It includes gentle stretches, guided breathing, deep relaxation, and energy training. But Dahn Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis doesn’t just focus only on the physical; it also teaches MS patients how to reduce their stress and how to gain mental focus, both of which are pivotal to fighting the effects of MS and similar conditions such as: * arthritis * Parkinson’s disease * diabetes * fibromyalgia * lupus * recovery from surgery This DVD will help you: * Develop your inner core for strength and centeredness * Discover the secret of emotional control and sustained focus * Tap into your body’s innate healing power for total revitalization * Reduce muscle pain, spasticity, and fatigue while boosting your energy, managing your stress, and more! The step-by-step MS yoga program on this DVD is primarily taught by certified Dahn Yoga instructor Dawn Quaresima. The DVD also features interviews with MS patients who have practiced Dahn Yoga. In addition to the basics of Dahn Yoga, both MS patients and other viewers will learn how to utilize sitting, standing, and floor positions, how to gain energy through simple breathing techniques, and how to quiet the mind for meditation. This DVD was inspired by Cathy Downie, who began taking Dahn Yoga in 2005 and quickly discovered its healing effects as her MS symptoms, including fatigue and pain, began to lessen considerably. Working with both the MS Society and the non-profit Dahn Foundation, she began teaching Dahn Yoga classes to MS patients, which eventually culminated in her helping to develop this instructional DVD.

Dahn Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis and Similar Conditions

Doctors say that they can treat only 20% of the problems that patients bring to them. As for the other 80%, in most cases, the problems can be traced to excessive stress. This all-too-common aspect of modern life causes a profusion of physical and emotional conditions. High stress is likely to be involved in contributing to the 20% that doctors can treat.

Is there a solution to dealing with the 80%? For many people in the United States and worldwide, the answer is Dahn Yoga & Health Centers , a holistic health fitness system based on Brain Education, developed by Ilchi Lee.

The power of Dahn Yoga to help when people are not aging well, with a variety of major and minor, temporary and persistent, physical and mental (and even life purpose and inner peace) problems is exemplified by the case of Julie, in her early 60s and living in the Northeast. She has practiced Dahn Yoga for seven years.

Ten years before she joined a Dahn Yoga center, Julie’s health was at low ebb. This is how she described it, “I would feel sick with a headache for days whenever I did physical exercises. So by the time I found Dahn, I felt miserable and frustrated, my body seemed to be falling apart, my stress level was extremely high, and my energy level was nonexistent.”

For many people starting Dahn Yoga, there is a moment when they realize that they have found a healing home. As Julie explained hers, “I started out with a trial class at the Dahn Yoga center. During the deep breathing relaxation part of the regular class, I felt as if I did not know how to breathe. I was almost gasping for air. The gentle instructor helped to release my body’s tension and calm me down. Then for a brief moment I was actually meditating. At that moment, I knew that Dahn Yoga was the right place for me.”

The majority of members who stay with Dahn Yoga make steady and sometimes quite amazing progress. Julie tells her story, “At the beginning, I was reserved and a typical bystander. Slowly I got more involved and became a teaching assistant. My energy and outlook started to change. I began to feel peaceful, happy and very energetic. I was often asked by the Dahn Yoga instructors to stretch to my limit, which brought out talents that I never suspected that I possessed. 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 teardrops for my dry eyes. Virtually all my physical ailments just miraculously disappeared.”

Typically, highly satisfied Dahn Yoga members share their positive experience with their family, friends and acquaintances. According to Julie, “My friends and co-workers noticed that I was always smiling and looking younger. After I introduced Dahn Yoga to them and they joined a center, they too changed for the better. At work, we Dahn Yoga members became a happy supportive group, known for our frequent laughter and occasional parties. My whole family now practices Dahn Yoga. While it took a long time for my husband to be convinced that Dahn Yoga might benefit him, now he goes there willingly, without any coaching from me.”

Besides the physical improvements attributable to Dahn Yoga practice, members usually feel an elevation of their self-confidence and self-esteem. This happened with Julie, “Through the many programs and workshops that I attended, I grew stronger internally. Although I still have ups and downs, I know that my inner core is full of love and joy. Whenever I have struggles these days, I reach deep down into myself, and find the love and support within to face and work out my problems. Through volunteering at my Dahn Yoga center with teaching classes and supporting members, I can feel my heart reaching out to them with love, hope and compassion.

“I completed a DahnMuDo Healing Martial Art workshop which was a profound training for me at my age. After the workshop, my tension was released from my muscles; I can actually feel the inside of my whole back; I had never felt my body in this way. It gives me a renewed sense of love and respect for myself – my body, my mind and spirit as a whole. Now I have a daily feeling of immense joy in being alive in every sense. Life is just so beautiful!”

Through 600 Dahn Yoga centers worldwide – currently in the United States, Canada, South Korea, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and Brazil), around 1,000,000 people use its methods daily. In the U.S. since 1991, 120 Dahn Yoga centers can be found in 15 metropolitan areas.

