Body & Mind Cult: Dahn Yoga and High-Control Tactics With Former Member Alisa Daniels
When the oldest son of Alisa Daniels had a hockey injury and simply wanted to stay in shape by starting a new yoga practice, she couldn’t have imagined what path this would lead her entire family down. She now seeks to help others become aware of Il Chi Lee’s Dahn Yoga cult, now rebranded as Body & Mind, that drained her family of money and took hold of their lives. On this episode of Cults, Culture & Coercion, I talked with Alisa about the high-control tactics the Korean cult used to influence and entrap her son and herself, as well as other family members. When her son became involved in the Dahn Yoga group, she was concerned and wanted to learn more to stay close to him. This would, unfortunately, be how she also would become deeply involved and ensnared. Then she recruited other family members and the cult got a lot of money. Fortunately, a successful intervention took place and everyone is happy and doing well.
