I highly recommend Body & Brain Tai Chi! It is a surreal experience to be able to harness my inner energy during class and leave the studio completely relaxed. The instructors are friendly and kind and will subtly correct your poses if needed.The studio often posts different events on Eventbrite, including the opportunity to try a free class.

Body & Brain has surpassed my goals and expectations of becoming a healthier and more mindful being. It goes beyond Yoga and Tai Chi. I am more aware of energy channels, my chakras and my spiritual being. I am also more confident in managing my emotions and maintaining balance in my life. I respect each instructor and find them encouraging and supportive towards my growth. I have found all the classes beneficial and especially value the spiritual components of this practice. I am very grateful for the classes and guidance that Body & Brain provides.

I have been a member for many years and will be forever. Coming to classes has really improved both my physical and mental health. I have learned a lot about energy and my body. The teachers really care about helping you be well, and make an effort to get to know you. Everyone in class is very supportive of each other - it is a no judgement zone. I recommend trying a class if you want to feel better.

I've learned so much and have had many great experiences with Body and Brain. Dynamic meditation and body tapping alone can benefit you so much. Movement is key and feeling allows for healing. The teachers I've connected with, learned from and shared with are truly amazing - along with many people ive met through classes and events. Wishing you health and strength.

I am grateful to BodyNBrainBrookline and Master Erin for their regular classes that have introduced me to joint health, by showing how to move individual joints to keep them open and flexible; gut health, by showing me how to keep the gut warm and in optimal condition for digestion; and brain health, by showing me how my thinking can cause anxious energy or calm energy. Beyond the classes, they offer workshops that help you understand what you are experiencing in the classes. You can learn how to work with your mind and body to be able to choose a release of tension and anxiety leading to a calmer and clearer place from which to think and make decisions and live your life.

When I leave a Body and Brain class I feel deep calm. That calm that comes from being connected with myself: present to both body and mind because each are relaxed and reconnected. This practice is a gift to myself that ripples out to family and friends. Meghan facilitates a special community and practice. 💚🌿🎶

Started my BnB journey almost a year ago. This experience has become an important part of my weekly life, participating at least three time weekly. More work spent during special weekend gatherings with the Grand Masters.
I look forward to calming my mind, stretching my body, using muscles I didn't know could move in so many directions.
BnB has been life changing for my busy, stressful, challenging life.

Body and brain has helped me access so many practices and ways of thinking that have changed my lifestyle and pointed me in the direction of my dreams :) I am so grateful for the knowledge and kindness of our masters and the open, honest practice they share with us for each class. I have been a member for 6 months and there are already several exercises I’ve learned that I incorporate into my daily routine. Through these practices I have been able to feel more grounded and safe in my body. I am able to disconnect from emotions and allow them to pass through me, rather than be overcome and paralyzed by them. It is such a gift to have the skills to connect with your body in this way and I’m so grateful to Body and Brain for offering it to me!

I have been a member for a few months now and I have found great benefit from this practice. I had never tried anything like this in the past and i definitely found myself stepping out of my comfort zone through out these months, which was a challenge, but I always knew it was something I needed to do to have a more complete life. I was able to do so in a welcoming and non judging environment and I have since notice changes in how approach challenges in my everyday life. There is a great sense of community and support and I have experience the instructors there going the extra mile for me when I needed it several times. I have had a great personal experience 👍

Body & Brain is unlike any other studios I’ve practiced at. The instructors are amazing! They’re really invested in your well-being and fully support you on your health and wellness journey. Some classes are more physically challenging than others which is nice depending on what you need at that time, and they conveniently offer both in-person & online classes. I always leave class feeling better mentally and physically. I’ve learned so much since practicing at B&B and it continues to have a very positive impact on my daily life- very grateful to have stumbled upon their studio!

