Many thanks to Jag from the London Kundalini Centre for talking to us
about how he combines Jedi training and yoga....

Star Wars Kundulini Jedi Warrior training

Tell us a bit about yourself.
So my name is Jag Kaley I am a Kundalini yoga teacher and spirtual counseller and therapist. I help people with spiritual awakenings. I provide classess, workshops and seminars. I am currently creating the Jedi of the future

Where are you located?
I am based in Hackney, East London, where I regularly teach classess and we are now travelling to towns across the UK with our Jedi training.

How did you start?
The Jedi Warrior Academy was launched 2015.

It was during the months leading up to the release of the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens. I remember a line from the trailer 'there has been an awakening' and immedatly had the idea to merge my love for Star Wars and my love for yoga and to develop a workshop that included elements of both.

How many members do you have?
We have a small number of members who have atteneded the various trainings and workshops. We have a facebook and instagram page that people can follow and we are always on the look out for new Jedi.

Do you attend events or provide demonstrations?
Yes we provide workshops which are usually 2-3 hours long, we have done demos at varoius yoga retreats and festivals. Next year we hope to have a stand at the London Comic Con.

Are there any entry requirements?
Currently we are only offering workshops for adults 16 years and up, but we hope to launch our teen and kids programmes early in the new year.

There are no real entry requirements, a love for Star Wars and a desire to understand and use the Force for the good of all are helpful qualitites. We are are also developing a teacher training program so you can teach others the way of the Kundalini Force.

What do you love about Star Wars and how do you incorporate it in your training?
The powerful story telling and mythology of Star Sars is what excites me the most - the idea of a hero who follows a path through challenges and adversity to fulfil his destiny is a powerful metaphor for the life we all live.

I've always been a believer in God, but never resoanted with the idea of a man with a big beard sitting in the sky somewhere checking off our wish list of desires. The Force allows me to believe in a power greater than myself that I am able to connect with if I make myself open to it.

During my yoga training I often noted how similar the descriptions and assocaitions were for yogis and the Jedi, their search for truth, sering humanity, developing siddhis (yogic powers) and developing our intution and the ability to flow and trust the flow of life force energy.

In our workhops we connect to the power that exsits within our body known as kundalini energy and then connect to the energy all around us. The powerful yoga mediatations, breathing and movements allow us to build strength, confidence and courage so that we may serve and heal the world around us. The workshops use multimedia to relay the messages and teachings direclty from the Star Wars movies .
