Body & Brain Torrance

I’ve only been with them for 3 months and I’ve never been this content with myself and the world around me. The instructors, their programs and classes give such wonderful insight and positive energy. It has helped me shaped myself to become a better person. Learning from them never stops and I definitely hope it doesn’t!
This is the best place to relieve stress, have fun, and learn more about yourself and life all at the same time. :) I’m very grateful to be part of this journey. I hope everyone can experience the same!

I’ve been attending for 4 months to date and I really enjoy being a member at this center! I have always loved the practice of yoga, tried different styles and places, but never had that connection to want to join a center until I found Dahn Yoga (newly named Body & Brain | Yoga — Tai Chi) in Torrance. From stretching and toning the physical body to breathing and meditation techniques for the mind, this place encompasses all the different aspects that I love about yoga and so much more!
The facility is welcoming and clean. The members and staff are friendly and committed to support you in achieving your health goals. The exercises are simple and challenging at the same time. The classes are never boring and will give you energy during and after class. The workshops are unique and will provide you the best tools to grow during your wellness journey.
Awesome bonus: Sometimes they offer FREE classes on Saturdays. =)
So if you are open and ready to learn new exercises and concepts that will workout your entire well being, this place is here for you. I truly believe your body, mind and soul will thank you for giving this place a try!

I was looking for a hot yoga center in Torrance and while Unilocaling I came across Dahn yoga and saw a lot of satisfied people. So I decided to go in and check it out. Me and my fiancé went there and while we were there we found the deal on living social so we decided to do the one month special. We were not sure what to expect initially. Choi gave us an orientation which gave us some idea. We completed our one month and we liked it so much that we decided to give another 6 months. The classes are very interesting, a lot of stretching, meditation, music and a lot more. There is something new each time so it is never boring. I actually look forward for the classes. The instructors at the center are very nice and they give you a positive aura. You can see people of all ages. Some people have been there for 15 years and they are still loving it and they seem very fit for their age. Overall I am enjoying this and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to connect more with their soul and be stress free. You won’t regret it !!!

Eight years ago, I walked into the Dahn yoga center, expecting to find a regular yoga class. I signed up for one month’s worth of classes to try. To my surprise, it was everything but a regular yoga class. Even with my first class, I could tell that I had embarked on a very special journey of self-​discovery and awakening that was facilitated by the unique, welcoming environment of the Center and its incredible staff and supportive members.
No matter what your personal, professional, or spiritual background, you are immediately welcomed and treated like family without judgment or expectation. In addition to discovering a window to your spirituality and soul, Dahn yoga also provides an excellent physical benefit where with continued practice, I have gained physical strength and increased flexibility in addition to building upon my ability to enjoy long periods of stillness and mindful meditation.
Over the course of my eight years at the center, not only have I witnessed my own personal transformation, but I have also seen countless members experience positive changes in their lives due to the practice. I have shared my experience with numerous friends and family members and many have joined me to try a class and have become members themselves. I cannot recommend this practice enough. It is by far the most life-​changing gift I have ever given myself, and for this, I am forever grateful.

I’ve tried a variety of different yoga places and by far this is my favorite. Lots of places give your ego an over the top workout but here it’s definitely health focused. The meditation we do during class makes me feel relaxed and centered. I’m really excited to see the results I will attain over time.

Dahn Yoga in Torrance has changed my life forever in ways I did not expect. I was first introduced to Dahn yoga 15 years ago when a Dahn Teacher taught an introductory workshop in Florida. The exercise/​practice was interesting, relaxing… an enjoyable experience. So when I recently moved to California and noticed a Dahn studio I thought I would check it out. I have practiced Yoga for years and needed a studio close to home. I met the Dahn Master… Choi. She is amazingly positive, gentle, funny and has energy that radiates joy. Her laugh is infectious. I began to learn the differences between traditional yoga and Dahn. Dahn originated in Korea and is a practice that combines Yoga, Tai Chi, balance, core strengthening, vibration/​rhythms, brain balancing, energy meditation and deep breathing and more. After only a few classes I began to feel a difference I could not initially describe. I was changing into someone who had less and less anxiety and sadness. I noticed that I was less easily annoyed by life’s challenges. I was physically stronger, stood taller and smiled so often people noticed. My meditation practice became more fluid and I was in the present moment more often. The best change… I am forgiving myself and others and not holding on to the past. My blood pressure became normal consistently! I’ve lost 4 pounds with no effort. I cannot say enough about the changes… I am more focused, I experience joy, peace and my heart is opening. My brain is balancing and clearing out the debris. Dahn is for every one… all ages and levels. I will never stop practicing Dahn. I have to go back to Florida soon and will continue to grow with Dahn. It keeps me young and happy and balanced body, mind and spirit. Thank you Master Choi and all the masters… you are all a blessing! I am so grateful!

