My Dahn Yoga center was hosting a booth at local health fair, so I went to check out the fair and show my support.
The instructors did a couple of Dahn Mu Do performances and taught very short sample classes, and I was blown away by the attention they were able to draw! I didn’t notice at first, but once the Dahn Yoga instructors went up to the stage and changed the energy of the crowd right away, I was so striken by how much of a community they could create instantly through energy. I could see how the audience remained nothing but an audience — a removed speculator — with all the other performance groups, even if the performance required audience participation. However, once the Dahn Mu Do demo team was on stage, the crowd’s energy started gathering together, and when they moved into the sample Dahn Yoga class, the audience was much more deeply engaged and became a part of the experience.
Today I learned how unnatural it has become for people to communicate beyond the surface, but I also learned the power of communicating with energy to instantly break through that barrier. And I’m very grateful that I’ve found Dahn Yoga to help me practice living deeply connected to my community.
We all need a comfort zone.. we can rest and trust.. Dahn yoga center… is.
