Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi — Local services in Honolulu

I stumbled upon this place after attending a Yelp Event. Coming with yoga mat in hand I realized that this place is a hidden gem where all you need is YOU.

We placed our yoga mats in the next room and started a warm up like no other. The goal was to build heat in our core, clear the mind, and realign. AND IT WORKED! The controlled movements seemed perfectly designed to warm the body and at the same time relax.

Master Cat came in like a ray of light, full of energy and ready to play. The hour that followed was full of stretching and movement that challenged us, but above the challenge gave us extra energy. By the end of the class I was sweaty, but felt light and at peace. I was revived and ready to take on the rest of my day.

We got a book written by the center’s founder Ill Chi Lee. Between the book and that first experience I couldn’t stay away.

Since then I’ve been going for a couple months and can see myself coming forever. Master Cat keeps it challenging and above all helps each individual develop the tools to heal themselves, both body and mind.

I had been experiencing stiff, sore hips for many months, and had tried a variety of solutions - weight training, stretching, Crossfit, massage therapy - with no relief that lasted longer than a day. Then I tried Dahn Yoga with a Group-on. Within the first two weeks, I felt looser and more balanced, so I signed up for a three month membership, and within another couple of weeks, my hips felt normal again! At the end of the three month membership, I signed up for a year and five months later, I remain pain-free. Each day of the week has a different focus, and each class includes a significant time for meditation. It's both energizing and relaxing. Dahn Yoga is more than just exercise, though; Master Cat has created a very friendly and welcoming environment that focuses on general health and well-being. Classes are scheduled both during the day and after work, so it's...

Dahn Yoga has been a great experience for me. I love to dance, but I was new to yoga. I am almost 70 years old and was feeling like I was getting very stiff and losing my flexibility. I really love the Dahn Yoga classes because the stretches make me feel like I am getting more flexible; more in balance; and I when I leave the class, the world just seem a bit brighter and I feel somewhat “lighter." The favorite part of the class for me is the brain energy “dance” which has wonderful music and really helps me get out of my busy brain and into a wonderful, calming space. The different teachers at Kaimuki teach a little differently, but I have found that all of them are wonderful. The other students are very friendly and welcoming. It is a very nice community. I highly recommend...
