Among other Dahn Yoga benefits, the regimen’s energy channeling and self healing techniques can contribute to more effective pain management among people with back aches, joint aches and even toothaches.
Recently, a dental assistant in Wheat Ridge, a community outside of Denver, Colorado, recommends that her clients reap the benefits of Dahn Yoga during a dental visit.
Using the brain wave vibration system she learned in her local Dahn center, Maxine Wagoner of Johnson Dental demonstrates for her patients how to relax away some of the aches associated with tooth decay or dental visits, the Denver Post reports.
According to the newspaper’s column Husted, the assistant shows patients how to breathe deeply while gently rotating their head from side to side, allowing some of the painful energy to flow from their bodies.
A study of yoga and pain management published in the International Journal of Psychosomatics used a toothache as an example of pain that needs remedying, perhaps through yoga. Author Karel Nespor said that “an ideal treatment of pain should decrease distress, and in the same time it should maintain or even increase self-awareness.”
As members learn more advanced Dahn Yoga exercises, they may find that they can alleviate some of their aches through calm meditation and deep breathing.
