Reviews of Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi
Andrea Mendoza
I will never forget the day I first met some of the BR region Masters ( Master Christine, Master Jo , Master Arthur and volunteer staff!) at the awaken fair for an aura reading and chair massage. Automatically you feel a wave of welcoming, humble, loving energy emitting from them right away. Its quite emotional and funny to talk about it right now. as I look back to when I started in October 2021 and how much Master Jo, Master Christine , Master Susan and Master Bama and more have helped me get to where I am now.
To continue , when I first stepped foot into the Wellness center, I was welcomed by Master Susan, who I had a great conversation with while I got set up . Master Jo then gave me a thorough and mind blowing Intro session where he deeply described and broke down so many amazing things about the practice that honestly kept planting a seed of hope inside me especially with my Health Conditions and worries (Asthma , anxiety, insecurities, Ulcerative Colitis).
I no longer have anxiety!
I no longer have to use my emergency inhaler during the winter time !
I no longer need my medicine for my colon disease!
I have so much more love , confidence and trust in myself !
I no longer stop myself in my goals and dreams because I look through the victim consciousness and choose my master consciousness, my true self.
Thanks to all the brain education, finding my true self work and the instructors, all of this was made possible. I took back my brain and my life .
The gratitude I have for this place comes from the knowing of who I was and would still be before I stepped in the center to now . =‘)
This is my safe haven .
They truly care about you beyond the symptoms and emotion they make u understand how to get to the root of the problem and nothing works better the preventative medicine and self love.
I continue to choose myself through a utilization of tapping into my self healing potential, investing in to my self love , brain education and guidance.
My mind , body and soul are thriving!

Over the summer I had the opportunity to go to Hero’s night and it was one of the best experiences of 2022. I was able to start the healing process and really find a way to connect with myself internally and Block out all the nose from the fear of going to a place that unconsciously I didn’t want to go to. It really opened my eyes and gave me an open heart to explore myself in many ways and continue to explore everyday. For anyone looking at this, I promise that you will find something in this for you that’s special and unique, the staff is amazing and they really care about each person. I found about this place through two amazing friends.Forever grateful

This place is amazing! It has provided me with piece of mind and a safe place to move my body. The best thing about it is that anyone can do the exercises. The breathing and stretching that I learned to do helps me focus and keeps both my body and mind strong. The Masters that run the class are also so welcoming and I feel that they truly care about me. How many places do you know will call you if you haven't been in after 2 weeks? Only a job and not for any good reason. So if you're looking for a place to relax, tone your body and challenge your brain, come join this group. You won't be sorry.

I really enjoy the classes here. The classes have helped my digestion and develop my lower back strength. In addition, the classes helped me manage my stress and I am less agitated during the day. The studio is calm and peaceful and the teachers are warm, friendly and supportive. If you want to improve your physical and mental health I highly recommend taking classes. I love the classes and the people.

I came across Body and Brain by accident online . It caught my interest and I ended up calling and speaking with Master Susan and we had a good conversation about the classes. I came for an Intro session right away!
It's been a month since and I already feel an improvement in my overall health condition .My eye sight has improved at night, my back pain is better and I have alot more mental clarity .I'm starting to feel like my true self again ,I am healing little by little and I feel stronger, more flexible.

SUCH a pleasant and peaceful environment! Saying I look forward to each and every session is an understatement and I actually feel lighter and always at peace when I leave. The center is filled with love, light and incredible energy. Namaste 🙏 …
Nichel Tomlinson
What’s not to love about this place!! The second you walk through the door u feel a sense of calm and relaxation. The classes are more than stretching but about connecting with our inner selves to understand and heal the body and mind. I love this place 😍 …
Laura S
Master Bama is a rare and special healer totally committed to the path of awareness, unity and the importance of finding one’s “true” self.
She has a great gift for getting to the heart of one’s issue(s) and breaking down the barrier between ill heath (be it mental, physical or emotional) and a life of wellness and peace. Without judgement.
I recommend her highly to anyone looking for a healing master.
Brittany Rega
My experience over all was a 10 out of 10. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with so much kindness and love. Master Christine and Master Susan were extremely supportive and knowledgeable. Ive been with bodynbrain for about 2 years now and feel my connection to the essence of my true much deeper. Beyond just becoming more emotionally stable, this practice has allowed me to strengthen my autoimmune condition and manage my skeletal issues.
Cori Natalie
I feel so safe here. I never feel nervous to go. The environment is very clean and closely connected. The group classes are rejuvenating and settling. It's like an antidote to stress. The classes helped me connect more to myself and were physically relieving. We have tea time after class sometimes and it's an amazing environment especially when dealing with outside problems.
Leticia Paulino
A place where my soul found its home.
Self-healing, Self-love, Appreciation, gratitude, compassion. All in one center.
My second home 🏡 💕 …

I love this yoga a studio which is so much more than just yoga!! I have been a member now for a year and a half and I find myself totally hooked on it!! I come 3-4 times a week and really miss it when I'm away. The Masters are extremely encouraging, knowledgeable, warm and kind. Often after class we are invited to stay for tea and to chat with the other members. We are encouraged to grow spiritually as well as in body and mind. I know some people feel intimidated by the idea of doing yoga, but the classes are appropriate for all ages and all levels of fitness. Some people do chair yoga if that's what they need. Everyone is comfortable at their own level and encouraged to do more at their own pace.

