Dahn Yoga benefits

Afsi Felsher, Cherry Creek center, CO

I've been practicing Dahn Yoga for 18 months and I have never been happier. Dahn Yoga practice is fun, exhilarating, simple, non competitive, and mood altering. It brings a lot of health benefits physically and emotionally to one's self. If you are unhappy about your job, relationships, physical condition, or even unsure of who you are, Dahn Yoga practice will help becoming more centered, being able to see the positives in work place, or relationships, and self. It helps improve our outlook in life and offers tools to improve our personal and professional relationships as opposed to running away from them. In fact Dahn Yoga is not just Yoga, it's a life time practice of learning about natural healing of the body and mind through learning about ki energy circulation and breathing techniques. It's a practice of finding peace within and love and peace for humanity and Earth. It's a learning of conquering our mind created fears and gaining courage about change in a positive way.

Overcoming Depression and medication

Saundra, Kaimuki center, HI

I am semi-retired and I am involved in a variety of activities. I have been attending the Dahn Yoga class in Kaimuki for about 8 months. This type of Yoga has enhanced my body with the right amount of exercise, meditation, etc. It greatly helps with my body conditioning. I was able to lose suborn pounds and make positive changes to my body. I am healthier than I was before I started. I was taking Anti-Depression medication for almost 3 years and a few months ago, with my Doctor's approval, stopped the medication. Dahn Yoga helps my stress levels and increases my confidence. It keeps my mind, body and spirit healthy. I am pleased that I discovered an exercise that works so well, I thoroughly enjoy and a center that takes a special interest in each student.

Physically & emotional healing

Mariana Krstevski, Northbrook center, IL

I started doing Dahn Yoga on a mission to recover my health in 2012... I was experiencing a lot of health problems for over a year. At that time several Doctors were unable to diagnose me, and then once they discovered I had a rare nerve condition they still were unable to find a cure for my constant pain & suffering. It was intolerable... it hindered my life severely, I suffered from depression, and panic attacks almost every day along with dealing with tremendous pain...I was taking a mass amount of medication that I knew was not healthy for me, nor did it rid me of my pains. There was never a dosage with the medications that truly worked. Through Dahn Yoga holistic healing, I learned to heal my body, and mind by utilizing the acupressure points in my body through my meridian channels... and ridding myself of all the toxins. Within a time frame of 3 months...I was able to get off of all my medications, and completely rid myself of my condition!!!!!!!!! It was a miracle.... even my do

You are not even the same person that was here last week

John Tagoya, Libertyville center, IL

When I came in to the Libertyville Dahn Yoga Center, I had a lot of tension, I had a lot of anxiety. I'd recently stopped taking medication for anxiety…I really wanted to find something else…Instantly I had less pain. From the tension and stress I had a lot of pain. From the anxiety I had a lot of stomach problems. A lot of that has calmed down… people around me, they all see how positive I am now and inspiring. And I did end up dropping like 70 pounds… I used to smoke cigarettes. That was like a battle and then I would stop and start and stop but not anymore… Another positive thing that’s happened that I’ve noticed for a while now is any time I get hurt, my healing time is so much quicker…

No more anxiety attacks

Jennifer Pilapil, Torrance center, CA

I was on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. But I couldn’t let that happened especially since I have a young child to take care of so I was determined to try out Yoga. As I searched the internet to find the best Yoga center I was at loss since there were so many choices. But only one stood out among the rest, and that was Dahn Yoga. I signed up right away for an introductory session and for the first time in a long time I felt really good; so full of energy and so full of life. I’m glad I made the right choice for me. It has been over two months since I started and I have to say I have not experienced another anxiety attack and I have so much more energy. My mind is focused and my flexibility is improving, alleviating all the aches and pains. Finding myself again was the best blessing I could have asked for. I am and will be forever grateful to Choi and Ryan, the instructors, for their guidance, support and their sincerity.

Mentally it’s better for me on a day to day basis with work

Minoo Chang, Libertyville center, IL

Physically,the benefits for me would be that in a year I lost like 20 pounds without really changing anything except…practicing the yoga regularly, you know…two/three times a week… And then, I used to go to morning class 2 times a week before I went to work. And, I can sit like this, in half lotus posture, which I couldn’t do before. It’s little things like that… And then, I also have a bit of a temper and the things I learned and read in books were things I knew already, you know, for your mindset, yourself, and outside things—keeping them outside so it doesn’t affect you. So that’s something I work in dealing with people. Things like that, which I didn’t realize are more important than the stretching and the flexibility and losing weight part. So, mentally it’s better for me on a day to day basis with work.

I was given a Groupon voucher to use at the Body n Brain Center in Bloomingdale that offers Dahn Yoga classes. Having suffered years of poor posture and tension in the neck/back.

Carole, the center manager, with genuine interest, knowledge and commitment assisted me in finding relief from all that tension. I especially found the breathing and stretching techniques to calm and recenter myself have helped. Thank you Carole, you are amazing and a patient teacher.

I have reduced my health age by 7 plus years

Lea Pierce, Albuquerque center, NM

Handle the stress? Absolutely, but that’s only part of the story. When signing up, little did I know it was a full wellness package. Now at 2 plus-years and counting, I’ve literally rolled back my health age by at least seven, if not ten years. I’m not sure where those numbers came from but I literally feel it. There’s just an overall feel good sense in me. I find it in my energy, balance and sleep (no more sleep aid). I’m lighter on my feet, lost weight, and shed the stress of a demanding work-day with ease. I should add my family and friends have positive comments on my changes, too, and a family member is now a member at the Albuquerque Center.

Dahn Yoga surprised me!

Roy, Libertyville center, IL

I have been interested in yoga and martial arts for a long time. When I took the Dahn Yoga class at the Libertyville location I was pleasantly surprised to find that it combined stretching, dynamic meditation and energy work in one class. I have improved my flexibility, core strength and internal focus. I have more emotional stability and I learned to open myself and become more outgoing and friendly to other people in an easy and natural way. I realized I am just like everybody else. I like that it's not too serious, it's fun and yet it's a good workout. You get to laugh and change your mood.
