Paola Kossack
My life changed since I started this Dahn Yoga since 2018. I took the control of my own body and mind. It is a nice blend of holistic and unique fitness through online and in studio classes featuring a blend of yoga, tai-chi meditation and breath working. This exercises made me a healthier person, a happier person. Gave me courage to deal with my unwanted feelings. It is a place for everyone, so easy , anyone in any physical condition can do. Any Age any gender can do. Highly recommend, it is time to take control of your body and mind. Sending Love to everyone 💕

My pain specialist referred me to try Tai Chi exercise for my Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. I am so happy that I found Body and Brain Yoga Tai Chi and tomorrow will mark 3 months of my membership. Master Diep has made me feel cared for in my health journey and she is an excellent teacher. She takes helping her students very seriously and is committed to helping you reach your goals. I would recommend this center for anyone who is trying to increase strength but lower their pain.

I have spent my energy working …. And forgot about my health. The classes at Body & Brain are physically challenging, easily accommodative …. and mentally restorative. B&B is the first place that I have loved coming to for fitness!
GARTH REGUDON
I started attending classes here 6 months ago with no experience in either Yoga or Tai Chi. I found the classes to be challenging and fun. The instructors here are warm and inviting and have a genuine joy in sharing with everyone. I've learned so much in a short time about how to create energy and why it is so important for holistic health. The meridian stretching exercises have helped me become more flexible and aware of how my body reacts and feels. The meditative breathing exercises help me relax and take the stress of the day away and focus the mind inward toward emotional and spiritual growth and well being. I love the attention the Masters and instructors here offer everyone, giving their best to help with your personal goals and growth. Take some classes, learn about their retreat programs and meditation tours. But take action and increase your strength, flexibility and balance your body and mind like never before!
Jenny Cusack
I’m so grateful I strolled into body and brain 6 weeks ago. It’s completely changed my life. I feel more connected to my body, I’m finding joy in every moment, and I’m able to be more present with a calmer mind. The center is full of light and love and always keeps you on your toes with the diversity of movements. I recommend stopping in on Fridays to join the dance parties as your first experience. The energy you find deep within yourself at body&brain will change your flow and raise your vibration for life 🌊
Thanh Tran
Most yoga positive experience I ever have. Yoga Instructors always so helpful and teach you best of Tai Chi yoga had to offer.
Kimberly Goza
I wish I would have found Body and Brain yoga sooner. It has helped me with anxiety, given me more energy, And introduced me to the practice of mind body connection. I have learned how to calm my mind with meditation and physical exercise. The classes have also helped my teenage daughter who struggled with vertigo and migraines. The instructors are very supportive and encouraging. You can tell they are passionate about what they do. The environment is very friendly and welcoming. I strongly recommend this center to anyone who wants to feel their best!
Jan Hansen
What a wonderful place! Every time I attend classes here, I feel more relaxed and stretched out! This is a community of inclusive, loving instructors who care about each student. They know me and care about me, my health and my well-being. I've been practicing this yoga/tai chi about 8 years and in that time, I have lost weight, became more peaceful and happier in my life. I have cured my sciatica pain without surgery through one of the exercises. This practice has three components: Physical, Mental and Spiritual. I have grown in learning about myself in all three areas. I enjoy learning about me. I become insightful as to how I can improve my life in those three areas. This practice and the caring instructors have brought huge blessings into my life. I am so grateful!
Jan Hansen
I have been attending classes and workshops here for about 5 years. My health, both physically and emotionally has improved greatly! Great teachers have been attentive to my health concerns, both physically and emotionally. They have taught me to relax better and how to gain more strength and flexibility. I am happier and healthier! I feel better than I ever have before! The classes are always different so I don't get bored, like I used to at the gym. It's a great practice!
Amy Anderson
I love Body and Brain Yoga and Tai Chi! It has changed my life. It is the best practice I have ever done for my body, mind and soul—and I have tried everything!! Over the last year since I have been practicing, I have grown
and benefited so much from the classes, exercises, tools and principles. I am more flexible, stronger, healthier and happier! The classes at the Wedgwood center are so fun and also challenging in a very intentional, gentle and mindful way to connect your body and brain. And the instructors are superb!! I look forward to going to class every day!!

