Body & Brain Forest-Hills

If you are looking for a practice for your mind and body this is it. Each class is an hour and ten minutes (10 minute warm ups). It appeals to all levels because the instructors are always suggesting modifications to all stretches. But in that time you will deeply stretch your body, then focus on your breathing which helped me relax (not easy for an accountant like me) and then meditate (which helped me relaxed even more. Did I say I was an accountant?).
After class we all gathered and shared some tea and just talked how we felt during class. I left class more open and I felt lighter.

Body & Brain Forest Hills
Think twice before you commit. If you’re wise, you won’t commit at all.
Do not waste your money. They’re very quick to take your money but slow to refund it. I came here looking for traditional yoga not vague ideas about energy.
Master Amy was effusive and eager to get me to sign a long-​term contract. In the stressed state I was in, I didn’t research Body & Brain’s practices thoroughly. Almost immediately, I knew this wasn’t for me. I followed their directions and wound up at my physician with a bruised and sore abdomen. I heeded his advice immediately. Stop this! Upon my physician’s direction, and with the letter he penned, I returned to Body & Brain detailing his instructions that I end this activity at once, and requested a refund. My contract states, ‘You may cancel the agreement without penalty upon a doctor’s order… all moneys paid pursuant to the agreement shall be refunded within 15 business days of receipt of such notice of cancellation…‘
I requested my $ 961 refund that is supported by the medical note.
Master Amy said, «Oh of course, we’ll refund your money,» and then wanted to talk it over. I asked within what span of time I could expect the refund? First, she stated that it would take several business days because they’re a corporation. I requested the address and contact number of their corporate headquarters. Master Amy completely ignored my three requests for the information, giving me, instead a number for Customer Service, which, just coincidently only connects one to a voicemail mailbox!
In addition, she stated that she would not process the refund until she was ready later in the afternoon. I requested an email verification of this. Do you think I’ve received it? Guess again.
Recently, I’ve become aware of Dahn Yoga’s shady practices in the U.S. Some speak of it as being a cult. Given the Stepford attitude of those I briefly met there, I’m not amiss to giving this thought some credence.
Vet this organization thoroughly or share in the risk of being further stressed. Why is it, that with reputable companies the Customer Service is superlative and you never have to argue about your own money?
I am fully prepared to take this ‘corporation’ to court if that is what it takes to recoup my money, a much too-​steep investment in quackery and shady practices. I caution anyone considering Body & Brain Yoga to thoroughly research this place prior to committing any amount of money. And remember, that sincerity does not exist behind every smile.

Terrific and unique place to relax while you grow as person as well. Special staff that really care and committed to help you feel well. Through the practice of Yoga, you can gain so much calmness to help you with the problems of everyday living. Physically, get better too. Take the elevator up to third floor and enjoy, learn, grow.
An oasis that is very clean.

This is a well-​run and inviting center in which to practice a Korean-​style yoga. Exercises are presented to challenge everyone at the appropriate level. Everyone is encouraged to do his/​her best without overdoing it. The members are friendly and welcoming. I always leave feeling glad I had come.

I can’t say enough how amazing dahn yoga is. Master Amy teaches most classes and challenges and relaxes at the same time. I never thought I would feel connected to something like this. Myself and my boyfriend are frequent students and it’s the best around. Sign up!