I love coming here whenever I can . The Taichi class , yoga classes are amazing . Our teachers are dedicated and very well trained in the different practices! It's special !
Ranjit Kapila
I strongly recommend Brain and Body Yoga. I have been a member for about 3 years now. I initially joined just to get in better shape and lose some weight. I met these initial goals in my first 4 to 6 months. In that time I also realized that I had found a place with so much more.
There is strong sense of community and the masters take a very personal interest in the health and well being of each member. My wife and daughter tried a few classes and both have now been members for some time. We each get different things out of it based on our goals including flexibility, health improvements, positivity, mindfulness, personal growth or just a fun workout.
Try it out - its fun and the instructors will be there to help you along the way.

Going into my first introduction class at the center I did not know what to expect but I received more than I could have ever imagined! It was more than just achieving physical goals, it was about gaining deeper clarity about who you are and being surrounded with loving people to push you along the journey. I’ve only been a part of the center for a month and it has already grown me tremendously! Thank you Master Joe and Master Susan for your selfless efforts and encouragement each day. You are the guiding lights this world needs and I am grateful to have found a safe space with you :)
Antoinette Collica
I entered this center in June of 2021. It’s no exaggeration that this practice has changed my life in the best ways possible. I found a family within this new home and my overall mentality towards my day to day life has improved because of the practices I have learned from the masters here. The environment is very relaxed and the masters really set a tone of warmth, compassion, and that push you need to overcome certain life obstacles.

I am so grateful to have found Body & Brain near me! For ages I had seen pamphlets, and it took a recommendation from a friend to get into it. As a yoga teacher stuck in the times of COVID-19, I felt my spiritual practice and self discipline dwindling. B&B provided me with not only the tools I needed to get back on track, but also a wonderfully enriching community of like minded individuals. I feel honored to witness the growth of others as I learn different ways to grow as well.
The teachers are kind and knowledgeable, and there is something for everyone. I loved the Finding True Self workshop I participated in with Master Jo, and am enjoying morning and evening meditations with Master Bama that have helped me shift my energy so I can have calm and productive days. Thank you B&B! ♥
Peggy Jacobson
I love Body & Brain Yoga. I have been doing this for 2 years and was so grateful to be able to participate online when the pandemic hit. The Masters are very knowledgeable. In two years, I've developed strength and flexibility that I wouldn't have believed could be possible for me. I am 71 but I feel so much younger. However, my favorite part is the calm and tranquility that this practice provides for me. It's the best!
Meli Almonte
I had the pleasure of taking private classes with Master Susan. Master Susan is a gentle soul that guided me through an enlightened spiritual path. Every week we discussed any challenges that I faced and together created goals that included stretching, breathing exercises and meditation practices that allowed me to reflect on my thoughts and actions. Her classes had a good balance of refection time and hands on healing. She even checked in on me during the week and provided guidance when needed. I know that I will continue to use her teachings for years to come.