I've been a member of body and brain yoga for years now.... First a member from a studio in brooklyn... and mentored under one of the instructors there.. She is very helpful... I do private healing sessions and work on my spiritual development ... I was tired of doing the same physical yoga classes without a spiritual aspect and I wanted to go deeper. I enjoy the classes for the physical and energy work and also the meditation. The dance classes are actually fun and the staff is always willing and friendly. I would recommend the Find True self Workshop for newbies.
Navin K
I have been a member of this yoga studio for around 7 months now and am so glad I joined! My lower back pain and knee pain have disappeared almost entirely. The tension in my neck and shoulders (from computer work) has gotten a lot better. My energy and vitality have improved. And I can notice emotional blockages that I've had since childhood starting to loosen up and release. Lately, I have been feeling lighter and more happy, and the yoga has been instrumental in helping me achieve this.
The teachers are helpful, friendly and very well trained. The classes are well balanced, with just the right amount of stretching, movement and relaxation. I am often blissed out after class. The space itself is bright and clean, and free tea is served.
At times, it seems expensive but for me it has been totally worth it- after all, how can you put a price on health and happiness? Overall I would highly recommend this studio.
Katya Granit
I’ve joined Body & Brain since last September. I come almost everyday and I really appreciate it because it helps me relax, feel more energy so I can be a better mom and better wife. Most importantly, I’ve become more aware of myself and I now can make better choices for myself from moment to moment. I feel confident and positive and more hopeful and excited about my life and future. I really love the kindness and loving community the teachers and members share here. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to live a better life and become a better version of yourself today!
Jessica Zamagni
I come from the most classical Hatha Yoga so I was curious to explore something new to improve my personal practice. I was surprise! The Body and Brain Yoga Taichi is really helpful to learn easy but very effective exercises that bring benefits to whole body but even more to the brain! What I really like are the meditations, those are very special moments. The teachers are great putting always a lot of effort and energy in their classes. The atmosphere they create is so relaxing that it's always a pleasure to come to the classes.
Alyssa Bierlein
I have been practicing Dahn Yoga for about a month now, after finding this center in a new neighborhood I recently moved into. I am recovering from a major accident and surgery, and as such do not have a lot of flexibility. I can honestly say that after attending regular classes (3-4 a week) for this past few weeks, I am able to walk longer distances, stretch further without pain, feel stronger and I have almost no pain remaining from my previous injury. Dahn Yoga has brought back my confidence in myself and my body's abilities, and I will forever be thankful for that. Along with this, these classes are a fantastic stress reliever with a very calming atmosphere, and lovely people to socialize with. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to increase their physical abilities or flexibility, or to just learn more about meditation.
Jodi Spitalli
This is just not your typical yoga practice! This is a very dynamic, deep and life changing holistic health and wellness program! You will never experience the same class twice! It includes mind, body and spirit teachings and exercises. The Ravenna Park Center is full of compassionate teachers, Masters and members who are extremely supportive and encouraging. Any level is welcome! I have attended many classes and trainings and I am always so grateful, leaving feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and peaceful!
Patricia Pena
It is a blessing to have joined Body&Brain. Every time I go to any class I come out with so much joy for taking time to care for myself, physically, mentally and emotionally. Also shoutout to #MasterDiep <3

