“A couple months ago I was looking for something to relieve stress and help me get back into shape. Somehow I could feel that I had not signed up for a simple yoga class, but really I had discovered a practice that would change my life. At first I had many questions and I did not fully understand all the little nuances that make this practice so special. However, what I did understand was how I felt; the benefits that Dahn had on my body, my mind, and my spirit. I have rediscovered that life is beautiful and that there is hope for a happier more peaceful existence on earth.

After two weeks of attending classes at the center and becoming familiar with the practice and customs, I attended the DahnMuDo retreat, and I will never forget that weekend. My body was physically challenged which I enjoyed, but most importantly I opened my heart and mind to the possibilities. As my practice continued and I attended the Shim Sung workshop, I could feel myself growing and becoming more connected to my true self. At times I had doubts, questions, mood swings, and physical ailments. Nevertheless, I knew that my practice was helping to heal me, and I did not want to stop growing.

The people I have met and the connection I feel to the community and humanity is inspiring and humbling, and I feel grateful to have found others who too want to make this world a better place. My yoga has brought me to explore places inside of me more deeply, and an irreversible change within has begun. Sometimes I have impulsive thoughts and actions, because I am so excited about the bright and meaningful future that lies ahead of me. Sometimes I get impatient; I want to start right now! I want my life to change right now! In reality, it already has, and I know that if I stay focused on myself and on my practice, that the details will fall into place.

Since I have begun ChunBuKyung training, I can feel a special connection with the universe and its purpose for me. When I open my heart and believe in the power, I can feel the energy of what it is I am searching for. I feel very grateful for all that I have experienced. As if it all led up to this point in time; like I am waking up from a daze. I know there will be obstacles along the way and that others will challenge my beliefs, but I must stay strong and remember that this is meant to be. I have the power to choose; I am the master of my life.”