I found Body & Brain Yoga when I was searching for Yoga studios near my job. I had recently been promoted at work, a move that pushed me out of my comfort zone and upped my stress levels exponentially. I knew I had to do something good for myself to keep from burning out. I’ve done boot camps and high intensity workouts in the past but this time I needed something different for my frazzled nerves. What made me choose Body & Brain over a traditional Yoga studio (besides the interesting name) were the classes. It was the first time that I had ever seen balancing energy mentioned in a class description and I instantly felt like, yes, that is for me, that is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I signed up online to try a class sight unseen, having not a clue as to what it would be like. And I’m so glad I did. The space is a sanctuary of good vibes. The Masters are amazing, no words on a screen could do them justice, you just have to meet them. The members are equally amazing, and as another reviewer mentioned, there is a lot of diversity among the members which is a major plus for me as well. I’ve been going for about two months now and it’s become more than a class that I go to for exercise or stress relief, it’s become a lifestyle. And as I’m getting to know everyone it’s like a family as well. I’m definitely less stressed, more in tune with my body, and overall a lot happier than I was when I started. So grateful for this experience.
Leticia Amar
My 16th year old daughter brought me to this place, I've been a member in this location for almost 3 months now. This is my happy place🤗, or our happy place I may say. I look forward everyday for a class. Since I started coming here, my anxiety disappeared. I'm more calm, more relaxed and more compassionate towards my kids, friends and family. I am more aware of my body and I lost a few pounds already. This is not a regular yoga studio, it's more than that: it's a center and a community of people who care for this world and humanity. At this point I no longer feel the need to see a psychologist, I can balance my own emotions and take care of myself. THANK YOU BODY AND BRAIN and thank you my amazing masters for guiding me in this journey!!!
Ila Vinchkoski
I feel very balanced energetically and strong both mentally, as well as, physically when I practice yoga and meditation at Brain and Body. The classes throughout the week offer a nice variety of challenging movements, exercises and stretching. The classes are easily adapted to meet the needs of all the students in the class, and the teachers do a great job of adjusting the levels of difficulty based on their student’s needs. Master Jo brings fun and laughter to every one of his classes which is an extra added bonus to his skillful teaching and insights. The community of people who practice at Brain and Body are extremely kind and welcoming to anyone who steps through the door. After class you have an opportunity to share with other members tea, your awakening during the practice and hugs!
Marcia Lopez
This is a great studio. The teachers are excellent and they each have their own area of expertise and emphasis. I am definitely not an expert, but I have been going for about a month and all the teachers are very professional and knowledgeable. They are very welcoming and make everyone feel a sense belonging. I find that I can truly relax and recharge at this studio. The studio space itself is beautiful, quiet, and well thought out. Mats are provided which is really helpful when taking a class right after work. I have learned yoga pose which have helped me with my rheumatoid arthritis and my body stiffness.
Meredith Lewis
There is magic happening behind these walls. Energy healing magic. I came to Brain and Body Yoga after not having exercised in many months due to some health issues. I am not one for group exercise typically, so I wasn't sure I would be able to commit to actually belonging to a center, but I became a member after the very first session. This morning curmudgeon will even attend the 9 a.m. Saturday classes because it's the best way to start a day.
Some highlights:
Lovely instructors/masters that are engaged, knowledgeable, and caring
Hugs from the instructors/masters - the type that are warming and make you feel validated.
A tea ceremony after classes that allow members to socialize, reflect, and relax.
Classes that become familiar but are varied enough to challenge you in different ways. Master Jo has a knack for weaving a theme or a lesson throughout each that makes you feel like you have journeyed somewhere but returned home when you open your eyes.
A diverse group of members who are more focused on becoming balanced and healthy than on evaluating each other's newest pair of Lululemons.
I am grateful to have found this center and hope to delve into more of what it has to offer.
Karen Matthews
Love the space to come and reconnect with my body. Lovely people, teachers, and an atmosphere of healing and calm.

One of the first aspects of The Westchester Body and Brain center that I would like to highlight is the very warm and inviting welcome you receive at the front door ... truly unique! This "wellness center" offers an opportunity for its members to grow physically, mentally, emotionally and/or spiritually. The Masters are amazing! They are all highly trained and extremely dedicated to their goal of helping people lead healthier, happy lives. The center offers many services from yoga and Tai Chi classes, to private healing sessions, specialized workshops, festivals, book talks, social events, etc. I have been a member for several years and have truly loved the various events I have attended. I continue to grow in many areas of my life, and I feel so blessed to be a part of this "community."
Cynthia M Chase
This group is unique. Their offerings are integrative and innovative. From Yoga to Martial arts the classes are designed to strengthen, tone and stretch. At the same time we are educated and challenged to move beyond our limitations of both body and mind. Each teacher is a gift! My individual sessions with Master Jo are amazing! Green tea and sharing after class give the sense of a caring family. I am grateful for it all. And one year later I confirm my original posting: I am so grateful!

I'm happy to have found Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi of Westchester. I've been a member almost a yr now and I must admit that I've come a long way my mobility, stability, flexibility & strength has improved a great deal, I even lost 15lbs. Master John & Master Bama has also been a positive force of energy they take the time to explain what each yoga & tai chi exercises/movements are for and what part of the body & organs it affects for the better. Yoga & Tai Chi classes are great we have alot of fun it's always full. I'm so addicted to the classes that I had to tell my friends to come & experience what I've been experiencing @ B&BYTC all 3 have become members. I also renewed my membership already for Mar 2021. Overall I must say I made the best investment for myself!!