It is not the typical "yoga." In a regular class, experienced and supportive instructors offer physical exercises that improve flexibility and strength, and classes end usually with some kinds of energy meditation. At the end of each class, I feel physically improved and mentally calmer and relaxed. Several times a week, they also offer Tai-chi classes which are simply wonderful. Old and young - anyone is welcome and supported by great instructors and the fantastic curriculum. Instructors are absolutely committed, current and competent with their work. Great place to find peace, healing and growth.
Stacy Inomura
I moved to Seattle 6 months ago and started practicing here. Ever since I had no regrets! Classes are awesome ))) The teachers are absolutely committed and competent with their work too. I feel so much understanding and encouraging for achieving my health and self-improving goals. Also at Body & Brain Yoga-Taichi I found a warm and supportive community of people who inspire me and where I can share my ideas. Love how I feel after each class - more peaceful, stronger and grounded.
Yelena Mathis
About 13 years ago I first started attending classes at Dahn Yoga Center in Chicago and I was fortunate to be able to continue at Ravenna Park in Seattle. Dahn Yoga answers my needs by addressing those of my body, mind,spirit and energy. It's an ever evolving process,through progressive workshops to bring me to the higher level with my whole being. Part of what makes Dahn Yoga special is that you learn energy principles to balance and heal yourself.
It's a growing process on the way to complete your Soul.
I'm very happy that I found you in my life.
I love Dahn Yoga especially at Ravenna Park.
Kalyn Noe Pope
These classes have been an amazing part of my pregnancy journey. I originally found a 3 week special on NextDoor that had 3 classes a week and after feeling so much more in tune with my body and brain and looking forward to each class, I became a member. There are two classes a day on Zoom which is perfect for me being home and something that I look forward to. The instructors are amazing and really care about everyone in the class. Master Diep has been especially caring with how things are going for me in the classes especially with being 7 months pregnant. I highly recommend taking a class and see how good you will feel!
Christina Brosman
I've been a member of the Body & Brain Center for 3 years. When I started out, I was not doing well, having gone through several surgeries. I still remember my first class, being absolutely amazed at how positiv it effected me: I felt so much energy! I l had so much fun ! Well, for me it turned out to be the perfect combination of stretching, moving meditation, energy circulation, strength training , Tai Chi, Ki Gong...The instructors are amazing and truly care about every person walking through the door. It feels like a family, we have tea and socialize after class. Don't worry if you are not in good shape, the exercises can be down scaled or intensified. The benefits I've received are incredible, they effect the body, emotions and the mind!!!
Sachi Maekawa
I've tried many different types of yoga, and this is by far the best for my body, energy, & spirit. I never knew that yoga was more than just stretching, relaxing, & working out. My mental and physical health has improved immensely & I now understand what it means to be a spiritual human being. The two and a half years I've been a member, I've lived in many different cities, but I've always planned my moves so that I'm close to a body & brain studio. It has become a way of life that I want to continue forever. I've learned so much from all of my teachers one on one, as well as in a group setting. They care for each member with such open, accepting, and loving hearts.
Jill Appel
I enjoy every moment at the Dahn Yoga Ravenna Park Center. Master JoHwaTong is a compassionate healer and kind soul. Her individual healing sessions have been transformative. My body has more flexibility and comfort with her help. She is also an inspiring teacher during yoga class, as are all of the teachers at the center. I appreciate the assistance with body positioning and the sincere encouragement. I signed up for a yearlong membership because it's a great workout and my brain feels better after class. It is worth every penny for the membership because I'm learning to keep myself healthy and happy.
Maureen Shallit
I have been training at the Ravenna Park Dahn Yoga Center for three years now and have experienced exciting personal growths in my body and mind connections. Through physical stretching and strengthening exercises, breathing and meditation techniques, and energy Ki training,the classes and workshops have helped me understand how the pain/tightness in my body is connected to my emotions and thoughts. Sometimes that connection is like a bulls-eye awakening, sometimes it is so subtle that the emotions and thought connections don't seem to match, until you arrive in class one day feeling anxious, tense, angry etc. and discover, through the exercises, where those negative energies are being held in your body and how to let them go. Well done Ravenna Park Dahn Yoga Center.
Shirley L.
I moved to Seattle 5 months ago. I feel lucky because I found the Body & Brain Yoga Center in Ravenna Park. Classes are awesome! The teachers are so kind. Since I started, I don’t have my headaches anymore. I feel more connected with myself, more focused, and so happy after meditation.
I leave each class with lots of energy and a proactive, positive attitude.

