In this clip from Cults, Culture, and Coercion with Dr. Steven Hassan, survivor Alisa Daniels reveals how she was drawn into Ilchi Lee’s Dahn World / Body & Brain yoga cult, a so-called healing movement that exploited kindness and spirituality. She describes the hidden world inside Korean wellness cults, where followers believe they’re helping humanity—while being controlled, drained, and silenced.
