It is a pleasure to weave together my love of Star Wars and my love of physical fitness. Don’t be intimidated by that statement. If you are curious to test yourself, please join us. Modification of flows and poses is always possible. I do recommend a yoga mat or a beach towel, but that is not required. Taking lessons from The Jedi Path, the movies, and the legends we will share in the contemplation of what it means to be a Jedi while preparing our bodies for the rigors of a full day of Gen Con!
