1. Dahn Yoga History
As he searched how to share his enlightenment, Ilchi Lee discovered that the wisdom he had
received reflected the wisdom contained in a 9,000-year old sacred Asian text called the Chun Bu
Kyung, and that of the traditional Korean Sun Do practice.
Sun Do originated from the ancient Korean people in Northeast Asia. It was practiced as part of
popular culture during the Dahngun era, from 2333-108, and then disappeared into the mountains
where it continued to be practiced in secret by Sun Do masters for centuries.
From a modern perspective, Sun Do may be considered similar to other types of yoga, tai chi,
meditation, or martial arts. Dahn Yoga includes most of the elements of these body and mind
practices.
