  Since I am taking classes with Mineola Body & Brain, I feel more relax, and energize. I feel more flexible and my back pain is gone. I am learning how to deal with everyday stress. Each class teaches me how to let go of my anger, stress, and frustration, which I accumulate in me.

  In a word - great! I wasn’t sure what to expect when looking into yoga as I’d never done it before and wasn’t sure it was for me. Well, it turns out that this is Dahn Yoga which isn’t just yoga – it’s more of a whole body and mind wellness program encompassing a combination of yoga, tai chi, meditation, stretching and basic exercises. And I love it! And, more importantly, my body loves it. After only five months, I feel stronger, am definitely much more flexible, and my muscle tone is becoming better defined. Daily exercise has always been part of my life, but this is different. While it’s a full workout, I wind up having more energy afterward than when I start. And it’s enjoyable -- I really look forward to it. And much of that has to do with Master Joyce. She runs this particular branch, and she is terrific. She fosters a warm, inviting and positive atmosphere. With a calm tone and gentle sense of humor, she helps guide the class to gain maximum benefit and have fun while doing it.

  I have chronic back and neck pain, so I decided to take a trial class...Best decision I could have made. Joyce is a wonderful instructor who gets to know each and every individual in her classes!!! She advises people according to their own abilities and their personal physical & mental issues. The stretching in this class makes me feel as if I had a massage! In addition, Joyce guides the class through one of the best meditation sessions I have ever had...& that is after trying numerous yoga studios. This studio is a warm & inviting space that has become an integral part of my life that I cannot do without.

  So glad I decided to walk in on a whim! I signed up for a trial class to give it a shot, and immediately joined as a member right after. The instructor Joyce is TRULY a healer. She is extremely knowledgable in what she does & exhibits a kind helping personality & spirit. Before Body & Brain I felt so mentally stressed that it led to back-pain & major anxiety. I know have an outlet that I look forward to every single week. Such a friendly, positive, and welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages!!! Through the combination of yoga, tai chi, and meditation at my weekly classes- I feel better than I have in years :-) HIGHLY recommend!!!!

  After years of playing competitive sports, injuries and arthritis had taken a toll. In my mid-sixties I knew I needed to make changes after having both knees replaced and having issues with both shoulders. I never did much stretching and I knew I needed to start. I met Joyce at the Williston Park Street Fair and decided to give Yoga a shot. I started taking Yoga with Joyce at Body & Brian Yoga in October 2013. Originally, I took private sessions. Because of my restrictions, I didn’t want to take a regular class and Joyce modified the program as needed. My progress has been steady. I can now clasp my hands behind my back and it is much easier putting on jackets and belts. I have less pain when sleeping at night. I now attend group classes usually three times a week. I heartily endorse Joyce and Body and Brain Yoga. She is a very competent instructor who cares about her students and their progress. I never thought I would ever take Yoga but now look forward to our sessions. I realized that with Joyce’s demeanor I could have taken group classes from the start. She is very supportive of new members helping them to get acclimated. I’m use to heavy gym workouts but this form of Yoga is much more gentle and easier on the joints.