I have been met with a tremendous amount of care and sincerity at Body and Brain (Brookline location specifically). I walked in not knowing what to expect and have since learned practical skills for creating and tuning into the feeling of groundedness in my body and cultivating self love. It has been both educational and practical, and the teachers are genuinely invested in your journey. In my experience they have gone above and beyond. If you are looking for alternative ways to address mental health, this could be an extremely beneficial and refreshing addition to your toolkit. It's also the first and so far only place where I have learned about the chakras from a practical standpoint which is pretty exciting! I will say that I sometimes don't feel that the yoga aspect quite cuts it as a physical practice - for this reason it doesn't necessarily replace other yoga classes, but at the same time it also gives you something much much more than other yoga classes.

Brain and Body has been such a positive influence on my life since starting a few months ago. While recovering from a concussion I needed a low impact way to exercise which these classes fit perfectly. More importantly than the physical exercises though, have been the mental exercises. The training and support to dig deep into your purpose and desires has been incredible. I started making the moves I needed in my life to get where I want to go.

My experience at Body & Brain has been nothing short of spectacular. This is a type of yoga that encourages compassion and truly learning to love oneself. This yoga is for you if you want to work on getting in touch with your body, your emotions, even your traumas, and consequently manifest true healing. I just started a few months ago and slowly but surely I am beginning to genuinely understand the process of healing.

While I have never actually been to a studio (pandemic), I have taken multiple workshops and classes since 2/2021. Not your typical yoga, but a very good way to connect your mind with your body and shut out the noise. I have learned that when you give yourself up to the universe, the universe gives back to you. And this concept keeps appearing in almost every book I read (and I read A LOT). As weird as it may sound, I highly recommend belly button button healing as well. It really grounds me and gives me a sense of well being. Tai Chi with Courtney is awesome! Your breath flows and the movements flow (not to mention that you close your exercise rings more than once). It leaves you feeling energized for the rest of the day. I definitely have found this practice to have a positive impact on my life. You may need to give time to all come together, but when it does, it’s amazing.

Wonderful center to attend classes, either online or in-person. Class leaders are very well prepared and adjust classes according to the ability of attendees. Physical exercise helps with strength and flexibility and relaxation techniques help alter stress and mood. All of this makes B&B a comfortable center for people of different ages and stages of fitness.

I came to Body and Brain at a time where lots of changes were happening in my life and I was suffering from anxiety. In the short months I've been taking classes here, I feel more centered, relaxed and at ease. I now try to take 3 classes a week and meditate daily and miss it when I miss a class. My life has taken a turn for the better because I have become more mindful in my thoughts and actions. I feel a profound difference in myself.

I started attending zoom classes for Tai Chi with Master Courtney and Qigong with Master Dahari after experiencing a scary heart condition that was partly caused by intense stress. From my very first session, I knew I was in the right place, not only for stress reduction, but for the art of breathing, stretching, strengthening, balance and increased energy. And for the joy of learning and practicing the Tai Chi form itself. My many chats with their coordinator, as well as masterful instructor, Meghan, have also been enlightening, encouraging, calming and healing. All of my questions and needs have been resolved with focus on my particular situation, increasing arthritis, and age - 82 - with caring, love and humor. I can't recommend this resource enough.

