Dahn yoga
I have become really interested in this new form of Yoga that I found. I was searching the web about a month ago after taking my first yoga class. It was an Ashtanga Yoga class which the teacher kept calling power yoga and warrior Yoga. The class was just a beginner class and was actually quite hard because I am not a very flexible person and the teacher acted as if everyone in the room was a gymnast or a world's strongest man. By the end of the class I felt totally exhausted and didn't really want to come back to that style of class right away. What really peaked my interest in Yoga were the few moments during the class when I felt as if I had really been able to go within. For a few brief moments I was focused on a pose and let my body to itself and took my consciousness in to the deepest part of myself. I had done meditation plenty of times before that class and so I felt that what I had been doing was just this. I had never thought that you could combine meditation and Yoga exercises at the same time to make such a strong and stable mental product. After that taste I went online to see what other classes or workshops were being offered this summer. I didn't find anything close or any classes in town that were of any interest to me. When I stumbled upon the Dahn Yoga web site I became really interested. Dahn Yoga is a style of Yoga that comes from Korea and now exists in many countries around the world. I didn't see any centers that were close to us so I bought the introductory DVD and have been watching that every day. Now I almost have to whole video memorized from front to back and have begun to do the exercises without the aid of the video. The most interesting part of the whole thing is that I have actually started to notice some of the changes in myself that they say at the beginning will begin to appear in you life after long term practice like a constantly flowering breath cycle apparent in myself.
