Kaimuki - Body And Brain Yoga Tai Chi

The instructors here are amazing, really feels like they care about you. They showed me some really unique exercises which were really effective in calming me down bringing me into a meditative state. The stretching is amazing, makes you feel lighter and stronger, and is surprisingly good of a workout (makes you sweat!) And for the people who are into the more spiritual side of things, this stuff can really make you feel connected to your inner self, and it feels like you’re shedding off a layer of ego you never knew was there. Was skeptical at first but if you can open your mind no doubt it can change your life.

The healing power we each have in generating a better flow of energy is amazing. Yet, often we neither recognize nor use this innate ability for our own well-being. The wholistic approach offered by Cat and trainers is teaching me how to have a healthier body, happier heart and more powerful brain. Best thing I could do for myself and loved ones. Thank you!

I have been a member at Kaimuki body and brain for 6 years and it has been the most amazing part of my life since. I joined when I was recovering from a stressful event, that had a negative effect on my body. I make it my number one priority to come to class 2-4 times a week, every day that I am not working. If I am not working I would come every day. The benefits are amazing!!! My body is healthy and feels well. I would highly recommend Body and Brain to everyone! Aloha

From the moment I walked in, my body felt good. By the time I left, I felt great. If you want to try something different, try a class, you'll feel the difference. Parking is across the street in the municipal lot surrounded by good restaurants so you can grab a bite after class.

Where shall I begin... I have been coming to the center for over 4 years. I was introduced to the center and Master Cat by my friend Susan. It's hard to describe, but when I come I just feel good and relaxed. The energy of the class is something that I have not felt any where else. They've introduced me to a meditative state that I never got to when trying to meditate by myself. Also, Master Cat has designed the movements and meditation to suit anyone. It's good for beginners and for those already aware of their body. Lastly, I want to add that it's more than just body awareness, I've gained an awareness about my thoughts and how it affects my day. I just keep telling people, if you come with an open mind, the benefits are beyond what words can explain.

This is my third year of coming here. I come two to three times a week and it has been so helpful for the healing of my IBS gut issues. It has also taught me how to relax and fall asleep easily. There are several teachers but each one is consistent with the type of tai chi and yoga that is taught here from the master Il Chi Lee. The exercises and poses vary so there is no boredom with routines. The thing about this is that it is more than just about exercise. It is about the mind and body working together for your health and learning to love all of yourself, mind and body!

Brain & Body is a fascinating and exciting journey. It's physical conditioning with guided self energy exploration and so much more. It's a suitable practice for many ages from 20 -120 years old, there's even a special children's weekend program....come a join us for a class....... FEELING IS BELIEVING!

The brain and body center helped to open my mind. After attending a session, anything that was bothering me disappears and I'm left with just joy. It has healed me inside and out, giving me the ability to not help others. Sometimes you just need to try something different, observe and see if it's for you. I did it and I know it's for me.

I wanted to add a workout activity into my life, one that I would stick with on a daily basis. I was also interested in mind-body concepts and living a healthier lifestyle. Body & Brain successfully manages to weave these two goals into a 1 hour training routine. I also found that I am better able to reduce my stress level and focus better at work. The instructors are very caring and lead the class with various stretches, yoga, tai chi, and energy meditation which vary daily. At the end of a class I feel relaxed ?? Master Cat and the other instructors are very knowledgeable and skillful in getting you to do the movements so your body will respond appropriately. Their warmth and caring is wonderful!

This is a program good for every one regardless of your age. It has taught me how to relax, flexible and keeps my mind active doing fun exercises. Its explains what and why each move is done. If you cannot do an exercise they give you a simple way to engage at it till your able to do it.

I love ?? Brain and Body Yoga Tai Chi. I was recommended to take classes here by two of my doctors. I signed up for the three-month unlimited pass. It was a great way to experience the classes and learn from different instructors over a period of time. I felt the benefits of the exercises in my body and nervous system. The classroom setting is comfortable and inviting and I love having tea ?? at the end of the sessions. If you are looking for to get more in touch with your body and spirit then brain and body yoga is wonderful place for that.

I found that this center's manager was extremely cheerful and helpful. She made me feel welcome and helped me learn about my condition, and helped me manage my own condition. I felt much better after class and definitely recommend this place!

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 Dahn Yoga. Susan

I started with one hour classes and switched to ½ hour private sessions until my low blood pressure problem is resolved. I tried other places but this one actually works, mainly due to the skill of the instructor (Cat) and the personal attention of private sessions. I get to understand how each exercise helps me, including how and why it should feel. This gives me the confidence and understanding to know that I’m doing it correctly. I’m looking forward to eventually switching to group sessions.

Having a place where you know you can always go to and walk out feeling great is a true blessing. The Kaimuki Dahn Yoga Center is such a place. The studio is beautiful and what a fresh feeling when you enter the room. I am provided with the best guidance on movements of my body to create an optimal energy condition. I am much more productive and focused in what I do everyday because of it.

I am semi-retired and I am involved in a variety of activities. I have been attending the Dahn Yoga class in Kaimuki for about 8 months. This type of Yoga has enhanced my body with the right amount of exercise, meditation, etc. It greatly helps with my body conditioning. I was able to lose suborn pounds and make positive changes to my body. I am healthier than I was before I started. I was taking Anti-Depression medication for almost 3 years and a few months ago, with my Doctor's approval, stopped the medication. Dahn Yoga helps my stress levels and increases my confidence. It keeps my mind, body and spirit healthy. I am pleased that I discovered an exercise that works so well, I thoroughly enjoy and a center that takes a special interest in each student.

So glad I found Dahn Yoga! I have been a member for 2 years now and find it has helped me in so many ways. There is a nice balance of stretching, movement and meditation. From the warm up before the class to the tea time at the end of the class, the whole experience puts my mind and body in a peaceful place. The instructors are fantastic in guiding us to create positive energy to benefit ourselves and others. Life can be so hectic, but Dahn yoga puts things into perspective. Do something great for yourself and join us!
