		<description>Articles like yours and are needed more than ever right now. I work here in Sedona where the controversy has now centered and many of us here know all about the phony promises, and pressure selling of memberships that Dahn has foisted on well meaning people. Dahn Hak is NOT yoga but sadly now when people come here they see Yoga in the news as Dahn Yoga and shy away. 

This is totally wrong and unfair to the many legitimate Yoga practitioners here. Dahn, and Tao, and Mago have usurped the good name of Yoga solely to dupe the public into thinking what Ilchi Lee&#039;s organization offers is Yoga and to sell other courses at sky-high prices. 

The Dahn organization took aspects of Yoga, LGAT, meditation - you name it - whatever sounded &quot;new age&quot;, then added pyramid sales techniques to create a financial empire. Fortunately they are now being exposed for what they are. 

In my opinion the worldwide Yoga community must fight to defend what yoga really is, in the onslaught of such organizations who &quot;bait and switch&quot;. 

Rolling Stone magazine exposed Ilchi Lee&#039;s organization for what it is - that&#039;s a start, but more needs to be done. Do you know that locally, at the Dahn center, the &quot;Dahn masters&quot; ( and I use the term lightly ) teach that yoga came from Korea and not India? Oh there&#039;s lot&#039;s worse that will eventually be made public.

In the mean time, sadly, the reputations of good people who teach and practice yoga, both here in Sedona and elsewhere, have been tarnished. 

Thought you might like to know.</description>

		<description>Without a doubt Yoga isnt the issue here. Yoga is done by millions worldwide. The issue is around cult behavior and that can occur in any group</description>
