Laughter Yoga: Learn fun, hilarious and energizing ways to generate uplifting laughter from within yourself. Dr. Kataria, the founder, has developed a form of yoga that incorporates laughter to increase physical and mental well-being. It strengthens the immune system, reduces stress and elevates endorphins and much more. We breathe, we clap and we laugh. We have eye contact with everyone in the group. Even if you don't feel like laughing you can do it anyway. Fake laughter is fine, you will experience the same benefits. Cost will be $10 for a walk-in, or take it as a part of your class package.
