Laughter Yoga

$8

with Denise Macaronas and Marcia Jackson

Calendar Nov 30, 2023 at 1 pm

Online

Learn to laugh at nothing at all and gain all the benefits that laughter has to offer. Previous experience is not necessary as the yoga portion includes deep and slow breaths along with some stretches – no yoga poses.

Playful laughter fuels positive energy, creativity, and connection. It can boost immune functions; increase pain tolerance; release 'feel good hormones' that can change our mood to promote social bonding and positive emotions.

Laughter Yoga is a practice anyone can do at any time. In this Zoom class, exercises can all be done while seated. Please come with the ability to "think outside the box"
