Come experience a fun and playful technique based on an ancient practice. Laughter Yoga uses our body’s natural abilities to laugh and breathe to maximize their restorative properties. It is documented that laughter releases “happy chemicals” in our brains and bodies that elevate our mood, reduce pain and relieve stress. Laughter also boosts our immunity and much more. Our laughter session will be led by Ellen Klein, Registered Nurse and Certified Laughter Yoga Leader and Trainer. You can expect gentle stretches, laughter and breathing exercises followed by grounding exercises including a guided meditation to provide a complete experience. Have drinking water close by and wear comfortable clothing. No yoga mats necessary. We hope you’ll join us for this laughter-filled session!
Please RSVP to Melissa at: (847) 510-2060.
