Let's Laugh! Victoria Dym, author and Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, will lead the group in this intro to laughter yoga session.
Laughter Yoga is simple yet profound, and everyone can laugh. Recommended for ages 18 - 105. No mats or special clothing is required. Walk away refreshed and with a positive mind. Let's share a moment of pure joy. When's the last time you had a good laugh?
Laughter Yoga combines unconditional laughter with yogic breathing (Pranayama). Anyone can Laugh Out Loud, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits. No mats or special clothing, one chair per participant arranged in a circle.
Laughter Yoga workshops allow its participants to learn how to create true mirthful laughter from within. Sound research has shown time and again the benefits of laughter, including:
* Relief of stress
* Stronger immune system
* Increased attentiveness
* A positive mind
* Improved mood
And laughter is fun!
