Talk about using the force. Among those who engage in Dahn Yoga, energy and vitality often increase with a practitioner's ability to relax and explore themselves. To this end, instructors in Chile have begun offering Star Wars-themed courses in yoga, tai chi and martial arts for 6- to 12-year-olds, according to BBC Mundo.
Called the Jedi Temple, the school in Quilpue, Chile, uses motifs and garb from the popular movie series to convey the concepts of self-control, honor, wisdom and both mental and physical flexibility, the news source said.
The classes, which are currently only intended for children, also cover taekwondo and basic katana exercises, for which kids are issued plastic lightsabers in a variety of colors, BBC adds.
According to practitioners of Dahn Yoga, energy and spiritual force may be harnessed using little more than a simple, holistic mind-body system.
By stretching, breathing deeply, realigning one's meridians, practicing tai chi and focusing inward, Dahn Yoga members both young and old can harness the spiritual energy that, as a notable Jedi says, "surrounds us and penetrates us."
