At 65, Now I'm Alive!
Annie, Chatsworth center, CA
It was a cold blustery evening in early November 2010 that I first discovered Dahn Yoga. I was on my way to pick up dinner for me and my husband when I had to park in front of a Body + Brain Holistic Yoga center since there were no parking spaces available near the restaurant. I am pre-diabetic and was told by my doctor that I had to lose weight and get some exercise. I knew that gyms, running, lifting weights, or working out in crowded places was not for me. So when I saw a soft light in the center window, I decided to go and speak to the woman I saw inside. The minute I opened the door, I was surrounded by a sense of serenity and peace. The owner of this Chatsworth, CA center, Marina Kachko, greeted me with a big happy smile and her openness and loving energy were exactly what I needed. I had taken yoga classes before over the years, but I had never experienced anything like Dahn Yoga. Since that first meeting, I have awakened my body in ways I never dreamed possible and my body consciousness has expanded tremendously. I am more aware of what I feed my body and how I treat it. I have feeling in my toes once again and I am slowly beginning to lose weight. I am more balanced and much less stressed. I feel an aliveness I haven’t felt for many years. At 65 years of age, I never dreamed that I could feel so youthful, proving to me that age is truly a state of mind and body.