If you think something is missing in your heart or within you, this is the perfect place!!! I have been filled with energy and love! And I could find myself! Amazing!

The best choice I could take from options out there! Dahn Yoga Torrance has been a blessing to me!
After doing/​practicing different activities, in order to keep the balance mind-​body-​spirit, life brought me here, A PLACE THAT HAS IT ALL!
To combine the different roles I perform in my everyday: an individual, a single mom, a worker, a daughter, a person committed to others, a human being related to the universe, represents a challenge. Dahn Yoga Torrance has allowed me to experience the pause, the calm, the healing, the enjoyment, the connection with my own, the balance, while staying in shape, my well-​being, ALL IN ONE! Providing me a long-​lasting energy to face the demanding requirements I am called to, with stability.
Sign up for the initial session! Life is offering YOU the same opportunity I have had! USE IT!

I was introduced to Dahn yoga by a friend. After many years of treatments for a leg, hip and foot injuries from falling down the stairs, this Dahn yoga has helped me more than any doctors or even specialist .! I love the wooden pillow, wonderful
and it works ! Everything they teach us works ! ! It’s pretty amazing. You will learn things that you never knew … and happy for it. The Torrance center is great and
the teachers and Masters are so kind and wonderful and you can tell they really want to help you. Thank you so much !
Please go to their wedsite to see what it is all about. It is MORE than what you regularly know about yoga. So I think it best for you to read and watch videos for yourself .
” It’s about changing your energy.
Energy is a defining element in Dahn Yoga. You can change your life by changing your energy, because energy is the source of everything. Practitioners develop a deeper understanding of their body and mind through various energy awareness and energy building exercises. They regain true mastership over their body and mind by learning how to manage their energy effectively.
It originated in Korea.
Korea has a rich history of holistic healing and mind-​body practices. Dahn Yoga integrates Korean Taoist philosophy and the holistic principles of the Korean Oriental Medicine tradition. A healthy person has a healthy mind, body, and spirit. The understanding of life energy, or qi, is fundamental to this concept of health.
It’s about awakening your brain.
From the very beginning of the tradition of this practice, the importance of the brain was emphasized. The practices for the brain in Dahn Yoga ranges from sharpening focus to developing the creative potential of the brain. Dahn Yoga helps you to achieve this mostly through practicing its key element: energy. By developing your capacity to feel energy, you can quiet your mind, sharpen your focus and awaken the dormant part of your brain, and by becoming one with the natural flow of energy, you can unleash the natural wisdom and insight about how things work in a deeper level of reality. ”

I recommend Dahn Yoga to each one who wants to look beyond of oneself. With super friendly staff and members, you’ll feel you’re a part of them the first time you attend. My experience with Dahn Yoga was beyond what i expected. At first I just wanted «yoga»… just yoga. But Dahn Yoga gave me more than i expected. It is not just about exercise, streching and breathing, it helped me to find myself, gain more energy, joy, calmness and self healing. Everytime i attended the practice… It feels like it extends my life each day. This is one of the greatest gift I gave myself. «To see and experience is to believe.» So friends give your self a chance
Thank you so much!!!
Thumbs up 5 star to Dahn Yoga.

Dahn yoga is not your average yoga center, you must come here with an open mind. I’ve always believed that most of us go through times where we can’t find happiness within, no matter what we do physically. It takes more courage to delve deep within and really see the truth about who we are. When I started dahn I knew something was «off» with my emotions and spiritual connection. Dahn yoga has changed my life and I am so much happier since I started going 7 months ago. My practice has help heal my physical ailments and created peace in my life. You will meet and get to know other students and learn about their path and feel their joy and serenity the minute you walk into the studio. Amazing meditation!