Hello! There are no words in any dictionary of any language which can paint the picture that is "Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi". That will not, however, stop me from sharing my experience thus far with the program. I am a recent college grad, working remotely for the city of NY from my home desk, and before this community, I was lost. My heart and mind were at constant warfare, leaving my soul in the middle without shelter from the bombarding thoughts and feelings, which controlled my day. To keep me preoccupied, on my lunch breaks, I would incorporate small, simple bodyweight exercises for the home. This became a daily routine to keep myself active and dedicated, however, something was missing. My mind and body were not one. There was no conversation happening within myself, and I was becoming frustrated with my progress. Then, like a guardian angel, my brother Steven suggested this "yoga" program he was a part of. I was skeptical at first, but after a Dahn Jon tapping session with him, I felt my heart sink into peace and my mind stretch its wings. After a friendly, welcoming, and heartwarming introduction with Master Meghan and Master Courtney, I was ready to make the investment in myself and join the Body & Brain community. The plethora of classes throughout the day and week make the commitment malleable to your schedule, which during the recent rampant remoteness, helps us all feel a little more connected. Through this class, I have found not only a brain and body connection, but thanks to our candid sharing sessions, I have found my voice. The exercises are never complicated and focus more on good form and good breathing, rather than simply doing a movement as quickly as possible. The Masters are all amazing people from around the world, all with the same passion to guide this community. That being said, the Masters are open to learning from us as much as they can teach us; it truly feels like a meaningful relationship rather than just a pupil/teacher dynamic. There are fantastic workshops on top of the classes almost weekly with different focuses and themes (e.g. the Earth Day stream with David was magical!). Lastly, the Masters are happy and excited to host one-on-ones to help members reach their personal goals, perform some individual training, and check-in holistically for the entire person's wellbeing. In conclusion, I do not know where I would be today without this program, this community, and those that dedicate every day to Body & Brian, but I do not have to find out! Rather, I have found purpose, routine, friends, and myself. Thank you Body & Brain from this young man in New Jersey. Water Up, Fire Down!

They also organize diverse workshops and activities like hiking in New Hampshire for young adults. In these pandemic times they have stepped up, offering both online and, where allowed, in person class.

Two sudden events caused me to join BnB online-training: the world-wide pandemic lockdown and my own cancer diagnosis. How was I supposed to follow the doctors’ recommendations to exercise my body powerfully during chemotherapy (to minimize side-effects) in times of closed gyms and yoga studios?
It was my 28-year old daughter who had been going to the center before the shutdown. She encouraged me to join her online-training. So I began to participate and I understood and felt very quickly the physical and mental impact of the classes. It was demanding, stimulating, and equally relaxing, calming, soothing. My goal was to maintain my flexibility, mobility, and balance of my body.
But now I see that I reached these goals not only in a physical but also in a mental way. My condition is better than before, my muscles are strong, I won the control over my body and the trust in my mind. With the help of the sensitive and empathic trainers, classes always brighten my mood, I sleep better, and I am beginning to balance body and mind. They promote imagination in my brain and sore muscles in my body – in a good way. We are collecting and spreading mental energy for ourselves in every exercise. It is such fun!
There are so many classes to choose from, and you don’t even have to leave the house! And if you turn off the video, you don’t even need to worry about your hairstyle. Two months ago I completed my medical treatments successfully and I came out of this time stronger than before. I am so very grateful to my daughter and all Masters of Body and Brain. Go on like this, it’s great!

Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi - Brookline is an incredible branch of an incredible organization. With a variety of classes and times to choose from, B&B makes each experience an engaging and personalized experience. B&B has made everyday the best day of my life, and has helped me look inward and outward with acceptance and without judgement. B&B has helped me check my stress levels, anxiety, and physical ailments, and has given me the confidence in my self needed in order to overcome the day-to-day challenges of life. B&B has truly taken yoga to new heights, and have brought forth my spiritual, physical, and mental awareness into my everyday life! Couldn't recommend more for anyone looking to become better, more aware, more focus, less anxious, less stressed, more accepting, more welcoming, more loving, more joyful, and more flexible!

Back in February of 2020 I was doing errands in Coolidge Corner when I popped into Body and Brain. I was greeted by Meghan. At that time I so needed an escape from my job and the stress of it. Meghan was calm and peaceful. We spent a long time chatting about the practice and I decided to sign up a small package of classes. I am so glad I did. Having done yoga in the past, I was immediately curious about how different this is. And with each different class I took I began feel more and more drawn to learn more about the practice. Once you engage you can take advantage of having a personal coach (of course, I chose Meghan). It is now September, and I try to take 3 classes a week. I try to take different classes and I truly enjoy them all for different reasons. All of the instructors are amazing. This practice allows you to truly be in the moment. Your body and brain will be united by the end of class. Calming and refreshing all in one package. I am so happy that I found Body and Brain. Such encouraging and caring guides.

