High Blood Pressure And Dahn Yoga
Mafida
I have been attending classes at Dahn Yoga for around nine months. When I started, I had high blood pressure, so I was taking 100 mg of Toporol XL, in addition to a diuretic. I was completely stressed out and taking an anti-anxiety medication. My goals were to lower my blood pressure and my stress level. After starting Dahn classes, I started to feel less stressed, have much more energy, and slept much deeper. I lost around 12 pounds and have found that my eating patterns are healthier. My blood pressure is now under control. I am now on only 5mg of my medication (down from 100mg).
Also, I was at a crossroads in my personal life, knowing that I had to make radical changes in my personal life in order to find meaning in my life. But I was unable to find the strength to take the steps I needed to. After I attended the Initial Awakening workshop, I began to understand more about the holistic side of Dahn. Beyond helping to improve my physical health, regular Dahn classes and private healing sessions have enabled me to deal with my anxiety. I no longer take medication for anxiety. I am a much calmer, happier, and more productive person. Thanks to Ilchi Lee.
