Shed more than 70 pounds
"Last June I was unhappy, physically weak, and obese. I had been putting barriers around myself for years to keep the world at a distance.
The added weight had weakened my body and was eating away at my emotional well-being. The increase in my size caused my balance to change. This caused some injuries to my knee and shoulder. I was harming myself. I knew I needed to change.
Dahn Yoga has given me the tools to change myself, and it's up to me to make these changes.
During the past year, I have gained a strong, fit body and shed more than 70 pounds. I have lots of energy, more confidence, better concentration, and more emotional strength. Each workshop and program I have attended has benefited me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I gain so much from each program. Through support from the teachers, members, attending regular classes, and special workshops, I've been through a wonderful transformation!
One of the best bonuses is that I have found myself. Buried deep within me is this person who I always was. I'm so happy and grateful that I have discovered her! I'm having so much fun!"