If you are looking to learn to heal yourself whether it be emotionally, physically, or spiritually, Dahn Yoga has the answer for you. I walked into a center about a year ago from an invitation from a dear friend looking for a yoga class to compliment the strengthening exercises I do. I had physical issues (back and shoulder pain) and emotional issues developed through the years. I have learned how to bring into balance: the body, mind, and soul through holistic healing. The yoga, meditation, and brain management techniques have done wonders for me becoming a happier, healthier, and helpful person.
The Dahn Center is warm and inviting place where the attentive and knowledgeable instructors can help you as they did me.

Have you ever experienced deep healing beyond your imagination? I came to Dahn Yoga unbalanced physically, emotionally, and energetically. After coming to center and committing to taking care of myself, I was able to refocus, go deep into healing my body from bad habits that damaged my organs, uprooted wounds from the past that I neglected to confront and really got my life back. I never realized how my body showed exactly what was on my mind: P. Experiencing the connection of body to brain gave me hope and motivation to share this with others, so they can experience health, growth, and the value of life. My favorite thing about Dahn Yoga is the simple and easy to follow principles that relate everything back to taking care of myself through my body and brain. Back to the real me. Feels really good.

This is a wonderful yoga studio! I’ve been going to Dahn yoga for a few weeks & feel less stressed, more energized & happy. The instructors are great with beginners & it is a very comfortable environment to practice yoga. The classes focus on stretching, breathing & meditation. It is great for all ages/​levels!

Dahn Yoga has been the one of the best investments I’ve put into myself. Originally I was just looking for a yoga studio close to home, but I found so much more here! There are plenty of stretches and exercises for flexibility as well as different techniques to strengthen your core. The guided meditation they have has opened my eyes as well as my heart to so much more. The instructors as well all of the members are so nice there which help to create an even richer experience all in itself.
Simply put, if you try it you will love it. So try it!

I have been with Dahn Yoga for last 15 days. It has not only healed my back pain. It has helped me breathe well, sleep well and sky rocketed my sense of well being. Kudos !!
The staff at this center really go out of their way to help you and see you are comfortable. Money well spent for the service and health benefits.

I received a coupon for Dahn Yoga around 2 years ago and thought I’d check it out. This was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. the minute you walk into the center, you feel the positive energy from everyone in the room. the exercises are excellent. Every day is a different focus on your body and you leave the class with so much energy and positive thoughts. If you’ve ever wanted to try Yoga, this is definately the place to try. Dahn Yoga focuses on your physical, mental and spiritual well being and allows you to explore yourself to discover who you are and what your purpose in life is all about. The masters are excellent and really care about their members. I can’t imagine my life without Dahn Yoga.

Dahn Yoga has helped me in many ways. It is a holistic program that focuses on the whole being rather than on physical exercises only (although the workout can be a great challenge, too!!).
My initial hope was to get in shape, relax and learn meditation, but I found so much more since I became a member 5 years ago.
The atmosphere in the Torrance Center is inviting and warm, not just the modern type of gym. People care for each other and not just walk in and out. But that just on the side…
I really enjoy the combination of stretching, breathing, meditating and learning about myself and the body. I learn a lot about my brain, my organs, my emotions and how it is all connected to my overall well-​being. It is sometimes very challenging to question my way of daily living, but sincerely necessary, because we are surrounded by so much information and negativity that at least to me this can be stressfully overwhelming. In Dahn Yoga I have found a place where I find some space for myself, recharge and find new hope when life gets to me. DY also gave me tools that where already within me, that I had to newly recover like smiling, breathing, looking for answers inside– not outside– of me.
So, you see, it is more than just exercise for me. But that stays your choice.
You can just come to sweat, too. Or just relax with the fabulous choice of background music.

Yoga classes here are not like at a gym. They are focused on health and stress relief. Its refreshing and recharging. I’m really happy I found Dahn Yoga. No complex poses, no one pushing you into something you can’t do. Just what yoga was ment for, health, relaxation, stress relief and mental peace. Perfect!

I’ll recommend this place because:
I found that Dahn Yoga focuses on balancing the functions of the internal organs, besides good stretching and deep relaxation and I’d rather come to class than go to doctor (sorry doctors, but it’s true);
I’m able to really meditate here and not just sit with my head full of thoughts, I do that often anyway;
individual care makes a big difference for me, when my life-​questions addressed with simple, yet profound principles that I can always relate to, and share with my family and friends;
workshops really helped me to reflect on my inner self, accept and understand my nature from much more loving perspective;
IMHO great place to address mind, body and soul.
Highly recommend!
