What's going on with the Dahn Yoga place?

[philipph.livejournal.com]

I noticed the past few days (maybe all week?) the "Dahn Yoga and Healing" (or whatever it's called) location has had a giant "Space Available" sign in the window, and I haven't seen anyone inside.
I may just have been going past at different times from usual, but in the past it's felt like there's someone in there all the time.
Looks almost abandoned now.
Does anyone know what happened, if anything?
Not complaining, or anything. I've never been there, so in principle I wouldn't miss it if it disappeared. And I gather there's a creepy cult-ish vibe about it in general (though my understanding is that some locations are far creepier than others).

i've heard about this cult vibe too- any first-hand accounts?

I have a friend who was involved. It's really his story to tell not mine so I won't give any details, but the whole thing was clearly not right. They did seem mostly focused on extracting his money, and not, like, his still-beating heart or anything like that. Although they did use strongly emotional tactics, I'm not sure if that technically counts as a cult any more than, say, Apple Computers does -- other than as a matter of degree.

Apple Computers

So true. (And they have me hook, line and sinker.)

There's a lot written up on the interwebs about Dahn's cult status. My only experience is from my mom dating a guy who was involved in it, and he was getting a lot of pressure to go on their fancy expensive "retreats".
