There is a website at www.NewDahn.com/USA which just posted a 32 page story on the immoral goings on at Dahn Yoga. It is a story written by a high ranking Korean master who tells of how Ilchi Lee runs his organization.

[b:4cbf3d5f44]It is very disturbing how he has sex with masters and then orders them to have abortions. [/b:4cbf3d5f44]

[b:4cbf3d5f44]It is very strange how a group claims to be for world peace has so many masters committing suicide. They also commit violence against former members.[/b:4cbf3d5f44]

There have been many warnings about this group, yet still they manage to thrive in the United States. Hopefully, many people will read this story and Dahn yoga will come to an end with Ilchi Lee and his family going to jail for a long time

It has been reported on various sites on the web about the green card marriages, the swindling of money from members, and the manipulation that goes on in the center. All of these immoral activities are geared at making Ilchi Lee a very rich man.

Maybe public education can put a stop to this atrocity. Tell your friends.

There has been an update on www.newdahn.com/usa regarding the immoral activities of Dahn Yoga's founder Ilchi Lee.

Please read for yourself why you should stay as far away from this cult as possible.

There are many people who think this is a regular yoga class, but it is not. When you join you are manipulated into spending more money and more time than at any normal yoga school. You wouldn't even think about spending as much time on your real job as they will have you spending at the center doing work for them.

Eventually you will be convinced you are better off staying with the masters at the center because they are enlightened. You will be convinced into leaving your family and friends behind while you try to reach enlightenment by way of dahn yoga practice.

This won't happen because dahn yoga is a fraud. The love bombing from the masters is an act to keep you under control and to keep your wallets open. The whole purpose of dahn yoga is to make Ilchi Lee a very rich man.

Please read the above link and see how many masters have been tossed aside when he no longer has a use for them.

Will [b:21de9aa3e4]YOU[/b:21de9aa3e4] be Dahn Yoga's next victim?

:(
I am concerned after reading all the negative views expressed about Dahn Yoga. I started practicing 2 months ago and enjoy it very much. Have met very nice people at the Center and the classes are fun and not at all boring. However, I don't want to contribute to a group that is unethical and corrupt. I will welcome a debate from all sides, so please write and tell us your experiences..good or bad. :D

"However, I don't want to contribute to a group that is unethical and corrupt. I will welcome a debate from all sides, so please write and tell us your experiences..good or bad."

There is no need for a debate. If you read all of the posts regarding this group you will see they are dangerous and not to be trusted in any way.

Do not kid yourself. There is no redeeming value to be found there. They may act all nice but it is just an act designed to make you feel secure in their presence. They have one purpose and that is to make their founder Ilchi Lee a very rich man. They have no interest in saving the world. This is what they tell potential members so they feel good when they are paying for expensive courses they don't need. If you want proof for yourself stop paying for special training programs and just go to the classes you paid for. When they realize they can't control you they will ignore you and try to drive you out . They expect to get approximately 30-40 thousand dollars per student over the course of their membership. If they can't get it from you they will move on to an easier mark.

Please read the following websites for the real truth about Dahn Yoga and their founder Ilchi Lee.

Thanks BB for your response. I appreciate your candor and am curious to know how you found out about the hidden motives of this organization. To the average person, they are just another new age studio offering a different way to keep fit. An alternative so to speak....to me it was a breath of fresh air compared to a gym which I found totally boring, unfriendly and cold.

They were just sued for wrongful death.

HOLISTIC HORROR LAWSUIT
By DAVID HAFETZ and PHILIP RECCHIA

Julia Siverls was voracious, racking up advanced degrees in a dogged pursuit of knowledge that eventually led the Queensborough Community College education professor to a fateful spiritual retreat in the Arizona desert.

Dahnhak, a yoga and holistic-health group, offered to make her a master of its discipline if she completed one last test.

But that test cost Siverls, 41, her life, her family charges in an explosive $84 million lawsuit.

The suit calls Dahnhak a cult and alleges that it drugged Siverls, loaded her backpack with 40 pounds of rocks, gave her little food or water, then took her on a hike up Casner Mountain, near Sedona, Ariz.

She collapsed from dehydration and exhaustion in the desert heat but was forced her to go on and died halfway up the mountain on July 12, 2003, the suit says.

"It was total, total neglect," her sister, Veronica Siverls-Dunham, said. "This was a senseless death."

According to police reports obtained by The Post, an off-duty officer spotted the group on the mountain. The officer said Siverls was "hunched over" and had fallen.

An autopsy found the cause of death to be consistent with "acute heat stroke, dehydration and hyperthermia due to environmental exposure," the suit states.

Her family believes her meals at the retreat were laced with marijuana and methadone. A vegan, she never touched drugs, it says.

Siverls-Dunham, a high-school science teacher, called her sister, the youngest of 12 siblings, was the family's "pride and joy."

The suit says Dahnhak "lures" members with free yoga classes, then pressures them to attend pricey classes and retreats. Named as co-defendants are over a dozen allegedly related operations and Dahnhak's Korean leader, "Grand Master" Seung Huen Lee.

Chris Scanlon, a Manhattan lawyer for Mago Earth, one of the defendants, said, "The allegations of wrongful death are baloney."

A Dahnhak spokeswoman said neither Lee nor any other official could be reached for comment.

Seung Huen Lee, who also goes by the name Ilchi Lee, calls himself an "educational philosopher and world-peace leader" on a Web site that claims that Dahnhak teaches "the study of energy and how to use it to achieve mastery of mind and body and illumination of the spirit."

Dahnhak, based in Sedona, operates 50 centers in the U.S. and many more worldwide, according to the suit. There are at least 13 centers in New York, including locations on Sixth Avenue and a Dahn Yoga in Brooklyn Heights.

Arizona police say that the Siverls case is still open but that it's unlikely anyone will be charged.
