Why do people LOVE Laughter Yoga? It's simple and effective!
NO YOGA POSES- Go at your own pace.
All exercises can be performed seated, standing or moving about the room.
It's fun and can be practiced by all ages and people of all cultures and backgrounds.

It is non religious and non political. All are welcome!

Laughter Yoga is the combination of:

1. laughter exercises (based on everyday situations rather than on jokes & comedy). We laugh intentionally - for our HEALTH!
2. deep yogic breathing exercises (no yoga poses!) , some stretching and simple movements
3. a yoga nidra mindfulness meditation (we end our laughter practice with a short grounding and peaceful meditation)

Why practice Laughter Yoga?
Here are just a few benefits: reduction of stress hormones (cortisol) , improved mood and fosters social connections/reduces feelings of loneliness, energizes, boosts immunities, fosters overall well being for body, mind & spirit. It feels awesome to laugh like a child again!!!

If you are able to perform mild aerobic exercise and have the willingness to laugh, then you are all set!

Wear comfortable clothing, and have a bottle of water handy. Bring a family member or friend!
