Laughter Yoga

Welcome gigglers to the Laughter Yoga club based in Hertford.

We get together monthly to literally laugh for no reason.

The intention is to bring people together through laughter. It is for those who would like to try something new, bring more laughter into their lives, be silly and learn to take themselves lightly.

During the session, we will be warming up with rhythmic clapping followed by Laughter Yoga exercises. This involves acting out daily activities using laughter as the language, (as we do not use the spoken word) this is then followed by a deep breath before moving on to the next exercise.

Every session is different from group sizes ranging from 5 to 25 so the more the merrier!!

During the close of the session, we end with a laughter meditation, which may involve laughter, humming or a breathing technique.

Now I know what you're thinking, 'This all sounds a bit strange!!' to be honest it is much easier to participate in a session than for me to try and explain it!!

I personally like to think of laughter yoga as a workout for your internal organs. The health benefits include a mood booster, strengthening the immune system, getting your lymphatic system moving, increasing your energy, building confidence and connecting you with others.

You do not have to bring anything to the session apart from yourself and an open mind.
You would benefit from loose-fitting clothing but it is not necessary. Just wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

There is time after the session for a cuppa and a chin wag with your fellow gigglers if you so wish.

Doors open at 6.55 pm for a 7 pm start and the session finishes around 8 pm. The cost is £11 which is paid via this link https://www.thesecretspace.org.uk/workshops/laughter-yoga

Look forward to laughing with you.
If you have any questions about the session, please contact me.
