A letter to CNN #15: REGISTERED NURSE ASKED CNN FULLY INVESTIGATE

Dear Ms. Janelle Rodriguez
cc: Richard Davis, Shirley Powell, and Jonathan Klein
I have been with Dahn Yoga since May of 2007. I have been an RN for 25 years. I credit Dahn Yoga with completely changing my life. I was suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic lower back pain and a nervous breakdown when I started with Dahn. I was looking for some type of holistic fitness and was very interested in learning Tai-chi. The instructors and masters i have net over the past 3years have been supportive and helpful\. The love and concern they have shown me through trainings, guidance, and private sessions, has changed my life. I no longer have fibromyalgia (per my neurologist in August of 09); no longer suffer from depression. I had been on 10 different medications. Now I take NO medication. I could barely move and had pain level of 10+ all the time. I am now very active, am able to do things I have never done before. I have hope in the future for myself, my family, my country and the world.
I am concerned that CNN has chosen to air “EXPOSE” depicting Dahn Yoga as a cult. I am curious about where you got the information you are basing your report on, also curious about whether you “Fully investigated” Dahn Yoga on are basing your report on negative information received from non-credible sources. Have you investigated the providers of this information? Have you verified any your information with people who are actually involved with Dahn Yoga? No one has asked me or anyone I know. I would encourage you to FULLY INVESTIGATE Dahn Yoga then rethink your expose.
