Laughter Wellness

Laughter heals. Laughter connects. Laughter grows.

It’s in our nature to laugh. We know this by watching how often babies and children laugh. Too often, however, as we step into the ego and responsibilities that come with maturity, we leave our inner children behind. How often do we hear from our elders who, when reflecting upon their lives, wistfully share, “I wish I would have taken more time to laugh and play”? I say, “let’s do right by our inner child and inner elder and get to the fun stuff now!”

When we make time to laugh, we honor that part that’s often hidden deep within us, that innermost self that is free and joyful. We let that innocent, unburdened inner child come out and play. In the process, we blow off steam, we free ourselves from the constraints of daily living, we generate new energy, and we bask in the warm connection we create when we share laughter. Who doesn’t crave these things?

Laughter Wellness helps you do just this! A mashup of guided skits with yogic breathing, and only the occasional gentle stretch, Laughter Wellness is based on two premises, discovered by Dr. Madan Kataria (the founder of Laughter Yoga): 1) We can laugh for no reason!, and 2) Laughter is contagious!

Laughter Wellness may help you feel happier and more optimistic, develop a positive mental attitude, improve coping skills, relieve stress and feel lighter, increase oxygen to the brain and body, relaxing muscles and increasing energy, boost your immune system, bond with others, connect with your inner child and release inhibitions. You’ll find yourself leaving a good Laughter Wellness event with a joybuzz: energized, hopeful, light, and free. You may also find yourself wondering, “what the heck just happened? And how can I get more?!”

If you’re interested in Laughter Wellness for yourself, your friends, or your team, I’d love to hear from you. You’ll be doing yourself - and the world - a big favor!