Over 2.5 years now, I have felt changes in my body that are turning my dreams into reality. I originally came to Ravenna Park for daily migraines I was experiencing. I've gotten to release stress bottled up over the years and as I have reflected, my habits have changed a lot and continue to. Nowadays, rarely do I feel a migraine throughout the month and I am feeling the strength to provide presentations about them. Along with better stress management, I feel more motivation to keep growing. The workshops provided to members are fantastic opportunities as well. Whether you are looking for a little stress management, people to socialize with, or an exercise routine, this program can provide that.
Lindsey Martinez-alegria
To reap the benefits of body & brain yoga, I recommend you come with an open heart and mind. The various stretching and tapping routines focus on preparing oneself to meditate. With all the noise in this world & our minds racing 24/7, body & brain has helped me to become centered for the first time in my life. Since coming to this center I have stopped taking my anxiety medication and feel calmer than I have ever felt in my adult life. Everyone at the center is kind & full of joy. I didn't know I was looking but I have found a community that I love to be a part of. This center is my home away from home...I feel grounded and centered as soon as I step in the door.
Sabina Larski
I loved the classes I took here at the Ravenna Park Dahn Yoga center. I saw a recent article in MORE magazine about Dahn Yoga and how great/different it is from traditional yoga. So I thought I give it try. I went in for a free trial class and loved the class. The instructors are friendly and thoughtful, yet the classes are energizing and fun. Not something you'd normally think you get from a yoga class. I really appreciate how affordable to classes are too. I walked out feeling refreshed and am looking forward to my next class!
Thomas Johnson
Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi has changed my life. I have more mobility, flexibility and generally feel better. The classes are always different and really help rejuvenate me after a long work day. The instructors are very encouraging and helpful. They offer a lot of extra classes as well and do personalized healings. Give it a try and see if it resonants with you. You won’t regret it.
Don Fiene
I have been attending Body & Brain Yoga classes for a few months. I usually go to Diep’s classes. She always has a great smile on her face and is enthusiastic and passionate. Most importantly, she always makes the classes fun. I’ve noticed great improvements in my flexibility, balance, and mindfulness. I highly recommend Body & Brain.
Mary Mason
I was looking for somewhere to heal from an injury and there on the corner in Wedgwood was Body and Brain. I went in on a whim and my journey began. I met with Diep who spent more than an hour with me. It was a wonderful, healing experience that introduced me to what was a new way of thinking about my body. I have tried each of the different classes and in each one have found something that spoke to me. All of the instructors are excellent and the classes are open and welcoming to all levels of experience, There is a warm sense of community in the small classes. I'm glad I walked through that door.
Ginger Chaffin
I sincerely enjoy all that is offered here and highly recommend to everyone that they give it a try. The practice and principles are simple, straight forward and clearly demonstrated by very skilled and thoughtful trainers. Each class is consistently unique and powerful. One of my personal favorites is the vibration class where the tension held in my body is joyfully released and I experience my unique natural rhythm. I also really appreciate the very relaxing and insightful meditation portion of each class.
Through this practice I have learned to utilize my own healing power and creative potential. My body is very grateful AND my life is moving forward in the direction I choose. I have learned to breathe deeply and center myself both when under pressure and simply for the joy of being fully alive and present in the moment. I love sharing this practice!!
Jeff Woiton
I have been attending this center for over two years for physical, spiritual, and energetic strengthening. This is not the same old yoga that you see at other centers; although they emphasize connecting with the 7 chakras, they focus more on meridian channels than asanas. The result is a program that is based on reducing all the clutter in your head so you can return to your true self.
I have consistently found all of the instructors to be very well grounded in the Taoist tradition of revering heaven, earth, and all living things. The classes keep showing me how much I can push myself further than I would have ever thought, while also showing me how to redirect my focus to my body instead of my random thoughts. It's based on simple principles, not a belief system, and is the perfect antidote to modern daily life.
Jessica Alire
I started attending classes here about 6 weeks ago. I started with a 1:1 session and a class. I decided to sign up for a membership after the first class because it felt so great! I love the mind/body approach and feel more energized and less stressed after attending classes. The instructors are very personable, they greet everyone by name and with a hug and I have already learned so much from their instructions. I can tell this is something my body needed and I look forward to going as often as I can.
Vanessa Nason
Before joining Body and Brain Yoga, I had major stiffness in my neck and shoulders from work and school, and also began having trouble breathing deeply. I found that after taking only one class my mind and body had improved so much that i've made this practice a life long journey and discipline. Through deep breathing, stretching, meditation and healing internal organs, my energy has changed and the stress in my life doesn't effect me as much as it did before. I am more resilient to daily stressors because i found a foundation in myself that is unmoving and solid, and i believe thats because i was able to recover my whole connection of mind, body and soul. Thanks to Body and Brain Yoga and the passionate and encouraging staff there, I see everyday life as a gift to grow and learn. I highly recommend you try a class.
Ken Winstead
It is not often I write reviews, but wanted to share the impact Body and Brain in Ravenna has had on my overall wellbeing.
During a recent appointment with a headache specialist, the doctor recommended I try Tai Chi. A few days later I spotted a brochure for this place at a coffee shop, paid a visit that afternoon, and attended my first class the next day.
Fast forward; during a follow up appointment with the headache specialist, she commented that I am different…in a good way!
I can honestly say that taking tai chi and yoga classes, along with attending a "finding true self" workshop has improved my overall wellbeing and I'm feeling better than I have in years.
Headaches gone, joints loose and am relaxed more often than stressed.
The staff are amazing; excellent instructors and helping people is a calling for them, not just a job.
I love this place, and think you will too!
Mary Manning
In 3 months my sciatica pain is almost gone. I enjoy everyone I meet through Body & Brain. They are warm, encouraging and sincere. Also, they are very flexible, and I hope I can do what they do if I keep at it.
Venus Tan
Great cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Dahn yoga shows a lot of ways to improve health. My flexibility is way better than when I was a teenager or a child. I'm constantly using their methods to make changes in my life. I have found many friends through Dahn Yoga. I am going to start going to their Heroes program (free and for ages 20s - early 40s)
Paul Seely
Over the past several months, and particularly during the season of quarantine, Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi has become such an important part of my health and well-being practice. I have noticed not only an increase in energy and flexibility, but a more vigorous commitment to better practices in eating and movement in general. Thank you to the B&B leaders and teachers who mean what they say: "Healthy body, happy heart, power brain!"

