![]() This is obviously untrue, as we can see that there are people who have chosen to leave the business and people who have chosen to stay. The people who make such negative statements about Dahn Yoga and its founder are, in effect, basically saying that the many employees and practitioners are idiots incapable of making their own choices. I have been happily employed by Dahn Yoga for almost ten years, and I do not appreciate the slanderous and untrue comments made by various people who really don’t know what they’re talking about, and some who are being intentionally malicious and misleading. There is no loving or positive energy that runs through that organization. My experience of that place is that their so-called Masters walk a path of darkness, obsessiveness, selfishness, spitefullness, vengeance. Intent & willfulness is what makes people either walk in the path of enlightenment or darkness. I am slamming the intent of the so called Masters of that place. May he & that organization get what’s coming to them. To me, that’s nothing but another controlling, obsessive, egotistical, piece of crap that doesn’t belong to walk free. When I accused the Korean so-called Master healer that became obsessed with me of sexual abuse & they became vindictive & spiteful under the guise of love & so called good under a non-profit status. They don’t practice anything except control in whatever way possible. They do not practice yoga, positivity, or enlightenment. For me, the Dahn center ruined 20 years of my life financially, health wise. ![]() I have to disagree with some of these posts. The comments and responses to this post are not necessarily a reflection of the opinions of Just Breathe Tai Chi. It is important to find a style that you resonate with and is right for your body and mind. There are many styles and teaching methods of Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong. *Note: this post was published in 2009 as a reply to an article published in the local news in 2009. You will find someone who is right for you. ![]() If you feel uncomfortable with a practice, style mentality, or instructor, seek out different options. Stick with the practice that is right for you, your health, your well-being, and your spirit. Different people are drawn to different styles and forms. My advice…Find an instructor that you like, a location and time that is convenient, balance that with the investment you are able to make to take the classes, and a style that suits you. Workshops and special training are often higher as well. Some instructors also teach by donation and personal one-on-one instruction is, of course, a higher fee. This depends sometimes on the experience of the instructor, the location, what the instructor has to pay for space-use, if you register for a multi-week session or drop-in, technology investments, and various other things. To give readers an idea of what to expect to pay for internal arts classes (Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, Meditation, etc) in the Northern VA area-as well as online-I have noticed group classes being offered anywhere from $8 to $25 per one-hour class per person on average. My response is to inform that while the internal arts such as Yoga, Chi Kung (Chi Gong, Qigong), and Tai Chi (Taiji) can be a spiritual practice, it is not religion-based, nor is it by nature a cult.Īs an instructor, we put in many hours and invest considerable time and money in training for ourselves and yes, we do deserve to command a reasonable investment for the classes we offer, but gathering extreme amounts of money and taking advantage of students and creating “followers of your cause” is not Yoga. Some newcomers do express concern as to the religious affiliation of the internal arts. Speaking to people in this area-drawing from the Springfield, Fairfax, Burke, Chantilly, Centreville, Herndon, Reston, Manassas areas here in Virginia-I am pleased to know how many people are familiar with Yoga. Yoga is a mind-body, physical, as well as spiritual practice focusing on breath control (Pranayama) while holding or flowing through poses (asanas). Teaching and practicing Yoga in such a diverse area as Northern Virginia offers many forms and varieties of Yoga styles such as Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and others. ![]() The latest news* regarding Dahn Yoga and its cult accusations is disturbing to me as I do not desire to see a shadow cast upon the Yoga community here in Northern VA, or anywhere else for that matter.
