Michelle Edwards, certified Laughter Yoga Leader, will be offering weekly Laughter Yoga sessions. November’s dates and times: Nov. 17th, 3-4pm and Nov. 24th, 1-2pm.
Laughter yoga is a wellness practice that combines deliberate, simulated laughter with deep yogic breathing exercises (pranayama). It requires no jokes, comedy, or physical yoga poses. It’s based on the idea that our bodies can’t tell the difference between real and pretend laughter. Playful laughter quickly turns into genuine, contagious laughter through group eye contact. Sessions will combine childlike playfulness, clapping, chanting ("ho-ho, ha-ha-ha"), stretching, and diaphragmatic breathing. So many health benefits! Suggested donation: $5
