Laughter is good for you! Join Cath and friends for sessions at the Victory Community Centre. Occurs fortnightly from 13 Jan. Cost $3.There are all sorts of benefits to be gained from Laughter Yoga, from reducing stress and anxiety to improving mood, boosting immunity and increasing pain tolerance. It’s also an amazing way to meet and connect with new people.
Unlike traditional yoga, Laughter Yoga doesn't involve complicated poses or extensive meditation. Instead, it's based on the idea that voluntary laughter can provide the same health benefits as natural laughter. During a Laughter Yoga session, participants engage in intentional laughter exercises and breathing techniques, often in a group setting where laughter becomes contagious.
Laughter Yoga is based on the principle that the body can't distinguish between real and fake laughter-both types offer similar health benefits. When we laugh, our brain releases endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones, which reduce stress and enhance mood.
Bring something to lie on for relaxation at the end. For more information call Cath on 03 545 1207.
