Dahn Yoga: Cult or just some super committed yoga-ers?

http://www.dahnyoga.com/

They have something called Brain Education System Training (BEST) and Brain Wave Vibration.

Dahn Yoga is a mind-body practice that combines the ancient wisdom of Ki energy training with modern techniques to maximize the brain's functioning.

My mom is obsessed with Dahn Yoga and tried to get me to go when I visited over Thanksgiving. She is also letting someone from the center stay with her indefinitely.

This is a cult, right?

She goes every single day, sometimes twice a day.

just checked the site and apparently one just opened a block away from me, maybe i'll check it out and see how creepy it all seems

yeah report back if you do! My friend who is super into yoga thinks I'm just being paranoid.

(which is entirely possible)

i just asked my yoga blogger friend about it and she said:
i've heard of dahn yoga, and it's kind of sketchy. there have been plenty of allegations that it practices cult-like behaviour. it made big news a few years ago when somebody died on a TT in arizona. post this link for your friend and tell her to read the VV article: http://brooklynheightsblog.com/archives/718

thanks for the info rrrobyn. i also came across a NYT article about dahn yoga that came out after that person died in arizona.

i should have investigated more when i was home visiting for thanksgiving!!
