Comment on Dahn Yoga and Hatha Yoga: What is the Difference? by Michelle

As I understand it, Dahn means “energy”. For me it really has been a practice of understanding energy running through my body and understanding the energy of the world. This practice has really allowed me to integrate my mind- body training in the center into my life. My friends and I always say Dahn Yoga is More Than Yoga!

First, thank you Jenny for posting what the difference is between Dahn yoga and Hatha yoga. Many people wonder and don’t know how to find the answer or describe it exactly. When I first started this yoga, I don’t know what exactly it was, but I could just feel something really positive about it. At first I could feel a lot of good changes in my body, my chronic headaches were disappearing, and I started to feel more confident and trusting of myself. It’s been over a year and a half since I started, and now I work at the center where I used to be a member. I’ve experienced a lot of changes, both in the myself and in the center, and through everything that’s happened, I’m really grateful that Dahn yoga has showed me how to make healthy choices for my life. It’s something that I’m always going to take with me no matter what I do.

it’s true dahn yoga isn’t “yoga” that us westerns perceive yoga to be.
“yoga” means union (of body & mind) and that’s what they teach there, just a different technique then the expected. they aren’t just teaching you stretching techniques they learned in a few months or even weeks(like most instructors i’ve encountered.in the end what they want to teach people is how to live a more fulfilling life. sometimes it may come off a bit pushy.. but i just think it’s a cultural difference

most of the instructors that teach the dahn form are from korea because it is from korea. i think that’s the key reason some people may feel “pressured” and all because of the cultural difference.

in my case i welcome it because even though it may seem “pushy” at first, in the end you end up thanking them. sometimes we all need a kick in the keester to get us going (especially me-i was sooo lazy before i started this practice). we just don’t like it when it goes beyond the comfort zone. but like i said, i welcome a bit of a culture & challenge (it’s good for my ego).

I’m actually not much of a minimalist; I like to have absolutely everything within arms reach because I work in a very helter skelter fashion. I keep stacks of papers, work, and books within reach at all times. I like to be buried and surrounded, and my productivity kicks up to a manic level!

I always keep a single pad of paper beside my desk with a pen tucked beside it. It generally helps me stay organized to be able to scribble thoughts as they occur to me or take notes on emails as they come in; it solidifies everything in my head.