Brian Korbelik
I've been practicing Dahn Yoga for over four years and have felt tremendous benefit for the things I wanted to improve. Before, I always felt an underlying kind of anxiety. It seemed like all of the time I felt this and it was getting worse. Dahn Yoga is the only thing that helped me quiet my mind. It did that by helping me feel my body more and stay in the present moment. I recommend it to any of my friends and family who want to feel better!!!
Richard Woltjer
Body and Brain totally surprised me. I'd done yoga ages ago. This is not traditional yoga. Lots if stretching, so I got what I came for. But I got so much more.
This combines a lot of mind quieting practices in addition to building flexibility. The two practices together bring in new life. Slow me down. Keep me much more present after I've left the studio.
Some come for the stretches, and that alone is worth the cost. If you're looking for a spiritual home without the dogma, try Body and Brain. It won't stress you to go beyond your abilities. Body awareness keeps you within healthy bounds. But when I arrived 9 months ago, I couldn't bend closer than six inches from my toes. Today, I can touch them with my knuckles. Incredible!
But I'm most happy with how my practice has improved my well being, added equilibrium and joy to an already full life.
Did I mention that the trainers make the place? They are all committed to their own practice, and to working with you to progress in yours. Body and Brain is a Ravenna jem. Try it.
Chambit Yoon
Dahn yoga practice has helped me to recover from ruptured disc and lower back pain and cancer. After 4 years of practice, I can definitely testify the benefits of dahn yoga practice. Not only I am completely over the conditions that had brought me to the Dahn Yoga practice, but also, I am a lot stronger, emotionally stable and happier. Dahn yoga practice of activating chakra is the key to physical health and mental health and spiritual health. This is the best choice I made in my life and I am very lucky to have found it. The masters are very very powerful. I want to be powerful just like them. I recommend Dahn yoga practice to anyone who wants to be healthier physically and mentally, happier, stronger and younger.
Pamela Altman
I found Dahn Yoga after searching for an exercise routine for about 6 months. I wanted something that was both challenging physically, mentally focused and with an emphasis on healing the whole body. This program has helped be regain strength, balance and teach me mental focus. I hope to continue my training here and maintain my health.
Leslie Ray
Since 2004 (13 years) I have been a member . No practice has consistently delivered the experience, the principles and the tools to achieve true peace, joy and happiness from the inside out!
From the first day I entered a center, I have felt and experienced a deep sense of hope and belief that through healing myself, I can transform family, community and society.
It has been nearly 13 years since I walked into the Body & Brain center and when I reflect on my life today , I can say with sincerity and deep gratitude that not only have I undergone personal growth and transformation but my relationships are healthy , my Community is authentic and harmonious , I experience real peace and joy and I am truly able to face adversity and make decisions with a clear mind and open heart ❤️
Thank you Body & Brain for all that you have given me. I am a grateful lifetime member!
Bonnie Taschler
Because our lives are so busy, all of us need to find simple yet effective ways 1) to quickly clear the mind of burdensome thoughts/emotions, and 2) to deeply relax the body. This is what I found through the stretches and meditative breath work at Body & Brain at Ravenna Park. Very soon (within a month) I felt better than I had for years, happier in my day-to-day routines, and more hopeful in my general outlook. Situations that used to bother me began to lose their charge. "It's magic!" I used to say. (And I still say it!) The instructors are living examples of what the practice can do for you; they are truly caring people - committed to their own growth as well as the growth of every person who enters the door. If you are looking for a way to shift your experience of your current reality through a simple (yet transformative) practice, give Body & Brain an honest try. You'll feel better on many levels, guaranteed!
Jen Woffinden
When you walk into the Body & Brain studio, you will be warmly welcomed and you will feel immediately at ease. The classes are designed to help you integrate to your brain and body, allowing you to connect with your inner true self. After experiencing the collective energy of the masters and other practicing members, you might just float out of there on an energy high.
Diep Mai
Since I joined in Body & Brain Yoga-Taichi, I have had a second home, a family that I can run into with any problems I have which mostly stress, anxiety and depression with winter time of Seattle. The center helps me stay grounded and strong when facing hard times and unsteady phases of my life. I am very much appreciative for what it has been and will be doing for me, which is helping me get out of my head to connect with my soul and follow my heart. I found happiness, freedom, strength and confidence in myself through amazingly simple but effective exercises that bring my mind back to my body and increase my level of consciousness.
Barbara Droker
I started my retirement eight months ago with yoga classes at Body and Brain Yoga Center. Stretching, meditation, brain wave vibration, tai chi, and belly button healing have centered my life. I lost weight without dieting, gained calmness, learned to feel my body, and can sleep better. I appreciate the underlying philosophy of being the best citizen one can be and taking better care of the earth. Love that belly button tool!
