Headspace partners with Lucasfilm for Star Wars breathing exercises

Mindfulness firm Headspace has teamed up with Lucasfilm to launch a range of Star Wars animated breathing exercises for its members.

The four exercises feature Yoda, BB-8, Chewbacca, and R2-D2.

The Breathe With Yoda exercise sees Yoda raise an X-wing with each breath in, and lower it back into the swamp with each exhale, while the Chewbacca exercise see the forests of Kashyyk come to life to deep breathing.

The BB-8 exercise sees the droid roll back and forth with each inhale and exhale, while the R2-D2 exercise sees the character move alongside your breathing.

Headspace is also launching three sleepcasts that will mentally transport listeners to locations from the Star Wars franchise, including Tattooine and the islands of Ahch-To.
