Lets Laugh Together!! Permission to Play!


Laughter Yoga is the combination of stretching, breathing exercises, and laughing for no reason! Laughter Yoga was started by Dr. Kataria in Mumbai India. Laughter is the best medicines. You're invited to come join us in a session of being comfortable in your body and laughing!

The benefits of laughing include reduced anxiety, improved sleep, digestion, lowered blood pressure,and more joy!

One minute of hearty laughter has the cardiac benefits of 9 minutes of working out on the rowing machine.

The class will include breathwork for cardiac health
group laughter yoga exercises, and relaxation

wear comfortable clothes to move in, and bring a water bottle.

Response to Face Yoga Post

I've been getting some great feedback about my last post on Face Yoga, including a blog posting and limerick written by my aunt. Check it here.

Yoga facial toning - for real!

Not Yoga exactly but this is just too cool to pass up....

My friend posted this on Facebook and I thought it was really interesting.

An authentically Jewish martial arts fighting technique. This guy has been practicing since he was 3 and says this system has been passed down in his family for generations. His uncles served as bodyguards to the first king of Jordan (King Abdallah). He has worked with law enforcement officials in Israel and chul, and is endorsed by the Bialer Rebbe and R' Itzchak Kaduri amongst others!

I have heard of an ancient Jewish breathing/stretching yoga-esque technique that some have rediscovered and will maybe do a post on that at some point.

Check out his website as well Abir Warrior Arts.

Enjoy!!
