Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi

My journey began about 8 months ago, a couple of months after I settled here in the US. I knew I needed to do something about my weight and wanted to be healthier and feel better. I had always been curious about yoga, but didn't really know anything about it or how or where to get started. I was apprehensive about trying yoga and thought I might feel foolish and uncoordinated. With the instructors` help and guidance, I felt neither. I was hooked from my first yoga practice! I'm still loving it. All the instructors are so compassionate, patient and supportive.I love how I'm learning things about myself mentally, physically, spiritually; how they are all connected. Going through my daily life, I find myself thinking about the things I learned during my yoga practice. Things like my breathing, posture, letting go of things I can't control and making right choices. Physically yoga has helped tremendously with my strength. I'm starting to feel muscles in places I didn't even know I had muscles! I am beginning to feel like a new person.Take it from me, it’s never too late to start yoga. Like I wrote earlier, I am now hooked and will practice Dahn Yoga for the rest of my life.

Thank you, Tempe Dahn Yoga for helping me get my life back! When I started attending classes earlier this year, I had depression, anxiety and was depleted emotionally, mentally, and physically. Once I made the commitment to myself to attend classes on a regular basis, AMAZING things started to happen! I slowed down! I breathed more! I was able to quiet my mind and my sleeping habits improved! I was able to be happier, more grateful, sincere and motivated! I was healing from the inside out. Every day I could be positive with the changes I was experiencing. Dahn Yoga has not become just a class I attend, but instead it has become more of a way of life. The tools you learn help you cope with the chaos and stress of life while enabling you to learn who you are, what you want and what is truly important in life. This is a safe, nurturing environment where nobody is judged and everyone is encouraged to do their best, whatever level that is. I have learned a lot about myself, I am more flexible, stronger, calm and have been empowered to make the changes necessary to improving the quality of my life. The instructors are FANTASTIC! They are sincere, caring and encouraging. I have a new passion and zest for life and will be forever grateful! XO

I better first experience couldn't have been possible for me. John is always exceptionally welcoming and I am comfortable throughout the classes. In each that I have attended, the other participants have been equally warm and helpful. The best part for me is that I leave each class with a sense of peace and calmness. I've practiced many other types of yoga, but I hadn't experienced this feeling of inner balance. It is a rarity for an A+ personality type and the reason I happily drive the 25 miles.With gratitude,Destany

i really look forward to coming to my Tai Chi class at Dahn Yoga after work. it's one of the best parts of my day. the stretching is something I really need and the balance work has really helped. The instructors and the fellow students always seem so upbeat and positive. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to feel better both physically and mentally. It makes life better.....

I joined Dahn Yoga & Tai Chi, Tempe AZ location one year ago, April 2012. I really enjoy that every class is different. There is no 'routine' to get tired of, they're always changing it up because one of their principles is to make your brain think. My balance is much better, and I've learned to meditate. The classes also offer deep stretching, good for working out over-used muscles and keeping your joints limber. The instructors are sincerely friendly, and coach you in a way that makes it fun, yet challenging for various physical abilities. I enjoy doing this for myself.

Since joining Tempe Dahn Yoga seven months ago, my flexibility, balance and strength have improved significantly. I am more alert and present in my day-to-day life. I have more energy and focus. I feel less stressed. I even lost ten pounds without really thinking too much about it.John and Insoon are committed and patient instructors who integrate mind-body-spirit methods into every session. Classes vary in focus and each builds to the overall gestalt.Their encouragement and gentle corrections are expressed with empathic non-judgment. With warmth, compassion and humor, they challenge and work with people at all levels of ability and readiness and have built a wonderful member community. Thank you, Tempe Dahn Yoga!

Tempe Dahn Yoga is nothing less than Awesome! I had practiced yoga for many years at a gym, but knew something was missing. Tempe Dahn Yoga has put all of the pieces together, body, mind, spirit and community.John and Insoon are so engaged with each member to ensure a positive experience. My change in spirit was so dramatic, my husband of 35 years is now attending. Our relationship is stronger along with our bodies and minds.I have also used some of the exercises with my grandchildren, and the results are amazing. They will calm down and get refocused with in minutes, while they think they are playing a game.We love Tempe Dahn Yoga and will be coming for many years.

Great classes. Great instructors. I have lots of energy and I am very flexible because I learned Dahn Yoga methods and practice them every day. I also teach classes at my senior community. I am in my 70s and am more energized and flexible than people in their 30s. When you take the classes and begin to practice your body and spirit will get aligned. You will feel so ALIVE again.

I've been a member of Dahn Yoga Tempe for more than 5 years. I try to attend class every day. I have greatly benefited from every component of class, which includes warm-up exercises, breathing and postures, stretching, and meditation. These enjoyable variety of activities keep me motivated and focused! I also appreciate that our classes are geared for every ability level. I have continued to improve my flexibility, strength, and energy levels through the years. Our instructors, John and Insoon, are experienced, knowledgeable, nurturing, and patient with each member, as well. I recommend Dahn Yoga Tempe to one and all!

My experience with Dahn Yoga has been nothing but fantastic. I have achieved so much in such a short amount of time. For a person who has zero balance I'm doing things that amaze me. All the instructors are warm, caring and loving. Master John is an exceptional instructor. I leave the center after each class feeling peaceful yet joyful. I'm very happy I joined!!
