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
