This is a phrase that Dahn Yoga practitioners aroung the world speak with great enthusiasm.
The training techniques of Dahn Yoga are designed to develop mastership of the body and mind through the medium of energy, which is the means of communication between the body and mind.
Through this process, one comes to understand experientially the true meaning of “My body is not me, but mine.”
One of the most simple and effective concepts in Dahn Yoga is the idea of “Breath.” All living beings breathe. It is necessary for survival on this planet. However, it is taken for granted by most people. Few people pay attention to their breathing. But the quality of the breath has great implications for the health of our mind and body.
Through the experiential understanding of the breath achieved in Dahn training, the connection between mind-body communication and the breath becomes more apparent.
Dahn Yoga is not a theory, but a practical way of life. Include Dahn Yoga as part of your daily practice and stick with it so you can experience its full benefit.
Ilchi Lee, Founder of Dahn Yoga

Sometimes, I go through hours of my day with a tight, stuffy feeling in my chest, until I stop to realize that I am holding more of my breath in than letting go. When I finally let out a conscious exhale, I remember my Dahn training and how simple it is to return to the breath as Ilchi Lee emphasizes in his training methods.
