Dahn Yoga originated from Sun Do, an ancient Korean practice dating back 9,000 years that was practiced secretly in the mountains for centuries. Sun Do was discovered by Ilchi Lee as he searched for ways to share his enlightenment experience, and reflected wisdom found in an Asian text called the Chun Bu Kyung. Dahn Yoga incorporates elements of practices like yoga, tai chi, meditation and martial arts while sharing similarities to the traditional Korean Sun Do.
