When we laugh the body releases endorphins; elevating our mood, relaxing our our bodies and strengthening our minds. When we feel stressed our body releases adrenaline and cortisol; stress chemicals that cause imbalance and disease in the body. The good news, and the magic behind laughter yoga is that our brains don't know the difference between fake laughter and real laughter. Ha ha ha. In this practice we use playful exercises, games and fake laughter that usually turns into real laughter. But whether it does or not is not important. Through the practice of "faking" or truly laughing we enjoy the physical benefits of increased blood circulation, oxygenation and immune enhancement. Laughter relieves stress, eases fear and anxiety, increases creativity, alertness and memory, uplifts the mood and increases strength and resilience in challenging times.
"We don't laugh because we're happy, we're happy because we laugh." - William James
In this interactive workshop, we will explore deeper levels of joy and bliss through the practice of laughter, play and meditation. Most people would say they want to be happy but what are we actually doing to get there? Through laughter, conversation and guided visualization we will uncover and connect with the bliss that is our true nature.
You will learn tools to ease fear and anxiety, increase creativity, alertness and memory, uplift the mood and increase strength and resilience in challenging situations.
Magic and play re-emerge in our lives.
Come with an open heart and mind. And get ready to get happy.
This will be an ongoing event. Check back soon for more details!
