I was kind of disappointed that only one person RSVPd to come to the MeetUP last week. Is your issue with the day? or time? or both?
I know we used to meet on Wednesdays ... so maybe this has thrown some of you off. But this space was only available on either Tues or Thurs ... and I figured Tues was better.
Chambers St is an express stop ... so it is very quick to get here from uptown.

I hope more of you will consider participating .... Stress in NYC is on the rise! And stress causes 90% of the health problems we experience today! Laughter Yoga is the most cost effective way to reduce or eliminate stress!

So please consider giving it a try this Tuesday!


Let's do Laughter Yoga!!

Get some ... Oxygen in your organs ... Bring down your blood pressure ... Assuage your stress ... Turbo charge your T-cells ... Edge up your endorphins ... Ditch your depression and FINALLY FEEL ALL AROUND GOOD!!

I found a wonderful new space for us to laugh indoors, the Body and Mind Builders, on Reade St
Accessible so many ways; A,C,E,J,M,Z,R,W,1,2,3,4,5,6 trains Plus the M1, M6 local MTA buses.
Get off at Chambers St. No station is more than 3 blocks away!
It is brand spanking new ... and is Eco-friendly!

This center is firmly dedicated to providing the safest and cleanest environment for you. They've carried this concept throughout the center's construction using:

* Zero VOC paint
* Recycled wood furniture and fixtures
* Bamboo floors throughout
* CF lighting
* Energy star appliances
* Low flush toilets
* Recycled paper used throughout
* All natural cleaners
* Filtered water available for free refills
* Although, we've tried to incorporate green technology wherever possible, we'd love to hear your thoughts on how we might make further improvements.


I look forward to laughing with you in this NEW beautiful space!
Please be aware there will be a small charge now that we're doing this indoors.

Hi Folks ... well it's all set.

We're going to giggle and guffaw at the Equinox located on Greenwich and 12th St tonight.

Here's what you are going to have to do to be admitted into this Equinox.

Click on the Equinox ad on this site ... it will direct you to a page which will give you a 3-day pass.
Make sure you pick the RIGHT LOCATION - Greenwich and 12th St.

Then print out your pass and bring it with you ... or they won't let you in!!

(Do you know they took away Justice Sotomayor's membership because she refused to show her pass!!)
HO HO hahaha
So they are very serious about this!

You can use this pass for 3 days ... so go before or after our LY MeetUP there to try out all of their facilities.
Why not! It's FREE.

You can only bring a guest if they download a FREE 3 DAY pass too!

Hi Folks ...
It's been a while since I posted a MeetUP ... as most of us can be sometimes ... I was busy busy busy!

This Laughter Yoga MeetUP will be happening in Washington Square Park, just prior to the REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET (at Judson Church - see map). We will meet right outside the church and walk into the park together to laugh our stress away! Also we'll boost our endorphins & T-cells & oxygenate our organs .... not to mention, it FEELS GOOD TOO!

If you have stuff that's cluttering up your life ... put it in a box or bag and bring it along ... so you can drop it off at the REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET after our Laughter Yoga exercises!

If it turns out to be a rainy day ... we will go inside the church and laugh on purpose!

Looking forward to Laughing with YOU!

I know this is a holiday ... and many of you may have taken off for this last weekend of summer (so to speak)

But if any of you are in town and want to come and laugh on my rooftop terrace ... I'd like it if you could!

Here are some of the benefits of laughter!

laughter lifts us up, helps us cope
laughter puts us in the moment
laughter gives life perspective
laughter lets us experience joyfulness
laughter builds self-confidence
laughter breaks down barriers
laughter makes us more likable
laughter helps us stay in love
laughter develops our sense of humor
laughter changes “who we are” for the better
laughter breaks down inhibition
laughter interrupts the power struggle

So let's go into the month in good spirits ... with less stress and more joy!

If you can or want to ...Please bring a light snack or small dish we can all share after our Laughter Yoga experience. I will have somethings to drink.

Cost: $1.00

As most of you who have participated in a Laughter Yoga gathering know, Dr Karatia, the creator of Laughter Yoga has used this methodology to promote World Peace.

The first Sunday in May is World Laughter Day all over the world, and we also end each Laughter Yoga session focusing on World Peace.

So tonight there is a gathering at Columbus Circle. A Vigil for Health Care Now. I am going to be there, along with about 3000 other people who care about this issue. Do you plan on being there?

I called this MeetUP slightly before 7, which is when this vigil starts, so we can find each other.
Let's meet at the entrance to the Time Warner Bldg on Columbus Circle. I'm going to try to get there by 6:45, but depending on the trains I might be a few minutes late ... but I will definitely get there before 7pm.

How many of you would like to meet me?

Please bring a candle and your laughter energy .... we'll gather in a circle and laugh for Health Care Now!!

I know this is short notice ... but since it won't be raining this night, I thought I'd offer you the opportunity to laugh for no reason.

Get some oxygen in your organs ... Bring down your blood pressure ... Assuage your stress ... Turbo charge your T-cells ... Edge up your endorphins ... and finally feel all-around good.

Please meet me to the right of the Shake Shack --- on the outside perimeter of the tables --- parallel to the 23rd St walkway, to the left of the Shake Shake line. Just look for my small silver folding bike ... I should be not too far away from it. (click the map to enlarge it - meet just north/west of #14 on the map)

Bring your friends or co-workers ~~ The more the merrier!!
