(I recommend you experience various dahn class)

When I first started Dahn Yoga, almost two years ago, the first class that I attended was body vibrations. I enjoyed the class so much by being able to release tightness in my body and to let go of stress and bad emotions and all that bothered me and my body and knowing what it did for my body, and how great I felt afterwards, that I couldn’t wait to attend the next class, and then, every class after that. I am now a Lifetime Member. We might not always see immediate results but, but we should never give up hope, because there are no quick fixes in this life.

I do know that I have walked out of every Dahn Yoga Center class feeling happy and invigorated with a smile on my face. I am getting in fine tune with my body and in touch with myself. The fact is, that at the Dahn Yoga Center classes, I have learned to focus on myself and open up my blockages by releasing stagnant energy and getting rid of my stress, which I accumulate daily in my life, and to keep my mind at peace, along with the fun of the classes and additional special classes, and the sharing with each other our experiences on how we felt or what our body felt during class.

I am still working on healing myself, because there are no instant cures, and I am sure, it will take some time yet. So, I need to keep working at it and I am enjoying each moment and learning on my journey. I am 55 years of age, and I know the damage I have done to my body over the years, but I also know that I can help my body repair by opening up my energy valves and stretching my meridian channels and strengthening myself through perseverance, so that the quality of my life will get better. I did not say material life, but the quality of my physical, emotional and spiritual being, which is what I want and have always wanted as long as I can remember.

Anyway, I have found a peaceful mind and I have learned to let go of a lot of what’s happening outside me. It’s a continuing learning process, and I’m so happy and grateful to be able to learn, and that it’s not too late for me and is never too late for anyone.

I quit smoking and my one year anniversary of not smoking will be here in a few days. I am very happy because of it. In my mind though, I thought I would never be able to quit because I smoked for 38 years and so often I questioned myself for years on how would I quit smoking, how could I be in control, and fight those urges to smoke, and I did not want to take drugs to do it. I can’t say that it was easy, but with a lot of perseverance and peace of mind, along with the want for a better quality of life, I did quit, and am now a happy ex-smoker. I did not realize how much my body hurt until after I quit smoking, and how much of a drug smoking really is.

All that smoking did for me was cover-up my pain by causing more pain both physically and emotionally. I eventually realized through Dahn Yoga classes that I never really dealt with my pain or emotions, because my quick fix was to light up a cigarette and smoke my brains off. I have learned a lot through Dahn Yoga and my quality of life has changed and continues to change because that’s what I want. It’s my choice.

I have learned through Dahn Yoga to watch my body and to listen to my inner self. I guess you can say that after losing sight of myself after all these years, I am getting re-acquainted with the real me and loving myself and every moment. I do know that outside things and material things do not make me happy and never did, and that our true happiness comes from within, and so, as I continue to grow as a totally new human being, I am enjoying the air that I breathe, and am thankful for the ground that I walk on and all that is above.

I see and know my own growth by what I am experiencing within myself physically, emotionally and spiritually, that when I look outside myself, I know I am not happy that happiness comes from within, and even though I may have wrapped myself in a cocoon all my life, I am coming out of my cocoon, slowly but surely and continue to grow into what I know I was intended to be and do, and to share all I have learned with all who I encounter in my life on a daily basis. My smile is not just on the outside anymore, but also on the inside. I want a healthy body, happy heart and a power brain. It’s a choice and it is mine. My journey for the rest of my lifetime is to heal myself, my family and be able to touch a lot of other people in this world one person at a time.

I am very thankful for the opportunities with Dahn Yoga to have to continue my growth and am grateful to and for all the Masters and people I encounter. Keep growing there are no limitations!!!

Love Lucille.
