The first day of taking a class at Dahn Yoga was November 5th, 2005. I could not anticipate how much my life would change and improve from becoming a member of Dahn Yoga!

Since then, I have been taking regular Dahn Yoga classes three

times a week and attending many of their weekend and week long retreat courses. As a direct result of having this practice, my

body is in excellent health and I feel a sense of

peace, love and joy on a regular basis.

I am now a Dahn Yoga instructor for regular and

prenatal yoga classes at the Vinings Dahn Yoga Center in Atlanta.

through taking classes and attending retreats at Dahn Yoga

and to also learn more about the history of Dahn Yoga.

After only a few weeks of taking regular Dahn Yoga classes,

I knew that I wanted to become a Gold Member, which is a lifetime membership, because of all of the benefits that my body, mind, and spirit were experiencing from only a short time of being a student. The primary physical improvements that were obvious to me from only a few weeks of class were overall sense of peace and joy, greater circulation improvement, deeper regular breathing in and outside of class, and a body that was becoming alive with amazing energy. I had taken over ten years of traditional Indian style yoga, (i.e. hatha, iyengar and ashtanga),

and I had never felt my body change is such ways that I do from Dahn energy yoga.

Dahn Yoga was founded by Ilchi Lee, in South Korea

twenty-seven years ago. There are over 250 centers in the United States and they are also located in seven countries around the world. They teach a combination of meridian stretching, breathing and relaxation techniques, meditation and energy training and Qigong or DahnMuDo. The main focus is to bring your energy down to your Dahn-jon, or the lower intestine area where the first chakra is located, so that you will have more physical power and a clear mind and a healthier body.

I have now taken their Initial Awakening and Finding True Self courses on the weekends and have attended their week long Healer School program that is located at their US central location in Sedona, AZ. In the fall of 2007, I traveled up to Ellenville, NY, to their Fallsview Best 5 resort, for the four day Fasting and Liver Detox program. Each course and retreat I have been on has completely enhanced my physical and emotional states. In 2008 I have taken the ten day Tao Holistic Healing course in Sedona, AZ that completely changed my life for the better. They also have offered several week long morning bowing, yoga and meditation training courses that have enhanced my life greatly as well. I continue to take classes three times a week and get to participate in the monthly Gold Member meetings that are incredibly healing.

The teachers have trained for at least a few years and have completed a Master training course that allows them to assess the health and well-being of each student when they begin to take classes. They are as well, healers, and can help heal the students in private healing sessions in addition to their regular class teachings. I have had many private healing sessions that have helped me through a very challenging pregnancy and post-partum state. I have never felt healthier and more at peace since I have been a student of Dahn Yoga. I strongly encourage everyone to try at least one to three months to see how your life can change for the better!
