There's a LOT You Can Learn
On This Website. But . . .
How Can Any One Person . . . ?
How can one guy know enough about all this stuff to
really know anything of substance about any of it …?
Well, I must confess that many years ago, when I was a few years into my Private Practice, someone (a fellow bodyworker and co-student of Daniel Blake and Structural Bodywork) asked me that very question. I was already covering a lot of territory (yoga, meditation, bodywork, nutrition and detoxification), and to him, it seemed like too much for any one person to be good at all of it.
Whether he intended it this way or not, I took it as an accusation that I could NOT know all that stuff. And to be honest, that negatively affected me for a VERY long time — a couple of decades, actually. It played significantly into my insecurities from early childhood. (I could tell you a lot of stories. It all started in kindergarten …
… )
Down deep, something inside me believed he was right. How could I, how could anyone, really know all that stuff to any degree of competence? (It was not until years later I realized that many doctors are required to know an even higher quantity of information about even more areas of study, though in different areas and far more technical than what I was into back then.)
So for many years, because of that and a few other similar events, I held back on putting my work out to the world … and You! … for a long time. Too long, actually … until I was as sure as I could be that what I was doing and teaching made sense and really worked.
Hiding Out . . . Until NOW . . .
It's all been 30 years in professional development, actually. With me kind of hiding out behind the scenes, until now … and Starting with this Website.
So Please, think about it for a moment. … I have devoted almost my entire life to this kind of practice and work. I got started in my early teens, about 40 years ago. And I admit it, I'm a compulsive learner, a data junky, and a perfectionist. And from my main teachers in life, whether driven by my insecurities or not, I learned to dig deeper into things than most people do. I literally Live and Breathe this stuff.
Also, if for no other reason, I have watched almost NO TeeVee in my adult life.
… I haven't even owned one in my adult life.
That frees up a LOT of time.
And by-the-way, even Ida Rolf, founder of Rolfing®, who was a chemist before becoming a bodyworker, said construction workers were usually better equipped to learn balancing of the human musculoskeletal and myofascial structure than most medical doctors. Most doctors learn about and deal with specific tissues rather than overall structures. So I had a head start.
I have spent most of my life working around
and with structures of various kinds . . .
And being able to make a living at what you love and are best at helps, too. It gives you more time to explore, study and analyze.
The downside, however, is that while other people were out there making money, I was in a medical library somewhere for days at a time looking things up, trying to piece together scientific facts that few people have delved into before. … And also trying to figure out how to best communicate this stuff to more people. …
People like You.
And if you're thinking that if something is really all that good, that it just sells itself, think again. It just ain't true. Some of the Very Best Products require far more marketing than products that are truly inferior.
As many of the Top Marketing Gurus in the world will tell you: If you invent a Better Mouse-Trap, you better have a Great Marketing Plan. Otherwise, you might retire with a garage full of better mouse-traps. … Which is why I am committed to helping people like you with their marketing, to help you learn things that, frankly, are VERY counter-intuitive, but they WORK.
Trying New Ideas & Techniques with Clients & Students
I've also spent huge amounts of time trying out new therapeutic strategies with Clients, and a lot of the time not charging them for it, or not very much. (One year, when I was working with a lot of classical music students at a leading music college, I gave about TWENTY THOUSAND dollars of discounts, just to figure out how successful my work would be with musicians, and because most musicians have very little money.)
I was far more interested in figuring out how to help people than in making top dollar.
(NOT always the best strategy, by-the-way.)
And the people I tend to work with have, in their estimation, been to so many places and therapies — both orthodox AND alternative — that they had nearly given up on ever finding relief. … NO, I do not have a 100 per cent track record. But with that group of people, it's at least 80 per cent, which in this business is pretty darn good.
With 18 years experience in the health care professions, I appreciate soundly researched & scientifically based approaches to rehabilitation. The DSL Method of BodyWork has expanded and refined my understanding and applications for achieving postural correctness and pain relief in less time. David has a unique way of reiterating known fundamental laws, redefining erroneous concepts, and instructing the participants through a successful treatment program.

What's MY Job . . . ?
To Help YOU BE On The Leading Edge of
Yoga Principles, Sciences & Therapeutics
With the vast increase in the number of teachers and therapists out there, you need an Edge to stay ahead of the … do I DARE use the word? … Competition! …
Before going on, although I do my best to keep yoga and politics separate, I believe that an American Yogi needs to know the spiritual and social background of such things if they are ever intending to apply yoga principles to social change and progress in the West. We must learn to become relevant to the Western Mind and Culture, as well as their physical and mental challenges. So I am touching upon this here. But I leave most of those issues to a different website.
Okay. I know. Competition has a bad name.
But if you look closely at the word Com-Petition, and break it down to its parts, it means, literally:
To Seek (petition — to ask for) . . .
Together (com — as in community) . . .
Therefore, Com-Petition means To Seek Together . . .
