The Best Yoga Healing Place in the City!

by DK1000 at Citysearch

I used to have arthritis and a frozen left shoulder, plus very painful calcium deposits that required cortisone shots from my MD. However, after taking Tao Yoga classes and having healing sessions at the Tao Center all my symptoms are gone! My arm has a full range of motion! Not only that, my mood is much brighter and I feel greater peace and spiritual connection. The Tao Center is a very special place to help you physically, mentally and/or spiritually. The devoted and gifted trainers start helping you immediately in a beautiful caring atmosphere. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Be careful!!

by grngal at Citysearch

Be aware, this is Dahn Yoga, which you should google if you don't know what it is. This is not a regular t'ai chi or yoga center. It's some kind of religion or organization, but also a business.

Look at the reviews. They're all either 5 star gushing, or negative. Many of the people only review other branches of the same thing (all have different names, but they're still Dahn Yoga).

Members and instructors get a lot of pressure to recruit members (they get a commission), and spend lots of money.

It might be exactly what you're looking for, or it might be a place to get brainwashed, but you should do the research first.

Really connecting with your body!

by Dinavitt at Citysearch

I've studied many forms of yoga and love them all for many, many reasons. However, I have to say that I HAVE NEVER experienced the true mind and body connection as I did when I started this practice. I could actually FEEL where I was holding tension and stress in my body. I COULD FEEL THE BLOCKAGES. I had no idea. I wish everyone could at least have experienced what I did. It's so hard to put into words. But, all I can say is that I really went inside, for the first time ever, I think. And, I actually felt my body and felt my mind and emotions that were connected. Strange but I actually cried in class. And, I knew I was releasing something very deep that needed to come out- something that had been held inside my body (muscles and joints) for a long time. So, I encourage everyone to get out of your own way and explore this as an option- it's not just a sport like I found in other yoga practices... I actually feel like I have some tools to take with me- not just posses but a greater understanding.... ok- hope you check it out!! :)

Best yoga studio in the area

by Olglu at Citysearch

I tried other places and no one was as convenient as the Tao yoga studio. I love the peaceful environment of the center. Since I'm practicing this yoga I feel more relax and at the same time more focus and energized. I'm learning how to sustain my energy and many natural ways to heal my body through exercise, from a head ache to digestion problems. I highly recommend this place.

by deevee1 at Citysearch

This is an amazing place- you can do Tai Chi/ Ki Gong and Yoga all under ONE ROOF- and no extra fees. How cool is that! I love the ENERGY elements in all the classes, especially the combination with YOGA. For me, it was a dream come true, A Yoga class with ENERGY training. WOW, it doesn't get any better than that! Since I've been praciting my connection to my alternative energy healing practice has really grown. All I can say is, this is a VERY unique practice and a wonderful opportunity to discover yourself and open up more and more. I'm SO HAPPY TO HAVE MET AND DISCOVERED THIS PRACTICE I HOPE TO SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE I KNOW and LOVE. Check it out!
