Body & Brain Voss

Do your research before getting too far involved with this group. They’re essentially a cult. You may get some benefit from going here, but don’t let them drain too much money from you. Also, what you’ll be doing here is not really yoga.

DahnYoga is my favorite place to go in my life NOW! They do deep deep~* stretching and breathing for release stress.
I practiced couple years, I already lost 18lb without controlling food. I sleep better, smile more, breath better.
I recommand everybody who want to get healthier and feel better.
I love instructor here as well. It has been changed my life in the positive way. I hope all of you experience what I had here.

These classes are not challenging and kind of weird to be honest. This would be a good class for someone in their 60s-​70s. I would not go back nor would I recommend to someone who is even remotely fit.

As with the other yoga studios I’ve been to, I came to this location as part of my MetaBody Fitness discount. I doubt I will ever come again.
The location is pretty convenient. It is located on Woodway in the plaza with the Central Market. I immediately noticed how clean and bright the center looked. There was a lot of literature on Dahn Yoga put out for us to look through before class began, which was helpful since I still did not have a good idea what Dahn Yoga was.
I had already experienced one Dahn Yoga center the day before and had a relatively good experience. However, because the class I had taken was more tai chi than yoga, I wanted to really experience dahn yoga, so I signed up for a class at this location. The owner/​manager Donna was friendly enough when I walked in, but she informed me that the dahn yoga I signed up for «isn’t really dahn yoga.» She informed that the class is actually a brain wave vibrations class, which made me a little annoyed; if your class is not going to be a dahn yoga class, then please do not list it as such. I had no interest in taking a brain wave vibrations class, so had I known, I would not have signed up. But because there was a 24-​hour cancellation policy, I decided to go ahead and try it out.
Next, Donna informed me that my MetaBody Fitness pass allowed me to take up to ten yoga classes at only ONE Dahn Yoga center. I was confused since I had read the fine print dozens of times already and saw no such thing. She was not even aware that I had gone to another Dahn Yoga center until I brought it up. I told her that I was not aware of such a policy, but she said that it is written clearly on the pass and that she could show it to me. Since I was already there, however, and had already registered, Donna said she’ll be lenient and let me try out the class so that I can decide which Dahn Yoga location to go to. Since I was concerned that there was a part of the pass that I did not read, I asked her to show me where it says I had to pick one location. She then told me that she’ll show me the next time I come as if I had already decided to come consistently to this location. She then gave me three different pamphlets about Dahn Yoga and told me to sit and read it before class. Being treated like a child irked me even more, and had I not been waiting there for a friend, I would have just left. Just as a note, I contacted MetaBody Fitness soon after this encounter, and they informed me that there was no such policy in place.
The brain wave vibrations class was a terrible experience. I unfortunately could barely understand the instructor, who had a heavy Asian accent. Being Asian myself, however, accents usually aren’t a problem for me. Also, as a medical student and a student of science nearly all my life, I found it impossible to «send energy to the liver and stomach,» as we were instructed to do for a good majority of the class. The class was pretty packed though with older people in the forties and onward, so perhaps this would be more relaxing and helpful for a different population. It is also possible that my negative experience with Donna before class affected my experience. However, the friend who came with me to this class also found it unsatisfying and a waste of time.
I would be happy to give this location another try, especially the dahn yoga class, if I could sign up and be SURE that I was actually signing up for dahn yoga. But with this experience, I find it unlikely.

A fantastic, complete mind-​body system. This center provides a genuine experience, in the true sense of the concept of yoga (not in terms of the more limited westernized idea of stretching). Classes cover deep stretching, breathing, brain wave vibration and meditation. The latest scientific evidence shows the tremendous benefits of brain wave vibration, particularly in relieving depression, enhancing mood and sleep latency (this was a comparative study of yoga-​type techniques and it is significant that brain wave vibration e.g. Dahn Yoga, performed extremely highly on key indicators, significantly better on many indicators than a more typical yoga (this research came out of a leading UK University and was published in a highly credible peer-​reviewed journal). I’ve been practicing for 7 months and the benefits are startling in terms of mind (happiness, clamness, focus, enthusiasm for life, sense of personal wellbeing and the ability to make positive changes in my life) and body (energy, flexibility, youthfulness — I look and feel considerably younger than 7 months ago — an observation confirmed by family and friends!) I’ve tried various other forms of yoga and meditation over the years and can testify that this is by far the most effective system that I have encountered (and the most holistic in its approach). Come to class regularly and you’ll feel like a different person within a very short time period! I should also note that the center provides an excellent schedule of classes to meet various timetables. The classes are great fun, suited to all levels of ability (totally non-​competitive unlike many yoga studios) and the wonderful staff are fully committed to the wellbeing of their members.

If you are looking for Yoga, Ti Chi and Meditation in one place, look no further. I have been going to Dahn Yoga for a month and I already see a change in my life. I learned to relax and focus after going thru a major illness for 4 months, joining the center is the best thing I could have done for myself. You can try a class and decide after that. You also need to know that even though it looks like a lot of stretching and slow movement, you will feel your body changing after a few classes. If you are looking for relaxation and flexibility, this is the place to go. Just have a budget and goal in mind before you sign up long term.

Do not go to this place thinking you are going to yoga. It is called yoga but it has nothing to do with other traditional yoga. It basically a stretch class. This company is also on the cult watch list. The yoga masters as they are called have been indoctrinated into this semi religion like thing and will try to teach you their believes as part of their yoga movement. They almost worship the founder of the yoga company and will want you to do the same by making you buy his book when you sign up for classes. They also try to get as much money out of you by overcharging for classes and then trying to sell you retreats and other activities. Be ware when you sign up here. I would definetly run the other way.
