New Mexico is called it the Land of Enchantment because of its natural beauty--from its open skies to its vast desert vistas and beautiful mountains. But it is also enchanting as a home to ancient sacred sites and as a place of wonder to which many people have come seeking spiritual sustenance. It is no surprise that Dahn Yoga has selected New Mexico as a key site to host part of its nationwide “Power of Meditation” event series on December 17, 2011.
Though yoga has become widespread in American culture, Dahn Yoga offers a unique perspective, in that it favors integration over specialization. Meditation is integrated into all aspects of practice. According to Dahn Yoga CEO, Dong Hoon Cha “the yoga most people know is only part of an important process. Yoga calms the body and mind in preparation for meditation.” Dahn Yoga teaches that through meditation, we can learn important stress-management skills. Deep breathing, relaxation and focus enable us to manage our responses to life’s circumstances. In addition, Dahn Yoga meditation helps individuals develop awareness and acceptance of their physical body, their thoughts and emotions. This, in turn helps practitioners develop better relationships with other people and with their environments.
Based on Korean tradition, Dahn Yoga meditation focuses on movement, enabling practitioners to experience the benefits of meditation more quickly. The “Power of Meditation,” a dynamic and entertaining nationwide workshop, will feature: Simple, powerful meditation techniques; live music performance; martial arts demonstration; Collaborative Meditation; and an inspirational presentation by Ilchi Lee, Dahn Yoga founder and author of The Call of Sedona. All participants will receive Dahn Yoga’s biggest giveaway ever: a free one-month Dahn Yoga Membership.
In the New Mexico, the event will be held at the Albuquerque Convention Center on Saturday, December 17th from 1:00 to 5:00 PM, with an informational expo from 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
