Connect with a natural sense of joy, pleasure and ease in
your body, heart and mind through a unique fusion of gentle asana, meditation
and Laughter Yoga. We’ll take a break from the seriousness of city life and current
events while enjoying an evening full of playfulness and lightness, restoring
our innate ability to be happy, peaceful and connected.
Laughter taps our inner well of joy and connects us with
others like nothing else. Most of us love to laugh, but many of us don’t do it
enough or are dependent on funny movies or other forms of comedy to stimulate
laughter. Laughter Yoga liberates us from this dependency and offers the
freedom to laugh anywhere at anytime, gaining numerous mental, emotional and
physiological benefits, almost instantly. Simple and fun Laughter Yoga
exercises surface our innate child-like playfulness and help us access
unconditional laughter, while offering the opportunity to form stronger social
bonds, feeling a deeper heart connection to all beings.
Some of the scientifically proven benefits of Laughter
Yoga include:
- Stronger immunity.
- More oxygen to the blood and brain.
- Abdominal toning.
- Release of muscular tension.
- Decrease in physical and emotional pain (from injury, illness or childbirth).
- Increase in the “feel good” hormones: endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin as well as the neurotransmitter serotonin.
No yoga experience is necessary, just the willingness to
breathe, LAUGH and have fun! Everyone can benefit from this accessible practice.
Cost: $25
