I’ve been going to Dahn classes since September and far from having injured myself, I’ve actually healed all those old injuries and regained most of the flexibility I used to have as a dancer.

All the masters and instructors I’ve met have been more than friendly–they really do care about the members’ growth and well-being.

As far as money, I’ve never been coerced to spend any amount of money on training, nor been ignored by the instructors after saying no to something. I did attend the BMC training in Sedona, and if I’d known in advance that I would come out with the body and mind of an energetic, idealistic 23-year-old (after having gone in as a disgruntled, depressed 33-year-old with little hope for the future) after just five days of training, I wouldn’t have blinked an eye at the cost.

I could have easily gotten a prescription for Prozac instead, but I’d rather deal with the root causes of my problems than try to medicate a symptom.

All the negative media attention hasn’t really dampened my desire to keep going. When you’re finally in the right place after having been in the wrong place for so many years, every cell of your body knows it. It’s a shame our society runs on the engine of fear and keeping people disconnected from their real selves and their humanity.

One last thing, about the brainwashing allegations…hmmm.

1. CNN and Rolling Stone are media entities.
2. The media make their money by selling advertising.
3. Advertising is DESIGNED specifically to influence people’s minds and change their behavior (in this case make them buy stuff).

If that’s not brainwashing, I don’t know what is.

I once read that “discipline” is the definingcharacteristic of our era in determining Survivval of the
Fittest, since everything is available to us to choose 24 hrs. a day seven days a week. Internal controls must be strengthened to exercise self-discipline. The core work training of Dahn Yoga has helped me to continue to strengthen my innter voice which alwaysspeaks to a higher self, and I am grateful to those who continue to help me to be a better person to myself and for others.

After trying 8 different Yoga practices that I could not keep up with, or even do, I finally found Dahn Yoga. I signed up for one month and went to class everyday, and also had some personal training classes with the instructor to help advance the healing process.

I feel I now have the tools to live a better and pain free life!!

In a few words, I can say that Dahn Yoga saved my life!!

I am 60 years old and feel like I am 30 years old again! I feel I became a better listener, a more understanding person and a much better perso that loves to live again!!

I can say I do not believe that Dahn Yoga is a cult because I have never noticed or been told anything like that. The bowing simply makes me more centered, focused and flexible. Yes, I have spent a few thousand dollars in the five years, for special training. I have also been to Mago Gardens in Sedona, Arizona, and it was worth every penney, and it was my choice!!

I can’t believe CNN is presenting such sensational and negative, false information without truly investigating and knowing the truth!!

It is sad that misinformation and sensationalism might detract from the good work that is being done by Dahn Yoga and the huge benefits that are being enjoyed by so many.

I joined Dahn Yoga with soaring blood pressure, chronic pain in my back and shoulders and compacted discs in my neck. I was stressed, frustrated with myself and others, working too hard, yet unproductive and underachieving. Very early in my practice with Dahn Yoga, as I felt huge benefits to my health, wellbeing and outlook on life, I realized that this practice needed to be spread widely and brought to people everywhere. My particular passion was to reduce the stress of the corporate world, something I had been struggling with myself for over 25 years.

I chose to shift gears in my life and set up a consulting business which would also allow me to assist in the development of programs for worksite wellness. I had a vision that I could have a center of my own, associated with Dahn Yoga that I would run as a business, offering programs for children and adults based on Brain Education. When the concept of Body & Brain Center was introduced and I jumped at it. Leaving a high income and well respected Management Consulting position behind was not a decision to be taken lightly, but for my health and for my heart the decision was easy. Once I chose to put all my efforts into opening my center, things just fell into place and moved very quickly. It was as though the world had been waiting for me.

I opened my center on March 30, 2009 and I am loving every minute of it. I have to pinch myself to be sure that I am really living this way – making an income from doing something that is a joyous pleasure, that is helping people to be healthier, happier and more peaceful. I can see my members experiencing such relief and growing stronger by the day. Ancient eastern practices supported by modern western science has created a very effective program of Body, Brain and Mind healing.

After 25 years in the corporate world, I am now able to give back to society in a way that directly benefits the community. I can use my years of Project Management and Change Management experience, working together with my members on projects that will help children, teens and disadvantaged people create a better life for themselves.

I am grateful for Dahn Yoga’s wonderful holistic approach and the powerful programs inspired by Ilchi Lee, for the grounded enlightenment and for the ongoing support that has helped me through challenging times. As a franchise owner, I have the benefits of being connected to the energy of a great loving community as well as the independence of running my own business.

I feel huge hope for reaching out and teaching people simple techniqies for managing their lives more effectively, bringing themselves peace, less stress in their families and workplaces, the society around us and ultimately everywhere.
