Ilchi Lee may not be a familiar name to everyone and I admit that I was only recently made aware of him. When my friend first introduced me to his work, I was immediately impressed by his amazing achievements. Not only is Ilchi Lee a peace activist but he is also a spiritual leader who has created his own style of yoga. His teachings are based on using the energy of the body to achieve spiritual awakening. The approach of connecting the emotional, physical and spiritual parts of the body is reflected in his approach to yoga. The Dahn Yoga classes, which are the ones that he started, involve doing various stretches and postures and include an element of meditation and is said to be a combination of yoga, tai chi and martial arts on the way that the exercises are formulated. These classes sound like a really great way to keep fit and relax at the same time. A great way to wind down after work and harness some new energy for the evening. I will certainly be finding out more about these yoga classes and seeing whether there are any in my local area that I can join with my friend.
