Laughter
IS
the
BEST
medicine.

"I tell people who are feeling a bit inhibited or shy, just fake it 'till you make it! It really works."
Alan Pattinson

--------------------
An effective way to lift your spirits. Counteract depression with laughter, the best medicine.

--------------------
Boosts endorphins – just like a runner’s high.

Get on the Laff train - your inner body will thank you!

-------------------
A little laughter goes a long way.

-------------------
Laugh locally, think globally.

------------------
Laughter is contagious, let's start an epidemic!

-----------------

Come and laugh with us. Laugh better, feel better, be better!

"When we laugh, our pain and suffering are put on hold and we are completely engulfed in a sense of well-being. Laughter makes us feel good both mentally and physically. And laughter is contagious, which makes this work especially well."

About Laughter Yoga sessions:
· Drop in, no appointment needed

· About 1 hour

· Wear comfortable clothes

· It's "internal jogging" without the side effects.

· Bring a water bottle, if you like, and your laugh!

· Non-religious, non-political, non-competitive, non-exploitive, non-perfectionistic, non-threatening, non-competitive, non-cult, non-profit!

· No yoga poses, just breathing and laughing

· No membership fees, although donations to help cover costs are appreciated.

· Scent-free please. As we can do strong breathing in close quarters, perfumes or scents bother some of us. This includes hair spray, lotions, fabric softener, deodorants, anything with scent. We have members who are really sensitive.

“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 initiate laughter as an exercise in a group, and when we make eye contact with others, it soon turns into real, contagious laughter.”

--------------
We all enjoy a good laugh - and here is an opportunity to practice laughing in a safe environment.

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.

There is nothing like a good belly laugh!
