it's no wonder people are turning to alternative therapies and self-help that go beyond conventional wisdom when more and more people are getting sicker and sicker! My first experience with Body & Brain was at Veg Fest Las Vegas where they offered Aura readings in their booth. After this experience I decided to try out the facility with their introductory session.
I was not disappointed. The instructors are very personable and knowledgeable about their craft which I learned takes years to acquire here. They have several class locations to choose from throughout the Las Vegas area.but I chose this location since it was closer to me. The instructors teaching there are Daniele, Ella and Melinda all of whom are very seasoned and well-versed in the Body & Brain system.
The classes are quite comprehensive in disciplining the mind and body utilizing the various aspects of Tai Chi, Yoga, Qi-Gong. And deep relaxation meditation sessions. Their signature class "Liver Detox" is an excellent way of distressing and naturally ridding your body of toxins through the various forms of movements synced with their special blend of music while the instructor motivates you throughout the session. Each session last roughly 70 mins and everyone learns to become versed in the Korean art of greetings before and after class. During my classes my form and posture was corrected to get the full benefits out of each session.
I have always been open to alternative medicine and ways to improve your health and since coming to Body & Brain for a little over a month now, I'm noticing incremental improvements in my sleep, focus and overall mental clarity. Overall, my impressions are that the instructors really are passionate about the entire Body & Brain philosophy and really do provide a great alternative approach to both your body and mind. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a way to improve the health of their...
Read moreI've been desk bound for over 50 years until I awakened to the fact that my belly was fat, my gait was bent, and my arms and fingers got stiff and tingling. I tried the treadmill but could not discipline myself to a regimen. Medicine and physical therapy helped a bit, but could not do much to my well being. I considered tai chi, and happened to find Dahn Yoga-Tai Chi on the web. I tried out at the Montecito center instantly liked it.
I am now a student of this exercise method for over a year. It goes well with my idea that the mind and every part of the body must work together. The abdomen tapping, deep breathing, various types of meridian stretching, and even free dancing... all seem to work together to make my joints lubricated, my muscles utilized, and my stamina and agility enhanced. I love to be tutored daily by the center's dedicated masters, in a class of about a dozen like minded students. I admit that I could not do the exercises honestly at home, because I have the children's syndrome of "are we finished yet!"
I am happy to report that my arthritis is gone. I can use all my arms and legs and fingers and toes just as when I was in my fifties. My allergies are also vastly reduced if not completely gone. I lost two inches of fat in my belly. While I always had a high degree of concentration, my focus seems to be also enhanced.
I have recommended Dahn Yoga to all friends and family members who commented on my being fit at the age of 75. I want to thank the masters at the Montecito centers who have given much time and dedication to the my well being and that of my fellow students. By the way, my fellow students' age ranges from the twenties to the eighties. Dahn Yoga is good for everyone.

Read moreI came to Body & Brain Yoga and Tai Chi at a time when I was struggling with deep emotional distress and chronic pain. I had tried so many things without finding relief, and honestly, I joked about trying Tai Chi as a “last resort.” I didn’t know what to expect when I walked through the doors, but I was met with an incredibly welcoming and kind-hearted community. After only a few sessions, I began to feel hope again and believe that healing was possible. The gentle movements and mindfulness of Tai Chi have helped me in ways I didn’t think possible.
I recently had shoulder surgery, and my recovery has been smoother because of the flexibility, strength, and balance I’ve been building here. The atmosphere is uplifting, and I’ve met so many beautiful people who understand what it’s like to be on a healing journey. Master Chunil and Master Dahari are patient, compassionate, and inspiring teachers whose dedication and kindness are truly a blessing. At Body & Brain Yoga and Tai Chi, it doesn’t matter your age or current physical ability—you can heal your mind, body, and soul. This is more than just a place to exercise—it’s a space to heal, grow, and nurture...
