Laughter Yoga Ontario

We started our club on Wednesday August 3, 2005, but now meet on Tuesdays, so when August 3rd turned out to be on a Tuesday this year, I wanted to celebrate with some laughter in the park, since we don't have regular indoor sessions in the summer. We will be having our official celebration when we start our laughter season at the Seniors Centre on Sept 7. This was our 3rd time laughing outdoors and each time the weather prediction was for rain and stormy weather, and it did not rain!

Although a number people planned to join us, their plans changed and instead we were joined by 5 new people who all had a great time. One club member brought a friend who did yoga - she said that the hoho hahaha chant reminded her of kapal bhati and she was surprised by all the stretching and deep breathing while also enjoying the laughter exercise. The other four new people came from a support group for caregivers of people with Alzheimer's. I was recently contacted by their leader to come and do laughter yoga for the group in September and in the meantime she shared the news of our laughter session in the park so some decided to try it out right away ... YAY!
