Laughter Yoga

Monday 8th June
at the Stiles Community Centre,
Antrim,
BT41 1LZ
from 11am-12pm

It has been scientifically proven that the body cannot tell the difference between
fake and real laughter!
Laughter Yoga combines the concept of ‘laughing for no reason’ with Yogic
breathing (Pranayama). Laughter is created within the group by making eye contact
and cultivating childlike playfulness. Soon the fake laughter develops into
unconditional laughter!
Did you know that the majority of visits to the doctor today are stress
related?
Laughter Yoga shows us how to manage the stress in our lives.
