By slowing one's mental pace and feeling the flow of energy through the limbs, a practitioner can experience a new level of calm and serenity.
Having incorporated tai chi into its holistic health regimen several decades ago, Dahn Yoga is now happy to teach individuals of all ages how to move slowly, gently and in such a way as to relax the body and open up the body's energy channels.
Recently, two studies conducted in the U.S. and the UK determined that problem-solving may be a mind-body pursuit, at least to a degree greater than anyone may have previously realized. A study published in the journal Psychological Science found that people with free hands or feet use body motions when solving problems.
Researchers at the Universities of Wisconsin and Birmingham discovered this principle after asking participants to do basic problem-solving tasks involving the rotation of gears. Volunteers had either their hands or their feet velcroed down, though some were left with their extremities free.
Those with unfettered hands and feet were much more likely to move their appendages around while coming to solutions.
A similar principle makes Dahn Yoga tai chi the effective holistic regimen that it is. By slowing one's mental pace and feeling the flow of energy through the limbs, a practitioner can experience a new level of calm and serenity.