October 2020 -
Just writing to update a review of my experiences with Body and Brain Westchester.
In January 2020, I had right knee replacement and I needed major PT just to relearn walking without a cane, doing stairs up and down, stepping up and down from a curb, 100% straightening of the leg and achieving 135 degrees of ROM bend. So PT discharged me.
But I was still not myself. So I took two 4 week classes from Master Susan (Toms) in healing Qigong. And yes I learned about the Chakras and learning to harness my energy to relieve stress, relieve pain and become more centered. But I still wanted to learn more! So I signed up for individual sessions with Master Susan.
What I learned was amazing. Master Bama taught in finding True Self that we need to heal from within to deal with the stresses and aches and pains caused by stress. The long but not complete healing from my knee replacement was aggravating me.
Working one on one with Master Susan (Toms) helped me to integrate the meditational breathing, the energy healing, and to tailor the Tai Chi to the "new me". I now have better balance and everyday tasks are easier, safer, less frustrating. Because I have found ways to tailor or modify the position of my arms, legs, neck, etc. to align with how I (as an individual) can do the movements, get the most benefits from them, feel less stress in my daily tasks, increase my independence and stamina and all around feel happier about who I am and what I can do.
Together she taught me a routine to start and end my day allowing me to stretch and destress. Also, exercises to help me throughout the day to not stress about the difficulties I was experiencing in my healing process.
It is not about what you can't do! It is about how to do in a way that you are able to do it. Being mindful and focusing on your inner strength and applying that to the classes and your everyday life is a special gift that makes me a happier person.
Once again Body and Brain Yoga/Tai Chi has taken me past a difficult situation and helped me to move on to a better place in my life.
September 2019 -
I must write to exclaim my appreciation to Master BaMa for her healing, guidance and support during my difficult period of illness this spring. I found myself with a combination of a possible return of cancer, severe hypothyroidism, a major flare up of rheumatoid arthritis and a big case of fatigue and difficulty with the uncertainty of my conditions.
Master BaMa helped me with healing sessions, great advice, nutritional guidance and being a great listener. She helped me with the headaches, relieving the aches and edema and reducing the stress.
Thankfully, everything was put into control and Master BaMa was an important part in my recovery. Western medicine only goes so far. But the healing sessions helped me keep grounded and finding some relief until the doctors figured it all out.
Thank you Master BaMa!!!
Lauren Walsh
My mother and I have been members for 4 months and it's been empowering. It's a very unique practice and makes you focus on other physical exercises that you would miss if you just went to a regular gym. It has reduced my anxiety and helps me stay more focused and engages at work. It's helped me uncover what truly makes me happy and to reach for it. The instructors are wonderful and extremely caring. Always happy to lend a helping hand!!! :)
Elana Goodridge
I recently started the Acupressure Energy Healing program with Master Bama. I eagerly volunteered to receive her healing and had an incredible feeling of warmth and energy from her in our class. Then yesterday I gave 5 chair massages at a corporate Heath fair nearby. I intend to become a certified NJ healer this next year! I was really happy when I was told I had very warm hands and relaxed people. It felt so nice to give my positive warm energy to people! I will still give my photography to people but this was an additional way to give positive energy to heal more people. In this current climate with so much hate, anger and negativity, I really needed to find a meaningful bigger way to help! I do love hugging people! Thanks for seeing the healer in me and giving me the opportunity to heal others as well!
Roman Gekhman
I practice Dahn Yoga in Scarsdale, NY studio (and other centers in Manhattan and New Jersey) since 2006. I found the system, its teachers and quality of classes of high standards. They are all professional trainers and treat students with respect.
Another benefit is that the students are exposed to other teachers and healers of the system as the latter are occasionally invited to regional centers, where they demonstrate and teach self-healing and other useful methods. Personally, I found this absolutely valuable to my spiritual training.
I recommend this system to all my friends as the benefits of self-healing are quite clear with commitment to your health and continuous practice. Once you begin the positive changes in health condition and results of training can be felt within first 2 weeks. (IMHO)
With Love and Smiles :)
Jeanette Martinelli Williford
I truly love going to the classes and I miss it when my life gets to be too busy with taking care of my beautiful little boy, work, my school work since I have gone back to get a second Master's degree in Special Education. This is a truly amazing experience and I feel the love for myself and for everyone around me. I realize that unconditional love start with me and builds outwards. I continue to grow my growth mindset and I also realize that I have so much inner strength. I encourage people to come to our center because I'm sure that you will feel all of the love, support, strength, inner peace, balance, etc. in your lives too.
C Keaveney
I have only been a member for 3 or 4 weeks but I cannot speak highly enough of this place. I found it through google and after reading the reviews I had to check it out. After taking my first class and meeting Master Jo i quickly realized what all the talk was about and I knew this is what I needed to help me cope with my anxiety and panic issues. Every class is different and every body is so welcoming. Master Jo and Master BaMa bring so much love and laughter to each class, along with giving you great insight and tips on how to maintain a healthy body and brain. Highly recommend this place to anybody no matter what journey you’re on.
Marshall Sterman
Dahn Yoga Scarsdale provides an enjoyable combination of exercises that work your body head to toe. The classes are beneficial to all regardless of your current fitness level. The classes combine stretching, aerobic movement, strength, breathing and meditation, all with a focus of self healing. In my first 2 months my energy level and range of motion have significantly improved. The instructors and friendly members make it a very enjoyable experience.
Kristen Sommer
I came here and took classes for a week. I had to say that it was the first yoga class that I actually liked. I had fun, I laughed, and the instructor encouraged me to go at my own pace. What I liked best? No skimpy gym clothes. As a large woman, I hate standing out in my baggy t-shirt and sweats, but I felt very comfortable, as if I was not being watched due to my weight.
The exercises were unique, but the instructor was kind enough to talk with me (after class) about the most common exercises and how they could help me. I was impressed by how informative it was.
This is actually the second time that I came for a week of classes, and using what I learned from what I shared above, I actually got more out of my class experience. I could release my stress, relax, and enjoy the rest of my day in a calm way, instead of being on edge. If lived closer to this yoga center, I would come every day.

