Monday is usually intestine exercise day at the Dahn Yoga center in which I work. Intestine exercises are a little strange for people at first. I have grown to love them. You can do them anywhere at anytime. To do them you move the muscles of your lower abdomen toward your back, as if there was a string attached to your navel pulling it back. Then you push the muscles out as far as you can. It is like giving your abdomen a massage and can help conditions such as shoulder tension, coldness in your abdomen, and constipation. Try them and share your experience here!

intestine exercise was my very first experience that brought me a vivid result … better skin. better digestion..
I love them, too. I do both inetestine exercise and breathing while sitting in traffic.
This week I had a friend visit from the mainland. She is very active and “strong” but not at all flexible and she is usually constipated (especially after a 13 hour flight). I taught her about Dahn-jon tapping, body tapping, toe tapping, and basic breathing and stretching. Then I took her to the center for a class.
She leaves today, but she had such a good experience here that she will continue to do exercises. When she gets home she will look into locations of centers…she travels alot.
Dahn Yoga is not limited to just a few special people. It is for everyone who wants to make a differnce in themselves, family, friends,etc. I love when I can share with my friends things that I have learned here. I love to see them smile and say “this feels good”.
