Testimonial for Dahn Yoga Training

Larry

I returned to Maryland from a trip to China with digestive distress. Suddenly other health problems arose. So, at 60 years of age, I was feeling old – belying the headline I had seen in a magazine, “60 Is the New 30.” I made the rounds of doctors and alternative health practitioners, but with minimal healing results. Then a friend told me about Dahn Yoga & Healing Center in Bethesda (http://www.dahnworld.com, http://www.dahnyoga.us). I tried a session, felt the Dahn approach made sense for my condition, liked it as well, and committed myself to go regularly.

I feel that I am investing in improving my health for the next 30 or more years; otherwise I doubt that I will make it in terms of quantity of years or quality of living. I embarked on a routine of hour-long yoga classes (an Asian-wisdom and Western brain-knowledge body-mind-spirit exercise system that is much more than yoga), transforming workshops of many hours or several days, private healing-acceleration sessions, and personal exercises (homework) throughout the day. In a matter of months, the results were quite positive, bordering on astounding:

1. My digestive trouble disappeared, and without medication.
2. Previously unable to walk up Metro escalators without leg pains and hyper breathing, I took them in stride without breaking a sweat.
3. Compared to prior hectic three-week business trips to Japan, during the last one I raised my vitality, increased my productivity, lowered my stress, and significantly reduced the debilitating jet lag of flights half-way-around the world.
4. After decades of mild panic attacks when needles were inserted to extract blood for tests, I practiced a deep-breathing exercise to get through the pain with ease.
5. After a surgeon suggested an operation to fix a returning hernia, abdomen-strengthening exercises reduced its protrusion enough for me to live with it and thus avoid surgery for now.
6. Lost unneeded pound in the right place, so that after 30 years I have no more potbelly.
7. After getting up several times a night to urinate, I sleep right through.
8. When starting Dahn, I could do zero push-ups; now I can have the arm strength and breathing stamina for 70 of them.
9. I have greater peace and clarity to deal with stressful episodes – such as traffic jams, bad service and client complaints.
10. After decades of having short periods of sadness about aspects of my life, I am free of this negative emotion, instead experiencing joy, love and gratitude.

With family and friends of my generation so often paying the health price of too much stress and too little inspiration or purpose in their lives, I now see healing myself as only the stepping-stone of becoming a healer for others, locally and globally. And it all started with the wake-up call of intestinal distress in China!
