Laughter Yoga Wellbeing Workshop
An hour and a half of rib-tickling, deep belly laughter including childlike playfulness, gibberish, improvisation, complete nonsense, meditation and dancing! The workshop is often followed by an optional social at a local cafe. Laughter yoga is a practice involving prolonged voluntary laughter along with breathing techniques that originate from Yoga. We usually laugh for between 3-5 seconds, in a laughter yoga session we will laugh for between 10-15 minutes of deep belly laughter. This is the type of laughter that gives us all the health benefits and the benefits will remain with us for a good 24 hours after the session! The body reacts in the same way whether the laughter is forced or natural, releasing the endorphin’s (happy hormones). It is these endorphin’s that kick in and fight stress, boost our immune system and make us feel good in so many ways. Laughter yoga is experienced in groups, with eye contact, yogic breathing and playfulness among participants. All that is required of the participants is a Willingness to Laugh!
