Laughter Yoga
Dates to be determined
Laughter Yoga combines interactive laughter exercises with a focus on breath and both calming and playful movements. Most often the laughter in a laughter yoga session is initiated in the group with full body laughter exercises. It includes clapping, eye contact, a variety of facial expressions, chanting or shouting, and more. Typically the simulated or somewhat fake laughter will turn into real, genuine, and contagious laughter that brings much more oxygen to our body and brain (https://www.robertrivest.com/).
The session will be offered 2-3 times a semester.
Note: This session will accept 35 registrants per offering
