After laughing and playing with this fabulous group, you will leave energized and relaxed. Lift your mood, reduce stress, lower blood pressure and boost your immune system while you have fun. How cool is that!
Laughter Yoga combines playful easy laughter exercises with some yogic breathing. It was invented by Dr. Madan Kataria, an MD from India in 1995. There are now over 6000 Laughter Clubs around the world spreading peace and joy through laughter! See www.laughteryoga.org for more info.

Laughing with others is priceless. The Oakland Lifefire Laughter Club is a sliding scale of $10-20--suggested fee of at least $15 to cover my costs.
This laughter club meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month.
Our group has been meeting since January 2007. An average of about 10-15 people usually attend.
