Ten years before I joined Dahn, I would feel sick with a headache for a couple of days whenever I do physical exercises. So by the time I found Dahn Yoga, I felt miserable physically and was very frustrated mentally, my body seemed to be falling apart, my stress level was extremely high and I have no energy at all.

I started out with a trial class at the Dahn center. During breathing relaxation, I felt as if I did not know how to breathe and I was almost gasping for air. The trainer helped to release the tension and calm me down, and for a brief moment I was actually meditating. I knew then, Dahn was the place for me

At the beginning I was reserved and a typical bystander. Slowly I got more involved and became a teaching assistant, my energy and outlook began to change. I began to feel peaceful and happy and very energetic. I was often asked to stretch to my limit and brought out talents that I never knew I had. I stopped my medication for allergy, a chronic struggle that had been with me for half of my life. I no longer need to use artificial tear drops for my dry eyes. All my physical ailments just miraculously disappeared. Friends and co-workers noticed that I was always smiling and looking younger all the time. After I introduced Dahn Yoga to them, they too changed. At work, we became a happy and supportive group with laughter and occasional parties. My whole family now goes to Dahn yoga, it took a long time to convince my husband, but now he goes there willingly without any coaching from me.

Through the many programs and workshops I attended, I grew stronger internally; though I still have ups and downs, I know that my inner core is full of love and joy. Whenever I have any struggles now, I would reach deep down into myself, and find the love and support from within to face and workout my problems. Through helping out at the center with teaching and helping members, I can feel my heart reaching out with love, hope and compassion.

I took the Brain Respiration training 2 years ago and volunteered with others to each BR to children at a school for one year and I can see how powerful this program is. I strongly believe that world peace lies with our children. If we raise their consciousness, world peace will come naturally and automatically.

Recently I took the Dahn Healing Martial Art workshop which was an amazing training. After the training, tension was released from my muscles; I can actually feel the inside of my whole back. I never feel the body this way. It gives me a renewed sense of love and respect for myself: my body, my mind and spirit as a whole. There is this immense joy of being alive in every sense, life is just so beautiful.

I hope everyone can experience the peace and happiness that I have been enjoying at Dahn and the warmth and kindness of the Dahn masters for the past 7 years.
