The Dragon's Head Blog: National Danyu Challenge Report

We want to thank everyone for their overwhelming support from across Canada for the National Danyu Challenge. The feedback was quite inspiring. We completed together a total of 4,893,767 danyus, 97,780 snakes, and so far we have received $31,964 in donations … but there are more continuing to come in.

Here is some of the feedback:

Getting better everyday. — Sheila

Je deviens de plus en plus souple, forte, persévérante, constante et détendue. — Lise, Montréal (I’m getting more supple, stronger, more persevering, more constant and more relaxed)

I don’t have to hold onto the arm of a chair anymore when I sit down or stand up. — Ethel

Le défi m’a permis de découvrir un nouvel ami… le Serpent! — de la Région de l’Est (The challenge introduced me to my new best friend : Snakes !)

I am happier and quieter inside. — from the Atlantic Region

It’s simple math… more minutes in danyus each day = more health benefits. — Barb

It is real inspiring for me to see that as I get older I am more physically capable. — Jean

There were quite a few people who were out of the country and emailed in their numbers (from Mexico, Europe, and Australia).

From across Canada everyone enjoyed the National Danyu Challenge and gained a deeper understanding of the benefits of this foundation exercise in the Taoist Tai Chi® arts. Just like we tell the beginners the important thing is to continue practicing and have fun. Again we wanted to thank everyone for their support.

Sincerely,
The Regional Presidents
