At their core, Dahn Yoga classes are about reintroducing balance into one's life. This harmony can be arrived at in many ways, which is why mental and spiritual practices often accompany the physical ones. One of the more embracing ways in which Dahn Yoga classes attempt to restabilize practitioners' lives is by exposing them to individuals of both genders, as well as all creeds, races and ages.
A 2008 market study published by the Yoga Journal found that, among other inequalities in the yoga world, far more women attend yoga and meditation classes than men. More than 72 percent of U.S. yogis are women. Fewer than a third are men.
Similarly, just 18 percent of respondents were over the age of 55. The remainder was evenly split between 18- to 34-year-olds and those between the ages of 35 and 54.
This sort of asymmetry is not conducive to holistic life balance. Practicing yoga with one, narrow stripe of individuals can keep practitioners from discovering new and deeply pleasing interpersonal bonds.
For that reason, Dahn Yoga classes accept and encourage members of any age, creed or ethnicity to attend and attain wholeness together.
