A story appeared on Page 7 in the November 9, 2009 issue of The New York Post that purported to uncover a relationship between a new supplementary program being adopted by several New York City public schools and Dahn Yoga.

I only have occasional flair ups. I no longer have acid reflux or symptoms of irritable [...]

Last week I received an e-mail regarding former employee complaints about the Dahn Yoga program. I realize people are allowed to express opinions and file lawsuits for any reason. While I disagree with the information in the complaint, I would like to express my experiences as first a Dahn member, then as a [...]

My Dahn Yoga practice has changed my life for the better! It all began 3 years ago, with a trip to my local Laundromat. I had started a new job and was under extreme stress. I’d be so tired when I’d go home after work that I would just stare at the TV [...]