Last February, I walked into the Body & Brain Yoga & Tai Chi Center in Brookline and was warmly welcomed by Manager, Courtney Lindop.
A friend had recommended B&B, and as I’d been stressed from work and a few general life challenges, I knew I needed some tools.
Courtney set up an appointment for a consult the following week and it was “just what the doctor ordered.” She showed me some simple ways to meditate, breathe deeply and give my active brain a rest.
I signed up for a program and began going to classes twice a week. As I practiced the exercises, I found not only ways to calm and focus, but also renewed energy.
I’m so grateful I connected with the center before the pandemic hit, because these tools have helped me to remain grounded during an especially challenging time! Now, I do the Zoom classes from home and continue to feel connected to the staff and community at Body & Brain.
Highly recommend this center and their able staff!

If you're looking for a traditional yoga studio this is not that place, and expecting that will do both this gym and yourself a great disservice. HOWEVER, if your path crossed with Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi's by what feels like a coincidence or accident, I assure you, it wasn't one.
Follow your gut, embrace this at times silly place, and commit to trying it for yourself. If you take the leap of faith your life will be rewarded and enriched for doing so with a deeper sense of self and greater control over your life than you ever thought possible. B&B is more of a "self-discovery and self-improvement gym" than a traditional yoga studio; and as you peel back the layers of the onion you will realize this place is all about empowering you with a set of tools to attain a state of mindfulness and self-mastery to enable you to attain a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life.

Body and Brain has become essential in our daily lives during the pandemic lockdown. Since all classes have been moved to Zoom, we can join more classes than ever and learn from instructors from all four centers in Mass. Every instructor is so joyful, professional, and personable. We often take the same class from different instructors. Each one offers some variations that we can learn from. It has been a wonderful experience!! The best of all is that the online classes will continue indefinitely even after the in-person class reopens. I would definitely recommend Body and Brain to anybody who wants to maintain his or her physical and mental health in this difficult time.

I've been coming to Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi since May of 2019, and I absolutely love it. It is so much more than just moving through the Yoga positions, which is what I have done in most other Yoga classes. I love the combination of stretching, tapping, breathing, yoga and Tai chi - the classes always introduce something new and wonderful. I feel more energetic and toned, my knees are way stronger. My husband has also joined me at the studio this summer, and has also been enjoying the experience. We are learning so much about the body and brain connection, energy, proper breathing - it's a holistic approach that we've been looking for. We feel so good after every class - we know we've done something good for ourselves. And we love our instructors - Courtney, Meghan and Master Cho. They are very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, attentive, thoughtful teachers who know every person by name, know our issues and limitations, and watch carefully over our progress. That personal attention makes this experience very special. We highly recommend this place - we certainly already have to several of our friends.

Body And Brain is an amazing place that has been invaluable in helping me manage my stress and live in the present. While my life has unfortunately gotten too busy to attend the regular classes, I’ve been recently attending the less frequent, but absolutely amazing Heroes days. A mix of both indoor class-style mediation and outdoor hiking and adventures, these events never fail to put me in a lasting good mood. I have met some of the most inspiring and wonderful people through these events. Whether you’re looking to work on your mindfulness, get a good workout, or just have fun and move your body, the Heroes events has it all! Highly recommend it :D

After attending Body & Brain in Brookline for 5 months, here is my take. The staff is friendly and very competent. This is a warm and peaceful place, ideal for exercise, meditation and ...learning. What is different from other studios is that Body & Brain mixes yoga, Pilates; Tai Chi and Qi Gong; strength, flexibility and stretching; body tapping and relaxation. Generous one hour sessions leave me tired but strangely at peace and energized. My brain and body (in places I did not know I had) feel alive!
I feel stronger spritually and physically. Hard to explain. In addition, Body & Brain offers on-going education supporting what they teach: Videos, evening or weekend workshops. I have attended several of them and have learned a lot about the relationship between my brain (mind) and my body.
The staff offers private sessions. I see Courtney who has done marvels with my back by the way.
Body & Brain offers a holistic all encompassing approach that is slowly changing my outlook on life and myself. I highly recommend the Brookline Center which is very good easy to get to. Another plus 😉

