Welcome to the JOY of Laughter Yoga

What is Laughter Yoga?
Developed by Dr. Kataria in 1995 as an incredibly fun and effective “wellbeing workout,” Laughter Yoga has become a worldwide phenomenon practiced by over 7,000 Laughter Clubs
in more than 70 countries.  Delight in a variety of laughter exercises, yogic breathing, and laughter meditation, guaranteed to release stress and tension, open your heart, calm your mind, boost your health, and joyfully infuse your life with an abundance of peace and positive energy.  Laughter Yoga does not involve jokes, humor, or comedy, and many studies have proven simulated laughter has the same truly remarkable psychological and physical benefits as
"real" laughter (and simulated laughter often quickly becomes wholeheartedly "real" laughter).  Practice the enlightening art
of spiritual play, and learn to laugh for no reason! 

Ignite, enliven, and infuse your life with health and happy hormones!

What does a Laughter Yoga session look like?
We begin by taking time to center, ground, arrive in body, mind, heart, and spirit, and become present to receive all of the many gifts and blessings available to us during the Laughter Yoga session.
We warm up with light stretching and breathing exercises.
I lead the group through a variety of delightful, playful, and
heart-opening Laughter Yoga exercises, connecting with and enJOYing yourself, others, and each present moment.
We ground in between exercises to chant "Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha."
We join in a Laughter Yoga meditation and allow laughter to flow freely from our hearts in an infinite wellspring of uninhibited joy.
We close with yoga nidra, a profoundly relaxing experience.

*Dressing comfortably is encouraged.



We will give you an abundance of reasons to laugh for no reason!

It is impossible to participate in
Laughter Yoga and not feel entirely uplifted, energized, and renewed. It's
an unavoidable biological response!



Make all sorts of smiling new friends!



It doesn't matter your age or background or if humor and wit
have never been your forte.
Laughter Yoga universally works
and has nothing to do with jokes.



When one smile appears on your face,
another appears in your heart.



Laughter Yoga is completely contagious and changes lives.
Looking for a fabulous boost physically? How about mentally? Emotionally? Socially? Spiritually?
How about them all?!
