Take a Pause… with Healing Laughter – May 16th – virtual
upcoming dates: Thursday, May 16th, 2024
time: 3-4:30pm (PT)/4-5:30pm(MST)/5-6:30pm(CT)/6-7:30pm(EST)
We invite you to take a pause… to come up for some air from your grief. It can feel challenging to access laughter during tragedy in our lives. And we welcome you to a supportive and gentle space with Eileen to explore breathing exercises, childlike play, and a little pause from the heaviness of our grief.
Laughter, coupled with varied movement and Yogic breathing brings oxygen to our body and brain making you feel healthier and more energetic and can help when we’re feeling “stuck” emotionally. No traditional yoga poses are used and no experience is required.
Suggested Donation $20 Registration is required.
All are welcome!
What is Laughter Yoga?
Developed by Dr. Madan Kataria in 1995, Laughter Yoga is a unique concept that involves a series of Laughter Yoga exercises using childlike playfulness. Accessible by all ages and abilities, anyone can laugh without relying on jokes, drama, or comedy.