Now I ask you, what's wrong with that?
What happens in REAL competition in the truly FREE-Market Place* (as it had evolved in Early America) is that different people offer different products or services — some similar, some not — in the attempt to satisfy the needs and desires of their customers (like Students & Clients. And technically speaking, an employer is a customer for our services, too.)
As an extreme example, when I first started teaching yoga, one of my best friends expressed an interest in taking classes. Yet, he told me he loved going out drinking beer with his friends a few nights a week. He then said he was afraid that, if he started doing yoga, he would lose interest in going out at night with his friends — and drinking beer with them. So not wanting to risk that loss, he respectfully declined to attend my yoga classes. …
Now, who am I to tell him he was wrong? (There is an old saying in marketing: The customer might not always be Right, but they are NEVER Wrong!)
So I soon realized I would not be competing just with yoga teachers, I would also be competing with anyone who provided beer to anyone who likes beer. Or ANYTHING ELSE that people could spend their time, energy or money on. So the question is, who creates a better experience? A yoga teacher, or a beer bar? …
Who ever does a better job, or provides a better or more desirable product, whether it's yoga or beer, gets more Students and Clients, or Customers, or a promotion and a raise. The people who do NOT provide the better — or more useful — experience, go out of business.
Now, if I went on a campaign to outlaw beer drinking, or make people feel BAD about their beer drinking, then I would be working AGAINST the truly Free-Marketplace. Not to mention the acceptance that is supposed to be part of the Yogic Mindset. That's why Prohibition didn't work. It is NOT their responsibility to be convinced or behave the way you want them to. It is up to YOU and I to first even get their attention. THEN to persuade them in an emotionally peaceful, non-coercive, non-violent way. As in AHIMSA. (One of the few Sanskrit words I use, by-the-way.)
* The Free-Market, as originally developed here in Early America, includes freedom from deception, fraud, coercion or force. If there are any of those elements, then it is NOT a truly FREE-marketplace. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing left of the Free-Market in this country. Like in medicine or food or our money system. They have been very heavily regulated for about about 50 to 100 years now, and the inevitable negative results have been all too evident for us all to see.
While Yoga is, according to some people, ultimately about the Quest for Inner Peace & Freedom, the American Experiment was about Peace, Freedom & Prosperity, although a more external manifestation than from ancient India and China. (However, if you read my material on Naphsha, you might be convinced there was, originally, more of an internal focus in Western Spirituality than most people recognize. Problem is, that all got Lost In Translation from the Ancient Arabic language to modern English and The Bible.)
Now, by the way, I don't usually talk about this right away, but since you've read so far:
I do not make that last paragraph about Naphsha and such stuff a primary focus with Clients or Students until I know for sure they have an interest. But if YOU are interested, or intrigued, I'll have information on that on the website very soon. You can start on clicking that link near the beginning of this paragraph.
Now, the Real Free-Market DOES require that participants have a strong sense of honesty and morality, something that many yogi's are trying to promote in their teachings; especially if they are paying any attention to the Yamas and Niyamas, of which the American correlates are the 10 Commandments and the 10 Articles of the Bill of Rights.
But, just as many yoga philosophers lament the fact that very few people pay much attention to the spiritual foundations of the Yamas and Niyamas of Yoga, it is also lamentable that most Americans have literally no idea about the spiritual, political, economic and legal foundations of their American government. Via elimination of all such education in our schools, and an idea called the Living Constitution, and, the essence of the 10 Commandments and the Bill of Rights has been nearly destroyed.
But if allowed to operate, the Free Marketplace seeks the best means of helping and satisfying The Most People. Individuals like you and I are cooperating with each other — even if they never meet or know one another personally — via the marketplace of ideas, services and products to improve the quality and innovation, to increase availability, and/or to lower the prices, or all three. Those who do not do so well at serving their customers either have to improve their contribution to people, or find another line of work they are better suited for.
Yes, there are those who engage in Cut-Throat Competition. However they tend to be in the minority. You and I want to succeed by figuring out, to the best of our ability, what is best for people and providing it for them. That's how most people make a living, or prosper, or even get rich: by serving their customers (or employers) as well as possible. The more you provide a better service or product, the more likely you will be able to live the life-style you choose doing something you love to do. You can also afford to take more workshops … like MINE!
Helping YOU Stay On The Leading Edge . . .
It is my objective to do the study, research and experimentation to help you stay on the Leading Edge of physical, mental and therapeutic yoga, as well as how to get your knowledge and skills out to The People as best as possible.
Now, a number of my friends and acquaintances in both the yoga and bodywork fields have done quite well doing this. Which means they figured out how to give people what they wanted and needed. A few of them I even helped develop what they do. One school of massage and neuromuscular therapy redesigned their entire curriculum based on what the owner, Kyle Wright, learned from me in a 4 day workshop in Sarasota, Florida, back in 1994.
