"Dan" in Japanese means step or degree. Yoga is a daily life activity. When a Kesari belt yogi continues his/her yogic sadhna for 1 year, he will be awarded 1 dan or "ichi dan". For 2 years, 2 dan and so on.

Interestingly, if yogi miss any year to be kesari belt even once, all the dan will be cancelled and he has to start this holistic journey again.

Lets become Kesari Belt yogi first then move towards the journey of dan.