Norman McCormick
I’m hoping to get stronger. I don’t feel stressed since I retired but right now I have friends that are very ill. So illness problem is what Im trying to help them with. That’s why I come to Body & Brain Yoga Taichung, mainly to maintain my physical health after several surgeries that I’ve been through myself. And Body and Brain really help me with that, confirmed by my doctors and physical therapist.
sage mann
I found them at the street fair doing aura readings and decided to come in for an introductory session, and I had signed up for a 3 month membership before I even walked out. The teachers are wonderfully welcoming and friendly, and the curriculum is compellingly unique. Two weeks in have already been transformative. I'd highly recommend a visit here to anyone who's looking to strengthen their body and mind, as well as enrich their lives.
Sara Lopez
The Ravenna Park Body & Brain studio provides a unique Yoga and Tai Chi experience, linking enriching practices for the body, mind and soul. The community of skilled masters and supportive members create a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere for exercise and meditation. A member for just over two years, I've appreciated significant gains in flexibility, balance, breath control, core strength and an improved level of mindfulness. Ah, shi-won-ha-da! (Feels so good!)
Sadie Justice
The Ravenna Park Dahn Yoga Center is in a very special and accessable location in Seattle, Wa. From the outside of the building to the inside, it is very modern and beautifully put together. The masters are all so warm and kind. I participated in a Shim Sung (finding your true self) workshop. I got the chance to open my heart and focus on me. In a partnership, we played many creative games that challenged our bodies and minds. I got the oppotunity to release alot of built up emotion in a positive loving nurturing environment. It has changed my perspective on my life and I feel re-birthed. I would recommend their dynamic classes, and loving workshops to ANYONE!
Martin Lockwood
I started coming to Body and Brain over 3 years ago, and have been studying the principles and practices of Dahn yoga and more specifically Dahn Mu Do, the Korean form of Tai Chi. My body has developed the ability to feel and use energy. With better body and energy awareness thru consistent daily training, I can feel my bodies ability to heal itself physically and energetically. I have gained so much flexibility, balance, strength, and confidence. Strength in my lower body and lightness in the upper body. My mind is also much more focused, relaxed, calm and a sense of centerdness, thru practice and meditation. I also have developed tools and techniques for managing thoughts and emotions that can clutter my mind. The energy, love, support, and skilled trainers at Body and Brain are amazing!
Brian Gurry
The Ravenna Park center has helped me on my journey to discover my true self through lessons and practice of Taichi and Yoga. The instructors are patient, kind, and supportive. I recommend this amazing experience to everyone!
Liz Doyle
I’ve been coming to Body & Brain for about 6 months now. The more I come, the more I want to come. I’ve experienced private healing sessions and regular classes. I feel healing energy. Everyone here has become family. And I found this place by accident and it has become a God-send!
Inge Falk van Rooyen
Whenever you think it is not the right time, or there is not enough time, you are in fact "stuck".
In finding just enough time to regularly come to these classes, my health changed measurably. I required cardiac surgery and was told on the day prior to my surgery that I did in fact not need it anymore. How is this possible? Your body changes and remodels daily, as does your brain. You can create all you can be mentally, physically and emotionally, with regular practice. Many medical studies show this to be valid, and you can make this your reality too. No one is too old, or too immobile to do these classes. There is a world of health and emotional stability to gain. Yours for the taking. Come to our center!
Christine Nishida
Took my very first tai chi class here on recommendation of my good friend Diep. I always imagined it being like my grandparents in the park moving real slow... bit it was much more than that. It was an awesome meditating experience. I often fall asleep during meditation and this was a great way to practice mind and body together. There was a wide range of ages and everyone was very welcoming 😊
Anna Sun Choi
I took a few workshops here like Finding True Self and the Master Classses over the last couple years. I am very impressed by the mind, body, spirit integration of every movement and over time--this has truly allowed me to get back in touch with my body, grounding my "monkey mind" at will, when I continue doing daily practice at home. I definitely, definitely recommend anyone do it!!
Marni Wasserman
Super warm and friendly atmosphere! From the moment i walked in i could tell the instructors really care about helping people change their lives for the better. I'm stronger and healthier in mind and body than I've ever been in my life. Take all the workshops they offer!!!!!
Lars Pardo
Been at it for almost a month & it is transformative. It's not just getting in touch with ones body - by making it do what it never has done before! - but working w/the mind & techniques to integrate the two together. Last week, after a particularly vigorous series of stretches, moves & meditation, my left shoulder pain, that's been bugging me for a few months, disappeared...There are a lot of lovely non-judgemental staff & students to help you on your journey...highly recommend..