Through my years of experience in clinical practice and taking over 100 seminars in bodywork, I have found The DSL Method to be the missing link toward a greater understanding of human physiology and chronic reflex pain patterns. I endorse and highly recommend taking a course in The DSL Method.

I don't know if you want to get rich or not, but I Promise — and 100 % GUARANTEE – that you WILL be able to deliver Leading Edge, State-of-the-Art ideas and techniques to your Students and Clients. You will have knowledge and abilities that few people have right now. … At least until more people start to find this website. Even then, the more people that are evolving the work of yoga, the more people are improving their teachings, the better it is for the whole profession.
On the DSL Let-Go Yoga website, you will — over the coming weeks, months and years — learn as much as I can possibly deliver via the Internet that applies to yoga and related information and technique. You'll be learning how to help people wit even better skills, knowledge and insight than you have now. And since you've read this far, you are probably the kind of human being who wants to.
And I'll being doing my best to help you achieve that.
David Scott Lynn's gift is extraordinary. Not only did his personal brand of bodywork restore me to physical balance and freed me of life-long chronic pain, he went on to instruct me in the art of yoga. Sensitively — and amazingly knowledgeably — David taught me how to help myself maintain and build upon all his solid achievements. David is a natural, and I'll be forever grateful that our paths crossed.

Frankly, this website is, in part, an experiment. I have always taught this stuff live and in-person before. I don't know how much of it will be teachable over the internet. I am pretty darn sure that AT LEAST 25, maybe even 50 percent of it can be, maybe more. What cannot be taught over the 'net, you can come to Live Trainings to get what needs to be presented in person.
But only after you've proven to yourself that what's here on the website is VERY useful and valuable to you. THEN you should invest the time, energy and money to come to a Live Training, while they are still available.
- At this moment time, since the website is in its infancy, the BEST way to get going on DSL Let-Go Yoga is to attend a Live Training. Right now, if you want to learn all the above mentioned stuff LIVE, please check out this Live Trainings Link. I will only be doing a handful of these in the near future. Then, certain portions of it will be available on the website, OR for a VERY increased price. — DSL
Even the course on hands-on bodywork techniques, partly designed for massage and bodyworkers, will provide you, a yoga teacher or yoga therapist, with significant insights into doing physical adjustments in asana. Yet there are some aspects even of that that can be communicated via the web.
Although I can, obviously, only teach the really in-depth, more physical aspects in the Live Trainings, actually experiencing my hands-on release technique gives MOST people a very different experience of their muscles and way-of-being, even those who have been practicing yoga, massage or bodywork for a very long time.
By-The-Way … when I first set out to do this website work, I needed a way to expand my mind to see what was really possible, rather than focusing on the limitations. So I started asking myself the questions:
How would I deliver a Bodywork Session over the internet?
How would I teach a Yoga Class over the Internet?
Obviously, the first one cannot be done directly. The second has more potential. Yet you might be amazed at the ideas that on-going thinking exercise brought up.
Well, hopefully, you have a better idea of what this site is all about, and what you can get here.
Oh Yeah . . .
How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?
Some of you might be too young to remember that phrase in the old song How Much is that Doggy in Window? from the olden days in America, but it's also an inside joke that you'll figure out when you sign up for my FREE Weekly e-Letter. As a bonus, you will receive my e-book on the 9 Natural Laws of Yoga. In the first Law you receive, you'll get the punch line.
To answer the question of how much, though, you will be able to access A LOT of the information for . . .
. . . NO CHARGE.
Then, the next level, if you become a Member, is, get this, only 7 dollars per month!!! Yes, only SEVEN dollars per month (FOR THE NEAR FUTURE, or until I get inundated with orders), charged to your credit card on a monthly basis. I don't know how long I will keep the price that low, but if you sign up soon, the Basic Level will never go above that for YOU.
Then, I will have 3 or more levels for more complex, in-depth information. That is where the animations, videos and in-depth YogasAnalysis™ will be. For those who are really into it, I'll have a private, e-Coaching System for interacting directly via the internet and the phones. That way you can get your questions answered directly by me.
Yes, they will cost more money. … But first, why not find out what you can get for FREE or for $7.00 per month?
If I cannot come up with several ideas and pieces of information EACH WEEK that are worth SEVEN DOLLARS to you — that's 23 CENTS per day — then I think you would agree with me, if I am not worth 23 CENTS per day to you, then I should just shut this site down RIGHT NOW and find something I can do of more value! … Right?
The Member Portion of the website is a few weeks to a month away from operation.
So right now, the free stuff is all that's available.
So, the best thing you could do right now is sign up for my FREE (approximately) Weekly e-Letter. This will allow me to deliver my weekly article (I will do my best to keep these short, like, 1200 words or so) and notifications of when I put more information on or make additions to the website, as well as many other insights into the nature of physical and mental yoga and general health and healing.
