• Dahn Yoga tip: Focus on Yourself

    Without a goal, we have no choice but to endlessly chase after the thoughts of others. We envy those who know more or have more than we do, and we live out our lives completely forgetting our own brains. Such things happen to us often unless we are focused on ourselves. - Dahn Yoga

    Feel your body!

    Friday, November 9th, 2007

    I’m constantly fascinated about the many reasons and implications for connecting your body and your brain. You may hear a Dahn Instructor say, “Feel your body!” many times in any given class (or maybe a particular part of your body). Now think of all the things you can do if you feel your body! Here’s […]

    Yoga’s spiritual side

    Thursday, November 8th, 2007

    Today a very active woman who only comes to Boston once in a while came to my class. She had taken the class a couple times last spring and has a small class card to the center. Although she plays tennis, used to run every day, took Kundalini teacher training, and takes a Kripalu style […]

    yoga & the brain

    Monday, November 5th, 2007

    If you have been around the Dahn Yoga websites and centers, you may have seen a lot of writing and talking about the brain. This may not seem strange considering that yoga is a mind and body practice. But maybe most yoga practices don’t talk about the brain specifically so much.
    That’s where Dahn Yoga is […]

    Dahn Yoga on Sunday

    Sunday, November 4th, 2007

    I went to the Dahn Yoga center.  There weren’t many people because it’s Sunday.  I was able to focus on myself more with the calm atmosphere.  The teacher kindly allowed me to use the music and the training room.
    I took several postures and felt very good.  Relaxation.  Nothingness.  Here and now.  Life should be that simple.  Don’t worry.  […]
