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.
