Energy Dance
Since I was a young child, I trained in ballet, jazz and lyrical dance. My favorite part of the training was ballet bar and floor preparation. When I started Dahn Yoga, I realized why I always enjoyed the repetitive movement at the bar and holding postures in floorwork. It was meditation for me. I could focus just on what I was doing - and I loved challenging my body to go further and further. I found that feeling and more when I went to Dahn Mu Do school. In focusing in the postures, I was able to feel calm and centered but also feel my body and soul as part of a bigger structure. During the practice, I truly felt myself and my life as part of a huge cosmic energy dance. I am so grateful to my Mom who worked a second job to ensure my sister and I had a chance to dance and deeply appreciative of Ilchi Lee who created Dahn Mu Do, which made me realize my true essence as a cosmic dancer.
