Dahn Yoga is an integrated mind-body training method that combines deep stretching exercises, meditative breathing techniques, and energy awareness training. Its objective is to help practitioners achieve their highest level of personal potential.

The traditional name for Dahn Yoga is Dahnahk, which literally means “the study of energy.” In Korean, Dahn refers to the primal, vital energy which is essential to all life forms, and hak refers to the sudy of a particular theory or philosophy. Thus, a Dahnhak practitioner is one who studies the system of energy for the purpose of overall self-development.