I had been looking for a new way to exercise and rebalance my body and finally found it at Body and Brain! I used to talk traditional yoga classes but I felt like something was missing. When I first went to body and brain I could tell that this is what I needed right away. The Masters there are amazing. What I love most about it is it gives you the power to manage your energy with their simple and practical exercises. This is a truly special place to take care of your mind, body and soul.
Sueliz Melendez
Body and Brain is so much more than just an exercise studio! The masters of the center are ALL amazing, compassionate, and interesting. They offer insight, education, and a sense of community. It is a place that facilitates self awareness. They help you understand a way to develop a better relationship with yourself- body, mind, and spirit. It'll leave you with a lasting impression while working up a sweat, regardless of age, conditions, or self-appointed physical or mental limitations.
Joseph Panat
This center stands true to it's name "Body & Brain". The program they offer is wholistic and it focus on the Body and Brain. The masters at the center are very welcoming and dedicated. The reason for me to join was to get my blood pressure under control. I have been coming to class for the past three months and my blood pressure is now under control. I highly recommend this place to anyone that want to take care of themselves both physically and emotionally. You will feel the calmness as soon as walk in.
MaryAnn Brouillard
I was introduced by Master Susan to the Westchester Body & Brain Yoga & Tai Chi, to whom I am grateful for her gentle guidance and encouragement. I have taken classes and courses that have brought me back to my spiritual and energetic self-healing path through Meridian work, Organ Energy Detox, stretching meditation, and Energy Core work, and several other courses that are offered by highly knowledgeable & authentic Master teachers. Presently taking “Living Tao” with Master Bama, a brilliantly humble guide, who has deep insight and knowing, teaches Ilchi Lee’s work as it should be ‘experienced.’
As a lifelong seeker and energy worker myself, I am so grateful to all of them at B & B, as we share our journeys and learn from each other on how to experience the path to enlightenment.
Looking forward to the full day workshop on January 16th, “Finding True Self,” I’m sure there are many more ahha moments to come.
Blessings, Love, & Light,
MaryAnn Brouillard

