Yoga may help recovering addicts heal, self-soothe

0 Comments

One of the many great things about Dahn Yoga is that it not only helps individuals overcome their everyday problems, like stress, anxiety or physical tension, but it can also be used as a far more targeted self healing regimen. A number of studies have shown that Dahn Yoga and other, similar holistic mind-body systems may supplement traditional therapies during recovery from drug addiction.

A recent study determined as much, after a pair of researchers from Adelphi University tested the effect of stretching, deep breathing, gentle postures and tai chi on adults who suffered from chemical dependency.

The duo found that practicing this regimen several times a week helped addicts reduce their cravings. Psychotherapist and co-author Morton Kissen got the idea for the study in part from his "lengthy experiences with the Korean Dahn yoga system of training, [which] involves considerable practice in intentionality with regard to the body."

Similar investigations have yielded positive results of this sort. An article published by Yoga Magazine illustrated the potential uses for daily yoga workshops during drug and alcohol recovery.

The news source noted that a hybridized form of the system, one that consists of both yoga instruction and a therapeutic group story circle, can help people recovering from substance abuse to soothe their bodies during detoxification.

Dahn Yoga book teaches moving meditation, wins award

0 Comments

When they have exhausted their typical methods of relaxing, many Americans turn to Dahn Yoga books as a way to slow down their frantic pace and slowly, calmly recharge their batteries. Many of these volumes offer invaluable advice on how to pursue patience and quietude, which may be one reason that a book created by Dahn Yoga Education won a popular literary award.

The publication, which is titled Bowing: A Moving Meditation for Personal Transformation, won a Gold Medal from the Living Now Book Awards in the Meditation/Relaxation category.

Simply put, the book is about exactly what you might expect – the act of bowing. This humble, respectful and empathic gesture has existed in Asian cultures for millennia, and a deep bow happens to use almost every muscle in the legs, trunk, arms and neck.

In order to take advantage of the holistic properties of this action, BEST Life Media created a volume that teaches practitioners to engage in bowing as part of brain wave vibration, which is a form of moving meditation.

To honor the book's success, BEST Life Media is offering a limited-time 20 percent discount on Bowing: A Moving Meditation for Personal Transformation.

Dahn Yoga video teaches holistic acupressure

1 Comment

If you find yourself run off your feet at work or at home, you may feel that your energy level has plummeted, leaving you exhausted and tense. While a short meditation or yoga session can do the trick, a new Dahn Yoga video explains how a simple, self-applied reflexological technique can help your feet and your whole being feel better.

The clip, which is the latest installment of the system's Two Minute Tips video series, notes that taking care of one's feet is extraordinarily important for overall wellness, not only because they are one's primary mode of locomotion, but also because they contain acupressure points that can unlock and release pent up energy.

The video features a series of activities that can be done in the comfort of one's own home. These include a rotation and massage, as well as the manipulation of an acupressure point that can be located near the center of the foot's sole.

By gently pressing on this area, yoga enthusiasts can stimulate an energy channel connected to the kidneys, one that relieves tension and can ease their sense of stress.

Meditation may boost cerebral, mental and personal growth

1 Comment

Taking Dahn Yoga basics like yoga and meditation may do more than enhance fitness and encourage personal growth. A recent study has suggested that practicing brain wave vibration, a form of meditation crossed with yoga, can augment the activity of brain regions associated with creativity.

Research published in the journal Neuroscience Letters concluded as much after using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to scan the brains of participants who practiced a specific form of yoga.

This practice, called Dahn Yoga brain wave vibration, involves both physical movement and mental exploration. The authors explained it in their report.

"Brain wave vibration meditation is a kind of moving meditation that is designed to help quiet the thinking mind and to release negative emotions through performing natural rhythmic movements and focusing on bodily sensations," the team said.

MRI scans revealed that participants who regularly take part in this activity experienced enhanced activity in the default mode network, a group of cerebral regions that stay active when an individual is daydreaming.

Researchers said that this increased activity suggests an improved attentiveness and personal awareness among those who practice brain wave vibration.

Taking on Dahn Yoga basics like this may allow members to fast-track their mental, physical and personal growth.

Video explains where modern Dahn Yoga basics originated

0 Comments

The basics of Dahn Yoga arose from a convergence of mind-body disciplines practiced at least 5,000 years ago on the Asian continent. Over time, these methods were honed, simplified and passed from hand to hand, making them the efficient system of physical and personal change that they are today. But where did the most recent iteration of Dahn Yoga originate? A new video has the answer:

Released by Dahn Yoga and Health Centers, the new clip explains that Dahn Yoga as it is practiced today was created as an exercise to help a stroke victim regain some mobility, flexibility and optimism. This occurred in 1985, in a Korean public park. The man who created the Dahn Yoga system previously worked in the health field.

Since that time, the popularity of Dahn Yoga has spread worldwide. Currently, hundred of Dahn Yoga centers exist across the U.S., helping novices and advanced yoga enthusiasts change their personal, mental and physical habits for the better.

For those interested in the basics of Dahn Yoga, countless instructional and educational videos exist online, too. Learning more about the ancient yogic practice of reuniting the mind and body is just a click or two away.

Dahn Yoga centers offer limited-time promotion

1 Comment

When it comes to value, the dozens of U.S. centers that offer yoga classes on Dahn Yoga basics can hardly be beaten this month. For the first half of the month, Dahn Yoga centers are offering a prize promotion, and all participants need do is sign up for a month of yoga classes.

From March 1st through the 17th, those who sign up for a new membership will be entered to win a free month of classes, as part of the "March Magic" promotion.

These basics will be taught in a number of classes, which cover a range of Dahn-related topics. For beginners, classes start quite simply, usually with deep breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and simple meditation postures that help the body let go of tension.

As one's membership progresses, the Dahn Yoga basics are gradually replaced by more complex exercises, including tai chi, meridian channeling, brain wave vibration tuning and more advanced meditation poses.

All of these exercises help the brain bridge the gap between itself and the body, a gap that is often exacerbated by the stresses of day-to-day living. Once the mind-body connection has been reestablished, members discover a long-held awareness of the symmetry of existence.

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.
