Our classes are composed of a series of exercises done in a group to relieve stress, unlock creativity, and energize the mind and body. We use laughter as an exercise using basic yoga and breath (pranayama) and specific, playful, everyday life scenarios to create lightness and a new perspective.
Laughter…Plato hated it. The bible discouraged it. The school you went to, probably, banned it. In our classes we will delve into the power of laughter as enlightenment tool (lighten up tool) to deal with everyday stresses, embrace our choice to be joyful in all areas of life, and to live in the present moment without needing to learn anything new or complicated.
In our classes we use laughter to engage both the sympathetic and parasympathetic which energizes and relaxes the body and mind due to the high levels of oxygen intake. We infuse everyday situations with play and laughter and uncover the union with ourselves, others, and the universe.
