· Drop in, no appointment needed “It’s so easy to laugh for no reason at all; it’s contagious – and you feel great afterwards, both physically and mentally.” “Laughter Yoga is a simple idea: anyone can laugh for no reason
all. We don't need jokes, a sense of humor or comedies to laugh,”
explains Dr Kataria. We all enjoy a good laugh - and here is an opportunity to practice laughing in a safe environment. "When I am in a negative state, feeling tired, or just lazy, I tell myself to 'just show up at class'; and it is amazing, every time I leave energized and happy again!" Judy S., Comox "This is the best thing I have found to lift me up - and it lasts and lasts" Peter W., Nanaimo "I love to laugh!" Joanna, Vancouver, BC "It's helped my breathing a lot." Jim Swift, Courtenay If you like to laugh, come and join us. Invoke your laughter. We start off very simple with clapping, then chanting 'Ho ho, ha
ha ha" to simulate laughter, and then a few simple exercises and
yoga breathing. Soon the giggles become real laughter, which can
develop into a full belly laugh. Laughter "I tell people who a feeling a bit inhibited or shy, just fake it
'till you make it! It really works." An effective way to lift your spirits. Counteract depression with laughter, the best medicine. Boosts endorphins – just like a runner’s high. A little laughter goes a long way. Laugh locally, think globally. Laughter is contagious, let's start an epidemic!
