About
GETTING OUR DAILY "LAUGHTER GLOW" In the good old days, hearty belly laughs smoothed out life's daily ups and downs, and naturally wove communities together with great wellness. In today's complex world, we can dust off childhood giggles and fits of eye-tearing laughter and use them as powerful wellness tools. The playfulness of laughter, and the warm after glow of a good laugh, feel hugely satisfying!
Join me for a rolling 2-day immersion leader training to become a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader (CLYL). The class design is definitely unique- a highly DYNAMIC, fun, community experience nested in the safety and interplay of Dialogue-Education.

Founded by Dr. Kataria and his wife in Mumbai, India, Laughter Yoga (LY) combines the known health benefits of deep belly breathing exercises with playful activities for a great workout. A LY session if followed by guided visualizations (like the "humming bee") where we quiet the mind and enjoy waves of laughter nectar flowing through our body. Just as smiling can do more for your facial muscles than frowning, imagine what a hearty belly laugh can do! Laugh out loud with others and live life to the fullest!