Joining the Daha Yoga program is one of the best choices I have made in my life. It has been a life changing experience for me over the everyday Dahn Yoga practice. It is not a simple physical exercise, but a combination of physical and mind work. Through the exercise, I have learned how to relax, how to heal myself and how to develop positive thinking.The health problems, such as fatigue, back pain and cold body etc, also have been gradually eased. The inner peace I have gained from the everyday practice is immensely valuable. I am still in the learning process, but I can feel the change everyday in a positive way.
The instructors in the Scarsdale center are friendly and supportive. The instruction and guidance from them are clear and thoughtful. The classes are well planned, fun and and purposeful. I always come out of the classes with a peaceful mind and a relaxed body. It is a way of living.
Clara Sanchez
I was looking for a yoga center that offered classes plus meditation and wellness. I tried a few before finding Dahn Yoga. On my first visit, I knew that I was coming back, the classes are unique and energizing, the instructors are enthusiastic, knowledgable and encouraging..
I have been attending for six weeks and I am so glad I found this place, it has changed my life. I feel like a new person.
Giuseppina Vitetta
My doctor said to me “so what medications are you taking now?” I said “Nothing.” After one month of diligently attending classes at this beautiful center, I went back to my doctor for new bloodwork and all of my hormone levels were now normal. If you are looking for healing this is the place to go. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually or whatever kind of healing you’re looking for. I dare even say if you are not looking for healing this is the place to go. It is really difficult for me to express all of the positive changes I have undergone since I started attending. I am finally getting to know who I really am and I am on the way to finding my true purpose. This was one of the best decisions I ever made. Thank you.
Larissa D'Amato
Life changing event! I joined Dahn Yoga Center in Scarsdale about 2 years ago. I had a lot of problems with my body at that time, including lower back pain and severe headaches. Two years later, after regular exercises (3 times a week) I am a healthiest person walking this planet, and I can even teach classes myself. I want to spread good news that there is always HOPE for any person. Please come and join us on your path to happy and healthy life.
John Rios
This place has been one of the biggest factors in my personal healing. The people here are completely committed to your growth and healing. Very knowledgeable in all elements of physical, emotional and mental healing. I highly recommend Body and Brain.
T. Z.
This center is a place where I can really relax; the feeling of just entering the center is so peaceful and calming. The masters there are amazing and welcome everyone with an open heart and smiles. After my yoga sessions I feel stronger, more motivated, energized, and happier. I highly recommend this place.
Walter Helfer
This is the first time I've ever gone to an exercise gym; I'm fifty-seven. Body+Brain strips away the reservations of signing up for a complex yoga program or a difficult tai chi regimen. The teachers are friendly and motivated. Don't worry about getting bound up in some spooky Eastern discipline; the exercises are fun! Friends have noticed the change in my spunk and appearance. They say I've really cheered up!
Nalini Juthani
I have been a life member since 2006. I have learned a lot to keep my mind, body and spirit in sync. My masters over the years have been dedicated to the members' well-being. Our current master Jo is amazingly well rounded. He is truly caring and dedicated to the members. My only suggestion to the head quarters is to keep good masters in for long enough time for the benefit of the center and the members.
Jolene Trifiletti
I have been a member since March 2019 along with my friend . We have found the atmosphere welcoming as well as the wonderful staff, Master Joe, Master Daehan, and Master Bama. Clients are all nice people and it feels like a family. There is a variety of classes to participate in, always different and sometimes challenging. My friend also takes private classes with Master Joe , which he finds very beneficial. I would highly recommend this Center, we love it!

I have been a member of this location for less than two months. However, since I started here, I've noticed so many changes within myself; phsically, emotionally, and spiritually. Until last year, I had always been a very busy, working mother. I dealt with an overwhelming workload at my job, and also had to take care my child. Gradually, I found myself becoming not only physically weak, but psychologically weak as well.
Sitting in a chair all day at work made my joints become noticeably more weak. The pain left leg and hip area was so bad, I wasn't even able to sit on the floor without hurting. Sometimes, I had such bad headaches that I couldn't sleep at night. My mental health suffered, and I struggled with chronic nervousness, anxiety, and depression.
Amazingly, ever since I began taking classes at this location, I have seen constant improvements in my health and wellbeing. In only one month, not only have I become able to sit on the floor without pain, but my mind has become full of happiness and joy. My headaches have disappeared, and I've become more able to control my own sleep schedule. I am a more energetic, positive person, and it almost feels like I've sprouted wings on my back!
When I took the energy training, I learned that I had many energetic blockages in my body and mind. The training taught me how to clear these blockages. Now, I feel like the sun has come out from behind clouds, and my body and mind are finally able to connect to its natural energy. This is truly a revolutionary approach to holistic health training, which has countless more benefits than only focusing on training your physical body. I hope many people will have the opportunity to receive this training, and improve their own health and overall quality of life.
I deeply appreciate the life-changing efforts and work of Master Jo, Master Dae-Han, and Master BaMa. All of the Masters truly care for each person whose life they touch. They are dedicated to helping every individual achieve a happier, healthier life. Again, I would like to express my tremendous gratitude for all my Masters, and everything they do on a daily basis.

I am in my fifties, heavy set woman with a lot of health problems. All my life i knew how to be a caretaker, and I totally forgot to take care of myself until last year I got very sick. I had a lot of hospital visits and almost die twice. It was a wake up call. I was so sick, I had to rely on people to care for me. I felt a disconnection from my mind and body. I felt very lost and unhappy. While I had a lot of time in the hospital I reflected on what I have done to myself. This was many years I put in caring for others and long hours in a job that was not worth my time and energy. I can't blame anyone because it was my body and my brain I have to care for and I didn't. Thanks to my daughter who took me to Body & Brain Yoga class I truly can say that I am connected to my body and brain thanks to this center. They didn't care about my age, weight or my health problems because they are helping me work through all my life problems. I want to thank Master Jo, Master Susan, Master Bama, and Master Daehan!

My experience with Dahn Yoga has been sensational. I leave work tense and stressed and when I finish class I'm relaxed . happy and social. The exercises are terrific for your health and the breathing opens your heart and mind. I am here to stay.

