Dahn Yoga - Yoga for the Soul
from: Martin HaworthNowadays, yoga is widespread and is new forms are continuously
being developed today. Millions of people around the world enjoy
yoga every day or week, depending on circumstances into this
activity.
Of the so many forms of Yoga, Hatha yoga is by far the most
common form, which involves both breathing control, physical
exercise and postures combined. These exercises allow optimized
blood circulation and improves flexibility, stamina, strength
and vitality.
It is also a form of peaceful mediation that contributes to
self-awareness and gives an extra energy that creates general
wellbeing.
It should be easy to locate somewhere to practice your yoga as
there are centers in most cities in the Western world. If you
prefer, there are plenty of ways to enjoy yoga at home. With
books, DVDs or videos to suit your need.
Aside from Hatha Yoga, there exists another kind of Yoga. it is
known as Dahn Yoga.
It is also referred to as Dahn Hak or Dahnak. It started as an
early form of Korean instruction program that aimed to teach the
participants on how to expand and widen both the body and mind.
For hundreds of years it vanished only becoming resurrected in
the 80's in Seoul, finally arriving in the US in 1991.
Dahn yoga also educates participants on the principles and
concepts on how the energy acts or moves in the body. It also
teaches that ageing and weakening of the body is caused by
stress. And removing stress will, without doubt, improve health
and prolong life.
Dahn yoga works by encouraging those taking part to communicate
fully with their body, thus enriching their lives to the full.
Allied with the body's natural healing ability, this is enhanced
through stimulating energies that connect the physical body to
the conscious mind.
Through deep stretching, breathing methods and meditation, Dahn
Yoga promotes physical, mental, and spiritual healing and to
connect us into our spiritual selves. It promotes body
relaxation and the discovery of inner consciousness.
It gives a life away and free from stress and anxiety and a life
which has self-control and enhanced concentration.
Through meditation and breath work, energy is accumulated in the
body and as a result, functioning of the internal organs and
systems in the body is enhanced.
With the integration of the body and mind, latent abilities are
realized and goals set are more easily achieved. In addition,
Dahn Yoga practitioners sometimes volunteer to teach and train
without payment, promoting individual and community health,
well-being, happiness and peace.
