5 Benefits of Laughter Yoga
1) Improves mood and brings more laughter & joy to life: "Motion creates emotion" (and emotions change the way we see the world).
-Accesses the body's natural pharmacy (such as endorphins).
-Encourages lightheartedness and playfulness.
2) Decreases physical, mental and emotional stress:
-Good cardiac and aerobic workout.
-Decreases stress hormones: cortisol and epinephrine.
3) Improves health and vitality:
-Oxygenates the body and brain
-Massages the internal organs
-Supports immune system health
-Provides natural pain relief
-Reduces stress which contributes to or exacerbates many illnesses including chronic disease
4) Builds connection with others:
-Laughter is a positive energy that connects people
5) Helps keep a positive attitude in challenging times:
-Is a physical manifestation of optimism
-Helps us to deal with challenging situations & negative people
-Not about making sadness, fear and anger bad—but rather gives us more buoyancy to experience these without getting stuck there.
What participants should bring: Anything comfortable in which to move. An extra layer that you can easily remove is a good idea, too, because I will have you up and moving for a large chunk of the time. You are welcome to bring a water bottle. Optional: Yoga mat to lie upon for the Laughter Mediation toward the end of the session.