I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for self improvement of all kinds. I've been a member for a little under two months and the changes within myself have been amazing! Not only has my body benefited but my mind and emotional state have improved drastically. Upon arrival, expect to be greeted and welcomed with big smiles and hugs! To me, their officially considered Westchesters Best Kept Secret!!!!!

If you are looking for a place to find health, happiness & peace of mind, the center is the plac e to go.

I am profoundly grateful to have found the Westchester Dahn Yoga Center. The unique programs completely turned a "couch potato" to an enthusiastic devotee of movement and exercise. It restored my mobility, after extensive back surgery, where other programs failed to achieve results. The success of the program has to do with their philosophy of brain wave vibration, breath work, yoga, and Tai Chi. The other component that makes this program successful is the warm, caring, compassionate staff, Master Jo and Master Tae Kyun. Their dedication and guidance keeps you coming back. You will experience the joy of movement and an opening of heart-felt emotions that are healing on all levels. There are workshops, meditation circles, community events, and even a relaxing tea time hour. It is truly an all encompassing holistic enviornment. I highly recommend this wonderful studio and I'm glad to be a loyal member. (letter written from Merel Greenfield member for 2 years)

I love taking classes at this Dahn Yoga Center for many, many reasons. Dahn yoga has changed my life in various ways. I feel better healthier, stronger, more agile, happier, and more zest for life. I feel the difference physically, mentally and spiritually! For me, I feel this center has all I need in those areas to live a better, happier, and stronger life. And, I believe it is because of the loving enrergy here from the 2 Masters Jo and Daehan. Their caring ways and their excellence, knowlegde of the body's system and how to help it is beyond anything else that I have ever experienced, I recommend it to everyone if you want you want to feel better and happier,

I attended the Energy Calligraphy Meditation workshop with Master Bama this afternoon. I never tried Calligraphy before, especially this type but I thought it sounded interesting. It certainly was! The kit and a frame was supplied and we were able to create several designs and even a beautiful framed gift. I plan to look into Calligraphy meditation further and continue to practice what I learned today. I enjoyed this workshop tremendously. I'm looking forward to future presentations like this. I'll be there!

Attending classes and healing sessions multiple times a week for a year. Have seen a major improvement in health. Improved my overall energy and flexibility. I work in the finance industry at a very stressful job and struggled with joint and hip pain. Now able to stretch all joints and hips without pain. Also, now much calmer during stressful and anxiety provoking situations at both work and home. Highly recommend the classes to dramatically improve both physical and mental condition

I'll never forget my first private healing with Jonathan that took place at a New York city location. I think it may have been back in 2012-2013? I was so new to the world of spirituality. There was a light in Jonathan that I couldn't help, but desire access to. I asked myself, "how can I become this light? How can I view life through this healthier perspective? How could I stop being victim to my circumstances? How could I grow? Where was my guidance?" Jonathan was the key. I am so grateful to have been blessed with such a gem of a human being in this lifetime. It's been at least 4 years now that I've been embarking on a journey of healing and expanding my consciousness. I don't know where I would be without his assistance, guidance and healing. I remember not even knowing what an energy healing was, but knowing that I needed healing. Jonathan has been so patient, attentive, present and authentic during my journey. Assisting in my evolution by speaking hard truth when I need to hear it, helping me see when my ego is at play, and congratulating my growth along the way. I've had private sessions and attended his classes and they have both been extremely beneficial to my growth. I've had several different experiences during private sessions, but all nothing short of amazing. Thank you Jonathan and Body and Brain for being such an amazing light in my life. Please continue lighting the way for our mass awakening with your courage and grace xo.

Westchester Body and Brain is a wonderful place; I have been coming here for several months. I am already 30 pounds lighter and have seen incredibly growth in all aspects of my life. I highly recommend coming here to exponentially increase your spiritual and physical well being. This center is an essential part of my life.
Robin Newberger
This has been life changing. Enter the next chapter of my life really not prepared for all the changes occurring. I stumbled upon two masters at whole foods and was immediately drawn to them. I was depressed and aimless and four months later I am revived physically and mentally stronger, spiritually connected and awakened to my life force and how to bring it forth everyday. Come and join us and find purpose and health. Oh and I lost 12 lbs.
Lynda Wagner
I was not a believer in the healing powers of non traditional medicine. I am now.
My amazing awakening happened upon private healing with Master BAMA Kim.
I am stronger and clearer since my sessions.
Not only in my session, but the lessons I have carried home and apply to my daily life.
Sebastian Burbano
I am 19 years old and my mother initially brought me to this place because I needed to relax. This was oh so very true and I thank her for introducing me to such a wonderful , light-hearted place. Ever since I have been going here I have found myself to be more open and caring to everyone possible. I have learned to be soft when it is difficult to be and have improved my overall quality of life. I am also a recent attendee of the Finding True Self Workshop! This has helped awaken my inner child and be free! I recommend this place for everyone!