Dahn Yoga centers offers many programs and methods for people’s health and growth. The more of these that they use, the greater can be their progress in achieving a life of health, happiness and peace

Dahn Yoga Essentials, a new 90-minute Dahn Yoga workout DVD designed to create healthy ki (chi) energy flow in the body and restore one to optimal health, has recently been released by BEST Life Media, an independent publishing company in Sedona, Arizona. Now the deep stretching, meditative breathing, and energy awareness exercises taught in nearly 1000 Dahn Yoga centers worldwide can be learned and practiced in your own home. Dahn Yoga is a rapidly-growing holistic health program with roots in the traditional mind-body practices of Korea. These ancient exercises were modernized by South Korea native Ilchi Lee in the early 1980s to incorporate modern scientific understanding of mind-body health and to be easily practiced by most people. Unlike many styles of yoga, Dahn Yoga (www.dahnyoga.com) is based on the meridian system of Oriental medicine and focuses on creating correct and healthy ki (chi) energy flow in the body. In fact, the word Dahn means primal life energy, something practitioners learn to sense and control. According to Oriental medical philosophy, when the body is full of ki energy that circulates properly, the body, mind, and spirit all have optimal health. In addition to the main program, Dahn Yoga Essentials includes additional techniques that are distinctive and central to Dahn Yoga classes. Dahn Yoga Energy Breathing consists of five breathing and core-strengthening postures that are known to stretch, straighten, and center the body and mind. Brain Wave …

Courses in yoga, the union of body and mind, continue to increase in popularity in the United States. Many different yoga systems are available, although they usually share the features of stretching, posture, breathing, relaxation and meditation.

While most Americans think of yoga as coming the Indian cultural or Hindu traditions, there is a yoga with more-than-5,000-year-old roots in Korea, In its modernized holistic fitness training version, 30 years old, it is called Dahn Yoga and can be learned and practiced at the 120 Dahn Yoga & Health Centers in 15 metropolitan areas of the U.S. Sister Dahn organizations operate in Canada, South Korea, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and Brazil. Worldwide, there are 600 centers, with around 1,000,000 people using Dahn Yoga and related Brain Education methods daily. The originator of Dahn Yoga is Ilchi Lee.

Dahn Yoga is an integrated body-mind-brain system of exercises for improving the body’s health, the mind’s capability, and the spirit’s connection. From practicing Dahn Yoga, the results tend to be individual health. But it is natural for Dahn Yoga practitioners to share what they have learned, directly or indirectly, with others – family, friends, workplace, and community.

Here is a prime example of the dual set of benefits – self and others – that Dahn Yoga often produces: Linda is in her early 50s, a school teacher in the Midwest. She started to exercise at a Dahn Yoga Center in the Midwest, originally becoming a member to make her middle-aged body more flexible. But soon she found out that Dahn gave her many more benefits.

As Linda put it, “In the first year of practicing Dahn Yoga regularly, m life changed completely. Yes, I achieved my original goal – my body became more flexible. But in addition my overall health condition improved a great deal. Specifically, my headaches disappeared and my lower back stopped aching. My body posture became straighter and my shoulders more relaxed. I was feeling happier too. When I did not feel pain, I was still able to concentrate better on the tasks I was doing. My concentration improved tremendously. Projects at home and work were completed faster and easier.”

With work often being the most stressful place in people’s lives, the positive effects of Dahn Yoga are usually observable there. This happened to Linda, who stated, “Being a schoolteacher exposes me to a lot of stressful situations. But after practicing Dahn Yoga, I became better able to handle even high stress levels around me. I have learned to choose my emotions and am no longer overtaken by them. My reactions have changed. I am quieter and calmer. The relaxation techniques taught at Dahn Yoga have helped me to become a better teacher, co-worker, friend and family member.”

As if these individual benefits from doing Dahn Yoga were not enough, people like Linda often report that they feel compelled to share their new health and well being with others. For Linda as a school teacher, this meant to teach selected Dahn Yoga exercises to her students. As she explained, “I began teaching my students (6th and 7th graders) to have good posture and relax their bodies. Before class or tests, we would do a few minutes of exercises and their concentration is improved. Since doing these Dahn Yoga exercises, my students’ performance went up remarkably. I have taught my students to use more of their brain potential, which is more possible after they relax their bodies by doing Dahn Yoga techniques. Their confidence levels have increased as they were able to perform successfully after doing the Dahn Yoga exercises, many of them for the first time in their lives.”

Seeing in the workplace the positive results generated by everyone practicing Dahn Yoga can in turn elevate the self-confident and self-esteem of the instructor. According to Linda, “My confidence level was raised from sharing Dahn Yoga exercises with students and colleagues. I started much more to believe in myself. Speaking in public was always a challenge for me. Since practicing Dahn Yoga, my speaking anxiety has disappeared. I now actually enjoy public speaking because by sharing my experience I can help others. I have more to offer my students now that I have been doing Dahn Yoga. I have become a much better teacher.”

Another aspect of life that emerges for many Dahn Yoga practitioners is that they want to give more to the community. In Linda’s case, this led her to a unique volunteering experience. As she expresses it, “I am teaching Dahn Yoga exercises to developmentally disabled adults, as part of an outreach program organized by the nonprofit Dahn Foundation. This is a very rewarding personal experience. It feels good to share Dahn Yoga methods in order to add to people’s health and happiness. I have found something that I will continue to do when I retire – teach Dahn Yoga and spread health, happiness and peace to other people. Thanks to Dahn Yoga training, I have truly found my life purpose.”