The instructors are experienced,dedicated and personable. After the class, often there are opportunities to share the class experiences with the instructor and the fellow participants. In the past six months, I have been attending the classes about three times a week, and I have noticed that my body becomes more flexible with a firmer foundation. Furthermore, I am more aware of the body- mind connection and the simple exercises which help mental relaxation and stress relief.

1 1/2 yrs ago I found Body & Brain by accident (maybe the Universe sent me there)
I have been living with chronic lower back pain, headaches and random pain in other parts of the body for 20 + yrs.
My life felt hopeless.
Since I have never taken yoga before I did not know what to expect when I walked in for my appointment.
The center is so calming and the staff is friendly. Good energy!
After taking one class I knew I want to go back.
I felt calm, relaxed, energized.
My body now is stronger, more flexible, mentally healthier, no more headaches and body pain.
I have hope again!!
Folks, come destress and heal your mind and body.
Thanks to all the staff :)

Mi experiencia fue inolvidable! Tomando en cuenta que sufría de muchos problemas con mi espalda, en dos meses mejore notablemente, mi energía mejoró mucho y mi estado de ánimo mucho más, aprendí a cuidar de mi cuerpo mejor.

I like this yoga because it has made me feel very strong in my body from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. I have been learning more how my body feels in each exercise. I feel the strength of my legs and I'm still working to make my dahnjon (2nd chakra) stronger.
I am practicing to be able to watch my emotions and better get to know the true self and soul inside of me.

I highly recommend the Brookline Center for Body and Brain Yoga. The teachers are caring and compassionate people as well as very skilled instructors. The classes are diverse, fun and challenging. I am calmer, have more energy for my life, and feel stronger physically and mentally. There are many opportunities offered to inspire my growth and to serve others, in addition to regular weekly classes. Attending class is always a highlight of my week. It is a wonderful, welcoming community!

Dahn yoga is not your typical yoga studio, and that is the best part about it. It's not just a bunch of people stretching so that they can be skinnier or prettier or because its cool now, They emphasize greatly the importance of meditation and mindfulness to improve your mind and body. The instructors are phenomenal and give you powerful tools to help manage your stress and anxiety from day to day life. They truly care and make and effort to help each individual that comes to their classes. The classes themselves are unique in that certain days focus on different aspects, some focus on gathering energy and other focus on stress relief and meditation. This studio has made a huge difference n my life and has taught me many valuable lessons. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants more positive energy and is ready to make improvements in their health and happiness!!!!!!

This is a beautiful Dahn Yoga center! The classes have helped me so much, more than anything I ever tried before, in terms of helping me with anxiety and insomnia. I learned so much from the classes and workshops and feel like I can handle stress a lot better. I would recommend this center to anyone looking to improve any aspect of physical, mental or emotional health.

I walked into a Dahn Yoga center 8 years ago and I got a LOT more than I bargained for. Dahn is more than just simple yoga; it's a holistic life management tool that promotes mental and physical health, a balanced center, an open heart, GREAT stress reduction, and increased happiness. I HIGHLY recommend it to ANYONE of ANY age!

This a beautiful studio. The instructors are very caring and attentive. Dahn yoga incorporated yoga, tai chi and mindfulness so when I leave the class I feel complete and relaxed. The feeling lasts for a couple days. I've really enjoyed classes and manage stress differently. My shoulder tension and vertigo are almost gone! Highly recommended!

