Dahn Yoga

Scary, Scam, Cult

I thought it was strange that I couldn't see or participate in one class before signing up and I had to go through an evaluation, and an orientation before going to class, but I signed up for one month, because it had a 72 hour cancellation anyway.

I have been to many, many yoga classes, and I actually taught yoga for a few years before I started a family.

The evaluation was very strange and painful, but I thought, hey, it's a different culture, be open minded etc., see a class before judging. The next night was my orientation, again very strange, but I hadn't seen a class yet, and I really wanted to get back into yoga. I went to my first class after orientation on the same night. This was extremely strange, scary, and cult like. Beating your stomach, beating your chest.

The next day I went in for my refund, it had been about 36 hours, remember I had 72. Well is was very difficult but he finally gave my refund minus the class I had attended and my orientation. There was nobody there and he kept saying he was too busy, and he had to call someone first. I explained I could call and there was nobody there and I wanted my refund. Do a search of Dahn Yoga before you go in there. There are many articles and news stories about it, that I wish I had looked at before going.

• Pros: location
• Cons: cult, scam

It's interesting to note that when you click on vortex_park's profile you find that vortex_park has been a member for 2 months, one year, 6 months and started because of a headache, then shoulder pain, then skin problems depending on which 'personality' you believe . Can anyone say 'false advertising?' Exercise and meditation are proven to be beneficial and there are many other traditional groups to choose from that don't employ the controversial methods and greedy sales pitches of the Dahn Hak organization. One session of beating my belly and screaming how much I love myself was enough for me. Disclaimer: They have been known to help some people.

• Pros: relaxing
• Cons: They seem to have a 'Secretive Ideology'
