After taking Master Kim’s class online for a few weeks, I have gained more core strength but most importantly, I have felt calmer and more positive. His classes are a good combination of strength training, meditation, and happiness practice. He is encouraging, respectful, and humorous. I encourage anyone who is struggling with anxiety, loneliness, depression, or inactivity to give his class a try. You won’t be disappointed.

I encourage anyone that is seeking to improve the quality their life and deepen their connection between mind, body and spirit to checkout Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi - Irvine. Master Kim and his teaching staff are absolutely amazing at what they do! The are genuinely welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable and passionate about improving the health and well-being of their students. Their flexible weekly class schedule provides opportunities for both morning and evening classes and the exercise routines are varied day-to-day to help challenge you on different areas of development.I’ve been attending since September 2019. I am simply amazed at my progress and the significant improvements to my health and well-being. Finding this studio and attending classes regularly is one of the best decisions and investments that I have made for myself. I just couldn’t be happier with my instructors, fellow students and the measurable results that I have achieved. I highly recommend this location.

I have never engaged in any activity that consciously creates or controls body energy, neither was I aware of such a thing. Some of the techniques, like tapping your body/intestine region were so alien to me that it felt wired at first. It’s been only 1month and I am totally sold on it. I like the stretches, yoga and similar exercises but I love the energy exercises the most- they help stop my thoughts & feels meditative. I recommend anyone to try it out for a month.Master Kim is a really good teacher. He has a deep understanding of how the body works, can explain it in simple terms, is very encouraging & cares about his students.

Whenever I think I feel as I need a break, body&brain studio is the first place I think of. Its not only physical strength but more important is mental strength and spiritual how they are all connected. Master Kim is a outstanding teacher in every way. His deep knowledge, passion for the practice, humor and humility he brings to his teaching is such inspiration to me. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn with him. Thank you Master Kim for healing me and helped me rebuild my confidence!!

I joined Master Kim’s Tai Chi center in Irvine in January 2019 with severe lower back pain and disc issues. I was advised disc removal surgery within 3 months if effective pain management and core strengthening wasn’t achieved. Transitional techniques of physical therapy, chiropractic etc has not worked in my case. Pain had worsened and latest MRI had showed further degenerationTai Chi has worked wonders for me in last 12 months: my pain is negligible, core has significant strengthened and resultant positive energy has improved outlook, relationships and work success! I have not had a single pain medication in the last yearIn addition the optional but highly recommended ‘Finding True Self’ worship by Master Kim was truly life changing! In my opinion it is a must have for anyone even if you are not enrolled at the center for regular sessions!A sincerely thank you to Master Kim, and all other Masters at the center: Delta, Fran, Reza, Lisa and Lenny for working with me to achieve positive results.Highly recommend Tai Chi and especially Master Kim’s center to anyone looking for positive energy, core strengthening, improve relationships, develop a positive outlook and discover true inner peace

This is a beautiful place to learn how to use your body, mind and breathing to naturally take control of how you feel. It’s amazing how the techniques Master Kim teaches make your body and mind work after every class. Every class is different and it became my place to go to every morning!

Irvine body and brain has a welcoming atmosphere. It makes you want to belong. Everyday the exercises are varied. The different ways you move as well as coordinating mind , body and spirit makes this a holistic approach to self care. And when I am having a challenge doing a posture my first reaction is to smile. Which by the way is also good for me.

I love the Body and Brain Center in Irvine!!!Coming here does not only mean going to a Yoga class, but going on an adventure inside. Every class is different, exciting and teaches me something new about my body, mind or spirit.I am always looking forward to class!!!Although exercises are all do-able and for everybody, they can be challenging or bring me to sweat. The nice thing about it is, I enjoy it so much it doesnt feel like exercise :)The Center is bright and beautiful, the atmosphere very inviting, it is easy to feel at home immediately.Members, Staff and Instructors are extraordinarily caring, open and friendly, and full of wisdom.If you are interested in Yoga, Tai-Chi or a holistic life-practice, dont hesitate, just come and give it a try. I promise your life will change. I am very thankful, I found this wonderful training in my life!!

I started taking this class over a month ago to deal with stress relief through meditation and different forms of exercise. After one month I already see a large improvement in myself and stress management abilities. I hope future students will be able to obtain this same level of stress relief as I have.

I am very picky when it comes to sign up for classes and make commitments.. doing a lot of research before choosing one. I am absolutely happy to have been told about this center. They truly deliver what they claim, physical and spiritual healing.I loved the class from the first session; before writing a review I practiced for several weeks to make sure I continue loving it. If you are keen to practice Yoga and Meditation, I highly recommend this center.

Ive learned to have a healthy mind and body, by the Irvine Body and Brain center. This has helped me by doing meditation, and yoga. (Since I have a chronic illness) By doing these activities, my illness has been improving, therefore the tension in my body has been relaxed and released.

Review №25

I have been given a whole new outlook on life since I have started going to Body & Brain. My back pain was so severe that nothing was helping anymore and with nine injections under my belt and a multitude of therapies, I was fairly skeptical. I was in so much pain that I couldnt even push a vacuum anymore. A friend told me how Body & Brain helped her, so I figured I would give it a try. Incredibly, within a few months I was able to do more physically than I had been able to do in almost ten years! I could finally experience relief of pain, and my family and doctors have all been just as amazed as I in my new found physical and mental abilities.

