Five months ago a close friend of mine, whose opinion I value highly, shared with me his impressions of a Korean brain-knowledge, body-mind-spirit exercise system called Dahn Yoga. Cautioning me that the name was a bit of a misnomer, as it is much more than yoga, he shared with me how the daily exercise classes, workshops and healing sessions had helped him with some health problems.

I did not have any major health issues, but I was curious. Feeling lethargic and worrying about maintaining my health as I got older (I am 58 years old), I had been searching for a regular exercise program. I did not like the emphasis on competitive body-building and the glaring TV sets at most gyms and health clubs. So I thought I had nothing to lose by trying Dahn Yoga.

The Dahn Yoga exercise program is rigorous. Initially, I could hardly stretch and found some of the positions difficult to do. But within a few weeks, I started to get more limber. The exercise routine varies each day with new instructors coming to the center to offer their expertise.

I go four-five times a week and find that people are commenting on how much younger I look. (I definitely feel younger!) My skin is more radiant and tighter.

Normally in spring, I suffer from allergies and I have noticed that they are hardly bothering me this year.

My digestion has improved; in particular, I no longer am constipated, which was a regular ailment.

The private healing sessions have helped me to relieve stress and release energy blockages. The regular exercise routine along with the healing sessions emphasizes energy flow along the meridians and healthy utilization of one’s organs. I believe that my body was under tremendous stress and my organs were underutilized. The Dahn approach appeals to me so much more than the Western orientation of prescribing pills to deal with the symptoms and not recognizing the whole human being.

In the periodic workshops, I have learned about the holistic Dahn approach to understanding one’s own body’s natural energy system.

The workshops, exercise program and healing sessions are done with utmost professionalism.

I am so glad that I found out about Dahn Yoga. I am sure practicing what I have learned in the last five months will add years to my life and make the next stage of my life more vital.

Though it was founded in the 1980s, Dahn Yoga's basic precepts and techniques are directly descended from methods practiced five millennia ago in East Asia. These precepts include the importance of the mind's partnership with the body, as well as the need for a balanced bond between the two.

Today, thousands of Americans practice Dahn Yoga everyday, many of whom are delightedly trying it for the first time. Taking a little time out of one's day to stretch, breathe, pose and meditate with a gentle smile on one's face can radically change one's mood and outlook.

This blog offers responses to news items that prominently feature Dahn Yoga and its neighborhood centers.