I don't know where to start, but Ravenna Park, yoga & tai chi masters sparked my entire being throughout my first month there, it's the spark I'm seeking for years, if you're reading this, you might be looking to see if yoga and tai chi can inrich your life, I know I'm a stranger to you, but trust me, look no further. You'll find beyond what you are seeking for here. Lifting up your entire being is essential with great instructors.
Thank you

The positive and welcoming attention to every participant by the staff, the clean , light and bright surroundings and the music accompanying the sessions keep me coming back. Since I am 77 years old, I need these exercises to keep the flexibility necessary for functioning in my daily activities. I appreciate the sharing after the classes because it engenders a sense of community.

The Tai Chi class here is a wonderful change of pace from yoga classes or typical martial arts and of course the grind of a gym. Instead of fixating on future goals in training or forcing those stretches, it asks you to be present and move and then the benefits come so much more naturally. A great stress reliever for those us with crazy busy lives.

It has taken me a lifetime to find Body & Brain Yoga Tai chi center. They offer a positive community environment in which to find my true inner self. It encourages me to express myself truthfully and openly for the goodness of all of earth's creations.

Before Body & Brain I have had severe PTSD and trauma stored in my body and muscles and have not slept for most of my lifetime. I was only able to sleep 2-3 hours and I would wake up in a panic. This was impacting my whole life - I was feeling anxious and depressed with panic and anxiety. Through the classes and one on one private sessions, I was able to release stored negative energies from my body. Now I can rest through the night, for the first time in my life, allow my body to heal and release and replace the stuck stagnant energy that was a big part of my PTSD with positive healing energy.

It's not easy for me to take some time off my busy schedule but every time I come, I always found it worth it as my mind calmed down and I felt more energetic for the rest of my day. I also sleep better at night. no need for sleeping aid anymore. I must keep coming everyday for my stronger body and mind so that I can do more in my life!

A friday evening tai-chi class with master martin is something that we look forward to. Its a great way to end a busy week, turning focus from outside to inside, giving inner peace and recharge us for a good weekend.

Balancing exercises are good for my joints! My hunch back has been straighter and I always feel more energy after the class.

I have arthritis in my spine. Since doing the plate balancing exercise before i go to bed at night, i wake up in the morning symptom free.
I no longer need to take naproxen before bed.
