Peace in family by Dahn Yoga

I wanted to take the time to express my gratitude for all that you and Dahn Yoga have give to me and my husband, Ross. We always look forward to going to class even if we are tired from a long day. We know that our energy will be better and we enjoy the exercises an

d the warmth and compassion we feel from you and the other students.

I have experienced much opening physically and emotionally that has allowed me to heal from old emotional wounds. We have both learned to be more authentic in our relationships and to allow each other the time and space necessary for our own spiritual development. Our communication with each other is deeper; we are willing to be more vulnerable.

We have been through the grieving of former relationships, become more appreciative of what we have together, and we made the decision to commit our lives to one another by getting engaged, and married. Now, we are blessed to be expecting our first child together.

Since beginning at your center, we have experienced:
• Good health
• Improved flexibility (especially Ross)
• Increased compassion toward others and ourselves
• Less attachment to the ego and its dramas
• As I experience my 4th month of pregnancy, I am thankful that I did not have serious morning sickness or nausea, and that my moods have been fairly balanced.

We truly appreciate the growing community of Dahn Yoga in Bay Area of California, and we especially appreciate the love, compassion, and energy you share with all of us, so that we may also pass it on!

Blessings and Love to you,
Katrina and Ross (Bay Area)

It was a delightful and memorable experience last week being introduced to your center.

I’ve practiced many forms of self-realization and physical condtioning modalities, but must report that the practices of the short 60 minute basic session made a “major” impact at reducing both mental and physical stress.

I had no appreciable pains or discomfort in the hours/days following, and the effects have carried over for almost a week now. I was impressed, particularly during my long drive home to Oregon as to how physically and mentally relaxed I found myself to be relative to previous return trips.

This is interesting in that I am physically active and understand and have long been (without prior Dahn-Yoga study) practicing the principles outlined by Ilchi Lee in his “Human Technology” book (which I read cover-to-cover the night you gave it to me.). I practice other forms of Yoga, Tai-chi, Kung-Foo, as well as sports activities, on a regular basis. And I have close personal friends who are professional “life-coaches” who are constantly keeping me directed toward “enlightenment and self-realization” through varous forms of meditation, breath-work, prayer, plus private and group “therapy” sessions. So I’ve had no lack of advice, encouragement, and action to develop at the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels … and have progressed much over the years. But Ilchi Lee seems to have done the best job of explaining and integrating concepts and practices to a form that best resonates with my being.

I continue to practice the warmups and other exercises as best I remember them. I did notice something strange… a slightly visible localized discoloring directly over my lower Dahn-Jon (Tan-Tien/ 2nd chakra) area. Yet other than than the “touch coaching” you adminsitered over that point to aid in adjusting my breathing, I have no explanation for the discoloration/bruising. True, I vigorously practiced the abdominal-clapping exercises… but only this one spot has a mark! Is this a commonly reported phenomena?

Looking forward to returning in couple weeks to continue my training and to get to know you better.

Appreciatively Yours,

David W.

It all started after Lyne & Sophie joined the Dahn Yoga Center in Mountain View in May 2006. We were enthusiastic members attending on a regular basis, 3 to 5 times a week. It initiated us in a peaceful state of mind and helped our mental, physical and spiritual health to evolve.

Soon Sophie convinced her Dad, Jean-Paul, to join in Sept. and one after the other, we took the Shim-Sung Training. Wow! What a powerful workshop.

We all noticed the changes within each other and complimented on how nice one has become. It seems that we all learned to acknowledge the existence of others around us, what they need and what they care for. We are nicer, more courteous and especially more connected to one another. The communication has become so much easier, caring and sharing have expanded between us. It seems that the routine exercises given at Dahn Yoga Center is supporting not only our physical flexibility but also our mental ones. We are all in together making things work instead of playing the solo most of the time. Before the Shim-Sung, we used to get upset at trivial things, but now we laugh so much more at anything and everything, nothing seems to matter and it’s with joy when we can share and be together.

Each of us looks at the Shim-Sung Training as a significant personal improvement which led to a harmonious family relationship.

Thank you Kim for leading us to a better life.

Lyne, Jean-Paul & Sophie