I love Westchester body and brain. Because it's has helped me tremendously, I started a few week ago. It was kind of not my thing, but now I look forward to be here.

But since I started come here I am sooo much better. Thank you westchester body and brain.

BodynBrain Yoga & Tai chi offers so much more than an exercise class it is an experience. I have never come across anything else like it. Each class is designed to rebalance your energy system. I have received so many benefits from this practice. I no longer suffer from frequent migraines, I feel much more emotionally balanced and I have learned how to make better choices in all areas of my life by taking advantage of the many soul searching workshops they offer. It is hard to explain in words...you just have to try it to find out for yourself.
Olga Botero
Absolutely a great place with knowledgeable, helpful masters and a most inviting vibe.
This has been a wonderful place for me. As someone that is new to yoga I am glad that I found them and would recommend Body&Brain for anyone that wants to explore and learn yoga at any level.
Jose Rosa
When I first entered the studio, I wanted to sleep. That is how relaxing the studio made me feel. And I just walked in for a brochure. Since then, I have experienced not only relaxation but a building level of confidence. Stick with the routine and you will notice a change for the better.

Let me just start by saying how thankful I am for meeting master jo and masterr bama that day in whole food. I now have high hopes for the future. I am a polio victim, my left leg has been thru several operation. I 've had bone fusion,stapling, muscle tightening and more I also had about four years of therapy. After all that my leg was still very very weak. I walk with crutches. I had a private lesson with master jo. That day I went home feeling some sensation in my left leg, that night I couldn't sleep. Something was happening . there was some tingling and spasms going on. I thank master jo and master bama for inviting me to the center. I thought that with my leg in such condition yoga was impossible. I'm very happy to say , I'm now into my eight weeks of yoga,and my leg it's gotten stronger, with the Assistance of a cane I could now balance myself for a few seconds ( which it's a lot for me)and I continue to get stronger everyday. stepping into the center it's very welcoming, comfortable, peaceful. I HAD never been in a place where all you feel it's positive energy . Everyone its WONDERFUL master jo, master bama ,master Dae thank you so much for believing in me.....i love you guys.
Elisa Camacho
I've heard that saying things out loud sends a message to the universe. It's not that I don't believe in it, it's just that I still have so much more to learn. However, this time around, I got lucky. I expressed to a friend that I felt like I needed to feel centered. I referred to it as a 'cleanse.' She excitedly told me about a friend. Someone she thought of so highly and respected. His name is Johnathan. That's all it took. I reached out, he responded & that's how my journey began. I remember feeling so nervous driving to the center, as I got closer to the door, I was even scared. But I'm so glad I pulled through because the second I walked through the door, I was greeted with a warm smile, a personable hello, everyone knew my name & hugs. I'm up to my 3rd class today but so eager to learn & become a better me. Visiting this center has made me realize that what I'm looking for is so much bigger than I imagined and I'm in the right place to guide me in that direction. Each one of them (instructors) are wonderful. Grateful already, thank you.

I came to Dahn yoga because I wanted to try out tai chi. I thought it was going to be "business as usual, and boy was I up to an adventurous ride. I have seen my body transform in ways I could only dream of in the past. I have been doing other forms of yoga before, and Dahn was what really moved the needle for me. I have gained such great degree of flexibility and control of my body that now I have confidence to venture into things like aerial yoga (which before was only a dream). I have also dropped a dress size in short 4 months

I've a member of this location for 5 months now and not only myself, but the people around me had noticed the improvements on my daily way of living. It had improved my physical and emotional health but at the same time it's providing me with new tools to help myself overcome the "bumps on the road" and that way, help lift the people around me.
I'd recommend this place to everyone !!

Miho Nasu
This is not a mere yoga studio. It teaches you combination of yoga, tai chi, stretch, meditation and makes you stronger physically and help you focus on your inner self. I am enjoying attending classes.
Matt Vilardi
I started a few weeks ago; I can tell the instructors are dedicated to the well being of their students. So far I've noticed that I have better posture and maybe a calmer demeanor. Looking forward to my further progress.
june kramer
Dahn yoga isn't regular yoga- in the way that you only work out your physical form. Dahn yoga's focus is to awaken your physical body so that you can reconnect with your human charcter (soul, inner voice) and listen to your heart- once you've reunited with your human charcter you can open heavens gate and reconnect with your divinity -because we were all created from the divine source. Yes life is suffering, life is hard but once you recognize you have the ability to overcome all obstables you can dance, sing and laugh at the so called sufferings of life. Life is short you must take advantage of the programs dahn yoga has to offer so that you can use your brain to its full potential! The world needs you to be fully awakened and using your brain to its best ability so that you can share your gifts.
Lori Silva
