Dahn means energy and Yoga means union of body and mind. Energy is a medium to bridge body and mind. In Dahn Yoga practice the Dahnjon is the center of energy circulation in the body. Jon means farm or repository. We have a total of seven Dahnjons in the body. Three of them are internal Dahnjons and the other four are external ones. The internal three are called upper Dahnjon, middle Dahnjon and lower Dahnjon. When we refer to Dahnjon, we are usually referring to the lower abdomen.
