Laughter Yoga, founded by Madan Kataria, M.D. in India in 1995, is a type of exercise which is based on the premise that the body does not differentiate between genuine and simulated laughter. Laughter sustained for 15-20 minutes provides many health and emotional benefits BUT, in order to laugh that length of time, a leader providing one exercise after another is needed. We will do exercises to help you learn to laugh to music and end with a relaxation period. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and bring a yoga mat or a blanket if you would like to lie down. All laughter Yoga exercises are done seated or standing, so you don't have to be in any kind of shape to take part. Instructor is Mary Coomer.

Laughter Yoga, founded by Madan Kataria, M.D. in India in 1995, is a type of exercise which is based on the premise that the body does not differentiate between genuine and simulated laughter. Laughter sustained for 15-20 minutes provides many health and emotional benefits BUT, in order to laugh that length of time, a leader providing one exercise after another is needed. We will do exercises to help you learn to laugh to music and end with a relaxation period. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and bring a yoga mat or a blanket if you would like to lie down. All laughter Yoga exercises are done seated or standing, so you don't have to be in any kind of shape to take part. Instructor is Mary Coomer.
