Dahn Yoga recognizes how much mothers matter

By offering family-based meditation and yoga classes for kids and adults, Dahn Yoga goes the extra mile for the deeply set bond that kin makes possible. However, this is not the only way that children and parents benefit from turning to the holistic mind-body system. In honor of Mother's Day – which is on May 8th, so mark your calendars – Dahn Yoga is making a Mother's Month Special Offer.

Since a mother does more than anyone else to make your life cheerful, content and peaceful, Dahn Yoga and Health Centers has made it clear that it thinks moms deserve a whole month of special treatment. With that in mind, all mothers will receive 10 percent off a new membership during the month of May.

Whether a women's maternal duties constantly keep her on the move or she merely finds herself feeling stressed and anxious, classes in yoga, tai chi, meditation and body tapping can help her release some of the tension that collects along the body's energy corridors.

As far as Dahn Yoga is concerned, there are 31 Mother's Days in May this year, and moms of all ages should consider taking advantage.

As it has for decades, this year Dahn Yoga cares for the Earth

In the pursuit of good health, it can be easy to put one's own well-being before that of the community, the nation or the planet. However, individuals who participate in Dahn Yoga strive to think of themselves as part of an interconnected whole, which is one reason that this year they are proving Dahn Yoga cares for the Earth.

In recognition of Earth Day, Dahn Yoga and Health Centers kicked off its "Reach for the Earth!" celebration. This year, the annual festivity was an international day of action and discussion, all of which were directed at helping to heal the planet in some way.

Besides volunteering in community-based environmental activities, Dahn Yoga enthusiasts across the nation engaged in meditation, tai chi, posing and stretching as a way to realize the true potential of the self.

In this way, those who have unlocked their dormant but powerful capabilities may be able to do more for those around them, as well as for Mother Earth herself.

By choosing Dahn Yoga, individuals of all ages, body types and backgrounds can come together and combine their collective personal strengths, resulting in a magnification of the healing energy and vitality within us all.

Brain wave vibration offers stress relief, research says

When exercise falls short of healing the body and soothing the mind, Dahn Yoga brain wave vibration may be able to help. Recent research conducted at the Seoul National University College of Medicine, Korea, has found that such a moving meditation system may contribute significantly to stress relief and feelings of positivity.

The study, which appears in the journal Neuroscience Letters, analyzed the blood levels of stress hormones in a group of healthy participants, half of whom regularly engaged in Dahn Yoga brain wave vibration.

This mind-body relaxation system is, in essence, a blend of meditation, tai chi and yoga that allows practitioners to focus on reconnecting their mental energy with their physicality.

"Mind–body training…is known to facilitate the process by which the negative thoughts that generate negative brain waves change into positive thoughts that generate positive brain waves," the team specified.

Researchers found that adults who participated in this system of meditation-in-motion had higher levels of dopamine – a hormone associated with pleasure and reward – in their blood. Likewise, they had lower blood pressure and overall reported stress.

These results suggest that yoga, meditation, stretching, tai chi or a combination of these activities can lead to stress relief and serenity in those who practice them regularly, researchers concluded.
