Karen’s journey down rocky roads and the way Dahn Yoga impacted her

December 8th, 2009 dahncenter

My name is Karen Beth Fox and I joined Dahn Yoga as a GOLD member in July 2007,a year after my mother passed away from Lung cancer, which was quite devistating for me!
I took care of my mother back then and I became quite large while taking care
of mom, as you can see in this picture of me! I battled weight problems all
my life, but NEVER as bad as when my best friend, MY MOM, became terminal! As
I’m guessing most of you know, weighing a lot makes you ill and have many health
problems, as I did, including a right hip replacement & brest cancer, but none of that stopped anything or anybody, like me & my MOM—who means the world to ME! After loosing the battle,my family & I lost my MOM to the horrible LUNG cancer that took her! It was awful! But, what I did gain was the opportunity to look up one day as I was making a deposit in the drive-thru at the bank, I noticed this place called Dahn Yoga. I saw Dahn Yoga over & over every time I went to this certain bank! Well, I just HAD to go in & check it out!!!! That’s just how I am, YOU know. I am SURE YOU UNDERSTAND!!! I BET YOU ARE THAT WAY,AREN’T YOU? Well, anyway, I walked in the next day and filled out some paperwork because the people were mysteriously behind closed doors and I HAD to find out just WHAT they were doing! WELL, I came back later to see! That what it! I had done Yoga before, but NOT like THIS!!! This was different!!!! This Yoga was about balance, and they kept talking about a thing called donjon, I mean…..what is that?
Well folks, I found out that day and I have NEVER looked back! Thank Goodness!
I also just returned from Brain Management Consultant Class Yesterday and couldn’t
be happier! I am more educated and ready for the world, and now I can teach classes
to my Aunt in the (assisted -living) home she lives in! I also got to meet
ILCHI LEE, my dream of my life! He is so intelligent! I was so pleased! He gave
everyone a wonderful gift he made himself, he is the most special human I have
ever met in my life! I am blessed!
I now want to become a Master Healer and most likely take Tao! this program is amazing!
Thankyou so much!!!!

I thank Master Donna and Master Misha and Dahn Yoga and Master & Creator ILCHI LEE!
Thank you for allowing me to share this with you and yours!

Facing myself and being who I want to be with Dahn Yoga!

December 5th, 2009 dahncenter

OK so let’s face it – one doesn’t get fat, out of shape and feel like twice their age by loving vegetables and exercise. I had let myself go for a number of years and a number of reasons. When I came in for my one hour prescreening check up, I found out just where I really was. I tried to bend over and touch my toes and I couldn’t even come close! Now I am not sure if it was lack of flexibility or too much gut in the way – most likely both?everything was sore, my scoliosis bothered me a lot, my blood pressure was borderline high, it was like I was ready to be put out to pasture!! When my hour was up, Master Morgan had me feeling so much better for a few days that I had to at least give Dahn a try. I signed up for the 3 month trial and came my 3 times a week every week.

I have to admit I was a bit freaked out by the hugs and loving environment. I was not used to that and the walls I built around myself were thick. I was sent to Shim Sung within a few weeks. It changed my life and started me on this incredible journey of growth and discovery. I attended as many workshops as I could, I became a Gold Member and started showing up most days of the week. I was feeling much better and seeing some improvement. Did I find the key?
It all ramped up even more when I started taking the deep training with Master Jang. I have become so much stronger and healthier. I have had many people tell me I look like a completely different YOUNGER person (of course playing with the YEHAS helps!) My weight has decreased, my gravity pulled body parts are reshaping back upward and I feel great! My aches and pains are all gone and my back rarely hurts anymore.

I saw the doctor yesterday and she said with the severity of the curve in my spine I should be in an intense amount of pain right now; they usually have to operate at this point to help relieve some of the pain. She was shocked to see otherwise. She sat across from me, put her pen and paperwork down and said “I have to be honest with you?you have lost over 55 pounds, your back is a miracle, your blood pressure is fine and you look great ?healthier then I have ever seen you. Your (Dahn) yoga has done more for you in the last 8 months then I as a doctor could have ever done. Keep it up?
Wow? I guess I DID find the key!!! And who knew I could open my heart this much. No more freak outs over hugs J
