Meditation, even the Klingons do it!

Everyone knows about meditation, But does everyone know the Klingons like to get their meditative state on too?

Klingons practice Mok'bara, it's similar to tai chi, except there are less fluid movements and more clawed hands and rough/fast movements (it is based off of Klingon hand to hand combat).

Ok, it is similar to tai chi in the sense that its calming. It clears the mind.

Here is Worf (everyone's favorite Klingon, and background story:he is being imprisoned with uncultured dishonorable Klingons, ok now your sorta kinda caught up.)

Alright, so now you are interested and want to do some form of meditation too. Now you can either memorize this video and maybe two other clips from Next Generation and Deep Space 9 episodes, OR you can actually learn some human created tai chi. (Just saying its cool to do both, I did both.)

Alright, so here is something you can try and imitate (and it is not in english, but you can just follow along with your jeepers creepers peepers. ok.)


And if tai chi isn't for you, try some regular yoga! check these poses out:

Now if you aren't already excited about tai chi, yoga, and Mok' bara, then you are probably too stressed out for fun and therefore need to do all of these right away. And go get a massage, you deserve it.

Here is a really cool link I found, it's a store that sells Klingon yoga mats! Everyone should buy one and own one, other wise you are a dishonor to everything calming and meditative. Seriously, buy one, they are rad.
