so thankful for the studio. read more

Have been attending Body & Brain Yoga for over two years now. Even though I have tried all types of yoga, this particular yoga allows me to stretch, become more flexible, increase my balance and focus. I have noticed that the more flexible I become, the more open my thinking and breathing has become. The current Master is very focused on its members reaching their health goals and is very patient in demonstrating the "home" exercises. She routinely checks in to make sure members are understanding what to do and making progress. It is worth trying out to see if it's for you! read more

I went to Dahn Yoga for the Tai Chi class and I've been a member almost a year. I have yet to take a Tai Chi class due to my deep enjoyment of Dahn Yoga that they offer. Dahn Yoga has really helped me improve my over all health and well being. I've been able to decrease my blood pressure medication and is working on eliminating medication all together. I feel more energetic my stamina has increased and I'm more focused. Pasadena location is very inviting and the staff are helpful in assisting you on your mind, body and spirit balancing.
