Purpose: Stimulates and opens the Bladder and Kidney Meridians, which run along the legs.

Concentration: Straighten the knees as much as possible.

Breathing: If breathing through the nose becomes easier than breathing with an open mouth, start breathing with mouth closed.

Time: Three to five minutes. If holding the posture causes pain or becomes too difficult, change to the next posture.

1.    Firmly hold the front or sides of your feet as Ilchi Lee instructed. Slowly stretch and straighten both legs to the best of your ability.

2.    Keep your head on the floor and your lower back as close to the floor as possible. The pelvis will lift off the floor. Vibration is likely to occur as the Bladder Meridian opens.

3.    Completely relax your chest and shoulders.

4.    Be sure to push out your heels to fully stretch the Bladder and Kidney Meridians.

5.    If there is too much tension in the shoulders when you try to grab your feet, try the modified position (holding ankles or calves) to avoid tension in the shoulders.

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.