Seven years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life - starting Dahn Yoga. I have never looked back. Being retired, I aim for four times a week, enjoying the variety of classes offered. My body seems to rejoice as I breathe and stretch like I don't do while running around doing chores. After each class I either feel relaxed or energized or both. I treasure the time spent in meditation and stilling my busy mind. I have learned to focus on the body part we are using, giving it my full attention and watching as I become more flexible and stronger, as I age. At 69, I amaze myself at what my body has learned to do in Dahn Yoga. Thank you to our wonderful teachers - I love each of you and how you work us for a full hour and a quarter.

Dahn yoga classes are both relaxing and energizing. There's a good mixture of stretching and strengthening poses with a large focus on core strength. This leaves me feeling centered and ready to go.
The teachers make the classes great for all skill and fitness levels too. I've been a competitive athlete for years with my fair share of associated aches and pains. Dahn yoga thoroughly realigns and strengthens those old injuries and gently makes me strong in my body again.
If I come when I am tired, I always leave feeling more awake, relaxed and calm. If I come ready to move and get into my body for an hour or so, then I know I won't be disappointed at the Dahn classes.
I love coming here with my father. We both enjoy being able to spend time together this way.
Dahn has also introduced me to simple meditation practices that even a distractable daydreamer like myself can follow and enjoy.

I have experienced more positive changes than I ever thought possible through Dahn Yoga. I am physically healthier but even more amazing is the transformation of my mental state.
Throughout my life I have battled with depression and anxiety. Trying a myriad of solutions that never stuck. Through breathing exercises and meditation I saw immediate changes in anxiety levels- this is what kept me coming.
There is many more obstacles I've overcome since starting the practice, gaining more love and respect for myself along the way. I believe the difference with Dahn was the realization of choosing hope through life's ups and downs, rather than assuming despair. Not to mention the support from the instructors and staff who have a genuine desire to help and unending compassion for others.
I would recommend Dahn Yoga for anyone ready for real change. Walking through life with confidence has drastically improved relationships with my family and friends. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give to others is being comfortable in your own skin!

Since I started practicing Dahn yoga I noticed that my weight has started to come down much easier. It became easier to control my appetite and I could see the weight coming off. Over the past month and a half I have lost about 10 pounds. It was hard to believe because it took my 2 years and I could not lose any weight before.

This is the place to leave your worries behind, to unwind and breath it all out. I have been coming to Brookline Dahn Yoga ever since I can remember. Not only is the location very convenient to attend, but you become acquainted with the rest of the members so its always nice to see a familiar face. After leaving the center, you feel so rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. Going after work, or beginning of day always prepares you to start your week right. The weekend classes are very comforting and relaxing. I highly recommended to try it out, and experience the transformation for yourself.

It's definitely different from the yoga I've done before but it's exactly what I need! I seriously feel like I just got a massage. I've been going for three months and it's become a part of my routine.
The center is warm and friendly and the class is great. The classroom is upstairs and the reception area is downstairs and they have mats available.

I have taken a lot of different yoga classes and I love traditional yoga. I tried yoga at the Brookline Dahn Yoga after purchasing a groupon. It's a little different style of yoga because they do tapping and some other things that we didn't do in regular yoga, but overall I really enjoyed it. It's not quite as much just for flexibility but I will keep going because I think it will help me deal with my stressful life. :-) I am happy I found it!

I have been coming to the Brookline Dahn Yoga for 3 months, and it's been great. I had never done yoga before I started and I was afraid I would be very behind in the class. But all the instructors are great and I had fun even though my body was very stiff at first. The other people in the class were also very friendly and I like that they have time to share after class and drink tea. It's not "hot yoga" so that's also a plus for me.

This has been a great find since moving to Boston! Each class is a journey and I can feel how much calmer and more focused I am every time. I've done many forms of exercise but this is definitely the one that best helps me feel better mentally as well as physically. The crowd is pretty diverse and the pace of the class is usually moderate. Danielle and David are great instructors and overall I have really enjoyed it!
