Dahn yoga
Dahn yoga (also known as ''Dahn Hak'' or ''Dahnhak'') is a Korean physical exercise system and business founded in 1985 by Ilchi Lee. In Korean, ''dahn'' means "primal, vital energy," and ''hak'' means "study of a particular theory or philosophy." News sources have described its exercises as "a blend of yoga, tai chi, and martial arts exercises." Dahn Yoga is taught through for-profit and non-profit studios as well as community centers.

According to ''Dahn Yoga Basics'', a book published by Dahn Yoga Education, Dahn Yoga has "three unique characteristics": "the mastery and use of energy", "enhancing the body-brain connection", and "self-managed, holistic health care". The practice draws upon traditional notions of ki, also known as chi or qi. A typical class begins with what is called "Meridian Stretching" exercise, which is believed to stimulate the energy in the body. After these stretching exercises, practitioners normally follow a sequence of postures. Classes often include elements of meditation, as well.〔
An article by three physicians from Weill Cornell Medical College published in the ''Journal of General Internal Medicine'' reported the conclusions of a 3-month study of community-based mind-body training methods. The study surveyed 171 adults enrolled at various Dahn Yoga Centers in the New York City area. All of the participants had taken ten or fewer classes at the beginning of the study. The article concludes that participants reported "moderate improvements after 3 months of practice" with increased scores "in all (the surveyed ) domains of health-related quality of life, fewer depressive symptoms, less trait anxiety, and greater self-efficacy".
