In honor of World Laughter Day, join us for a special Laughter Yoga session designed to lift your mood and recharge your energy.

Laughter Yoga is a gentle, playful practice that helps reduce stress, boost energy, and increase joy. Despite the name, it doesn’t involve yoga poses— the “yoga” comes from mindful breathing and light movement, combined with playful exercises that encourage natural, sustained laughter. Sessions include simple, short activities, breathing exercises, and lots of intentional laughter in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.

It’s easy and accessible for everyone—you can even participate from a chair. You don’t need to be flexible or funny to join—just a willingness to laugh and celebrate the spirit of World Laughter Day together.

Be sure to wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle if you’d like. Feel free to bring a yoga mat or beach towel to use instead of a chair.
