I think that Yeon-Dahn has helped me with my yoga practice. The two have worked together. Yeon-Dahn is more social, my goal with Dahn Yoga has been to experience traditional postures in a classroom session with other people. Before joining the Dahn Center I felt blocked physically and emotionally even though I was still practicing yoga on my own. Being taught Yeon-Dahn over the years in a classroom has enabled me to reach a goal in solitary Indian meditation that I had been trying for decades to achieve. When I first started taking classes sleeping tiger was only done on Fridays and the classes were fun but not very demanding. Then it became a daily practice and the classes became valuable because I was constantly encouraged to push against my limitations. Thank you DY for this gift, it has been worth the effort.

I love doing yeon -dahn!!! Absolutely love it! I do my own yeon-dahn training in addition to my bowing/praying meditation at home. My core /center is so much stronger than ever. I have more focus and more energy

And no, they don’t FORCE you to do these trainings. You go at your own pace. They encourage you to do your best and try to overcome your own limits little by little, your choice.

I made my choice and I don’t regret it one bit.

In 2008, I had surgery on my right foot and a month later I broke it in another place. As a result of the surgery and the second break, I had been off the foot for 4 months. Atrophy had set in my right leg, ankle and foot. Since I could not walk, I began doing Yeon Dahn (sleeping tiger) every day. I started out only doing ten minutes a day, and worked myself up to an hour within 3 weeks. After two weeks of doing Yeon Dahn, I could walk very slowly without the surgical boot or crutches. Through the Yeon Dahn, I able to build my strength back and get the energy circulating in my leg again. Yeon Dahn also helped me to remain confident during the healing process.

Yeondahn, Is my most favorite practice that we do at Dahn yoga. I am sure other yoga traditions have similar practices but I did not experience before coming to Dahn. Isn’t it great to be able to sweat so much just being still. While I am holding a posture I can watch many things about myself.

I can watch where the weak parts and strong parts are. I can see how my mind wants to give up and thinks that I can not do something, which in fact I can. I can watch myself get stronger as I get older. I can watch how my mind tries to find lot’s of dramatic excuses not to keep going. But the best part is how quiet and calm my mind feels when I am finished.

I was assisting in a workshop that one of my students was attending several years ago. While the members were holding a very difficult posture, the instructor said “You will never die form this posture” My student began to laugh and laugh out loud. He shared later that statement really helped him to realize how silly and dramatic it to be thinking he could not do this when in fact there he was doing it. He still appreciated that moment now.

I practice Yeondahn as often as I can in my morning practice.

Yeon Dahn has helped me to gain more energy, be more alert and focused, and also strenghten my core muscles and energy Centers. I am grateful that I can train my physical body as well as my energy and mind all at the same time. I have found that Yeon Dahn training has helped with coordination and mindfullness for other activities too. I have shared it with athletes, dancers and comedians, all with very positive reports on how well it enhances their own performances. Yeon Dahn is a completely different concept than just exercise. After a gym workout, one usually feels tired or drained. But after Yeon Dahn, even though one will get a great physical workout, you will feel energized, centered and have more endurance.
Thank you to Ilchi Lee for sharing this great tool!

Before I joined Dahn Yoga, I went to the hopsital every day after work even though I was very good at all kinds of sports. I tried Yeon-dahn training with some members after the regular class. After 21 days we decided to do for 100days because we realized how helpful it is to energy body, not to speak of physical body. Everytime it was hard and everyone got wet. But they loved it!!!! Do you know how good it is? You can’t tell before you experience. It is much much better than staying in a sauna for an hour. Once you like it, you can’t stop.

I feel so stable and balanced in my mind and body when I practice yeon dahn dilligently.
This morning I actually fell asleep for the last 10 minutes of the 30 minutes time I was holding the yeon dahn posture! I was so suprised! And I felt so great afterward.
