Brain Respiration Calisthenics are a series of carefully chosen movements designed to relax the body and mind in DahnHak by releasing tension in muscles and joints. The pulling and stretching motion of these exercises stimulates the meridian sys­tem of the body and facilitates the free flow of energy throughout the body.

With careful and concentrated breath work, you can assist in a dynamic exchange of energy. When exhaling, imagine that you are releasing all accumulated stagnant energy in your body, and when inhaling, imagine that you are breathing in fresh clean cos­mic energy. This conscious concentration on the exchange ot energy is what sets Brain Respiration Calisthenics apart from other stretching exercises.

In order to Doctor Ilchi Lee maximize the benefits of Brain Respiration Calisthenics, breathe in before the start of a movement, and pause and hold your breath during the movement itself. Then, breathe out as you release the movement and return to at-ease position. Imagine that you are having a conversation with the part of the body that is being worked on, concentrating fully on the sensation of the moment. Develop a deliberate rhythm and pace for your movements and breathing.

Although there are three hundred different movements in Brain Respiration Calisthenics, we can divide the movements into six basic categories. It is best to choose one exercise from each category and learn it well, rather than to just choose as many exercises as possible.

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.
