Description The New Jedi Order’s Jedi Training system was developed by Jedi Yogini using ancient wisdom of  Hatha yoga and incorporates references to ‘the force’ and the characters and stories from the “Star Wars” movies by George Lucas. It is designed to help to teach children a way of developing focus and awareness of the breath, while strengthening the body. This unique system helps children to learn or improve coordination, concentration, and self confidence. It can be used alone or in balance with other sports, dance, or martial arts.

Introduction on the New Jedi Order Training

In the days following the downfall of the tyrannical Empire, a renewed desire to restore the lost Jedi Arts arose. Eager to avoid the mistakes of the past, a yoga teacher was chosen who would give this new endeavor its focus. This new focus is a balance of a cultivation of the spirit, mind, heart in balance with a cultivation of strength in the body.

The Jedi would not be trained for battle so heavily. The Jedi would not be hidden away in a tower, members of a secret society. They would instead be integrated within society. With direct and daily contact, the Jedi would be able to influence the affairs of others in a positive way by being instruments of peace.

To be a force for good, a Jedi must understand that he/she must begin with cultivating the self. Therefore the New Jedi Way encourages inner growth through meditation, physical exercises to strengthen the body, focus the mind, and open the heart. The Jedi will never again be a police force to be used or misused by political figures. They are required to serve their community by being peacemakers and they would begin by allowing peace to grow in their own hearts and minds.

While the most elegant of weapons–the light saber– is kept, it is used to focus and direct the force. It is also kept around as a reminder of the Jedi’s failure so that we too will remember we of the New Jedi Order are not infallible. Remembering this history is important so that we can learn from it and grow in a life affirming direction.
