DAHN YOGA IS A CULT

I started this thread because my brother seems to be brainwashed by the Dahn Yoga organization.
I have nothing against Yoga. In fact, I take a Yoga class twice a week. Yoga itself is not the issue.
The Dahn Yoga organization on the other hand is an altogether different story.

Dahn Yoga exploits peoples’ pain by demanding absolute devotion along with credit and cash. They promise holistic healing for a variety of ailments while constantly demanding more money. At the same time, turning members against their friends and family who may disagree with their methods. They have also been known to deny 'love' and further practice when a member cannot pay. There have even been instances of punishments.
They host major retreats in Sedona Arizona and a few other places where members are (in my opinion) more or less brainwashed and subject to mind control.
I believe them to be a dangerous cult and I'm not the only one.
There have been lawsuits as well as investigative reports against them.

I have included some links to better inform you of their manipulating practices. They include video of some investigative reports and more information on what I believe to be psychologically abusive practices.

Hmmm.
I see that d7771 is from Sedona Arizona where the major retreats are hosted.
Including the one that killed a woman.

I also see that this member has no photo, profile info and its their 1st post.
Nice try, d7771 but I'm not buying it and I think that you are insulting the intelligence of the members of this site by posting in this thread at all.
To me its plain as day that you people are severely deranged.

On a side note, I started a facebook group against The Dahn Yoga organization called Dahn Yoga = Exploitation.
I strongly urge members of this site to join it in support of those who are being conned and manipulated by this group.

This is not a joke they are dangerous.

Its really a little weird. but so seems cientology to me. The biggst brainwash organisation is still the Catholic church. Though they have good ambitions.

*joins group*

Although I've never heard of them they sound like your usual conmen in the same league as the televangelists who wreaked so much havoc on Christian America and certain new age "prophets".