Dahn yoga has helped me to heal my body and my mind. I come to the yoga center regularly because it not only makes my body flexible and relaxed, but it gives peace to my mind. Also,the classes helped me to relieve tension from my neck and shoulders. After each class, I feel I receive new energy into my body; my body feels more flexible and stress free. In addition, I have relieved anxiety which was interfering with my daily life. I am so thankful to Dahn Yoga and great experience that I get at the classes. I gained self-confidence and I feel happy. I recommend this yoga to everyone. Great stretching exercises and meditation.

It is amazing what brain and body yoga does to the healing of your body. I am glad I found this place. Master Kim is truly a true healer in his field. As a physician, I am totally amazed how I felt after one session, there is no word to express the power of this healing method. This only proves even more that the body heals itself if we allow it to. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to feel better, sharper, more energy, more at peace, especially people with chronic illness such as chronic fatigue, depression, migraine, IBS, fibromyalgia etc...As a Christian I was worry about certain religious association because of the word yoga. Actually this is open to any faith as it is not religious at all since it focus on energy but mostly body and mind healing using stretching and exercise that focus on acupressure point and meridian like acupuncture except you do it your self. I love it and would definitely recommend to all my patients.Try it one time and find out yourself. The power of self healing should not be underestimated. Best thing, unlike medication there is no side effect.

I have been attending classes here regularly for 5 months now and I love it. Friendly staff and awesome instructors especially Master Kim is amazing! The classes here are both fun and challenging at the same time for my body and mind. My body has gained more strength and flexibility than ever before since I joined here and I have even lost some weight without any diet! I also love the meditations they do here which make my mind feel more calm and relaxing. I always look forward to come to each class as I know I will feel more recharged with positive energy afterwards. I am so glad I found this yoga studio in irvine. Thank you Master Kim and everyone!

I started Dahn Yoga 2 weeks ago and noticed the difference in my whole body and brain balance.Due to my past tailbone injury, I tend to be nervous while driving and have a sense of imbalance. However the past 3 days it has changed. I am now able to drive on middle lane without swirling to the right or left. Its amazing that simple exercise and often times small movement with intention can create a powerful shift in my body and mind.Today I came with stomach cramping and bloating due to monthly period. However, after the intestine exercise session the pain has lessen significantly.Really recommend the whole brain and body exercise for anyone who is open to improve the whole outlook and powerful connection between body and mind.

Before joining this wonderful yoga class, I had a very hard time concentrating, making friends, and most of all being happy and loving myself. However, with the help of amazing Master Kim and all the caring,loving positive people and environment at Dahn Yoga, I couldnt wipe the smile off my face that came to me after every class. To me, this is more than just a yoga class, this is one big happy family, a peaceful little world, and an environment that brings out the best in me. This place is definitely life changing and something everyone should commute an hour of their day to. If you care about our planet, and want to feel one with the universe and the beauty of nature, Dahn Yoga is definitely something you should check out. :) Peace and Sincerity, Aarthi

My journey with Body and Brain yoga has truly been incredible! I had been diagnosedby doctors with many different problems as well Rumitoid arthritis. I was on 4 different prescription drugs, and still depressed and my body in pain.Today with the help of Master Kim and so many other great teachers at the Irvine Center, as well as in Sedona, they have been teaching me how to heal my body. I am off all 4 meds and feeling wonderful. What has changed the most are my thoughts.I am now filled with gratitude, joyfulness, peace, and love.

Review №52

I started Dahn Yoga to relieve my chronic neck pain, but the benefit goes beyond physical benefit. Since I started Dahn Yoga 9 months ago, I have not had need to seek physical therapy or chiropractic treatment. In addition, I experienced “Qi” or energy. Now, I am looking forward to Yoga class every day and after each class, I feel peaceful, refreshing, and rejuvenating. Even though I am still at the beginning level, such holistic healing approach has already helped my body and soul. Thank you, Master Kim and all instructors.

Ive been doing Dahn Yoga now for three months. Before I started at the studio I had a lot of stomach issues, stress, anxiety and a lack of energy. I never enjoyed going to the gym and lacked the motivation to get out and improve my health. I am happy to say that since Ive been doing Dahn Yoga, Ive lost weight, toned my whole body, my mood is better, my relationships are better and I am more peaceful. I enjoy the classes and look forward to going. Everyday there is a different class so I never get bored and I always feels great afterwards. We do yoga, tai-chi, meditation, deep breathing, stretching and we even get to dance and give each other massages. I love the interaction we have with our classmates, that we are asked to always smile and at the end we get to share how class went over a cup of tea. If you are looking to improve your life I highly recommend joining our studio.

This is a very unique yoga center that combines Yoga and Taichi. You can learn meditation, healing, breathing and also build up your physical strength all in one. I really like one of the classes, Wooden Pillow Class, that helps massage the pressure points from toe to head. Plus, teacher, staff and students are really nice too.A very special yoga center that combines yoga and Tai Chi to practice meditation, healing, breathing, and body softness to strengthen the body and soul. I really like the wooden pillow lesson. It is really comfortable to use the wooden pillow to massage the acupuncture points of the whole body. And Master Kim and the students are very kind and friendly.
