Instructional Ideas

• Invite learners to bring in a yoga mat for a more comfortable relaxation experience; provide yoga mats or cushions for those without their own
• Lead a short relaxation session when class members are in need of a brain break 
• Take pictures of each pose to display as reference during the lesson; add pictures of the characters along with the respective poses to engage the Star Wars novice and fanatic alike

Classroom Considerations

• Requires open space for pupils to stretch without bumping into their peers 
• Learners who have not seen the Star Wars films may not understand the references, but can still have fun and relax

Pros

• Lists the names of actual yoga poses in addition to the Star Wars-themed names
• Offers video tutorials and examples
• The popular theme enhances engagement

Cons

• None
