Martial Art Cults

Are they out there? You bet! I don't know about this Dahn Yoga, but is seems a little fishy if you ask me.

"A supreme leader who drives a bright yellow Hummer and has followers who cry when he enters a room..."
Why don't my students cry when I enter a room? ;-)

Story:
As Monica Demarco drove away from the Dahn Yoga retreat center near Sedona, Arizona, and headed back to Albuquerque in December, she didn't feel the peace the masters had promised. She also hadn't learned martial arts, as promised.

In a Google search of Dahn Yoga, posts comparing the practice with a cult pop up on the first page. "Be careful," warns a posting on yoga.com.
