Today, the Dahn Yoga community has grown to include thousands of satisfied adults, children and whole families. Its classes are offered in dozens of centers throughout the nation.
Countless yoga systems exists throughout the U.S., but few have enjoyed as meteoric a rise and as long-lasting a success as that of Dahn Yoga and Health Centers, which celebrated its 15th anniversary on June 18.
The practice itself has existed since 1980, when a medical professional began teaching yoga to a stroke victim in a South Korean public park. Unlike other types of the holistic practice, this form of yoga was different.
It accentuated the connection between mind and body, allowed practitioners to redirect the flow of their inner energy – known as Ki – and consisted of simple poses, stretches and meditative exercises that anyone can do.
This practice became known as Dahn Yoga, "Dahn" being Korean for "energy." It quickly spread throughout its home country and, later, across the U.S., where it was formally incorporated on June 18, 1996.
Today, the Dahn Yoga community has grown to include thousands of satisfied adults, children and whole families. Its classes are offered in dozens of centers throughout the nation.
For those who are looking for an effective holistic health routine, or who simply would like to reconnect with their community, Dahn Yoga offers classes and membership packages for people of all ages.
