Come Join Our
Laughter Playshop: The Yoga of Silly
Accentuate the positive and activate your funny bone
Date & Time TBA
Refresh your whole being with soap suds of the giggles. It's no joke - laughter is an extreme stress-buster. With a gut-buster your muscles literally go limp. And improvement in blood flow after a laughter workout can equal improvements seen after a 30-minute workout. Who says laughter isn't hard work?!
Researchers find that laughing releases endorphins, the natural "pain killers" that contribute to our sense of well-being, counteracting effects of stress hormones and causing blood vessels to dilate. Immune system is boosted and disease-causing inflammation is reduced.
And there's much more to this good medicine! Researchers have also found it helps with type 2 diabetes because of a significantly smaller spike in blood sugar after a meal when laughter is for dessert.
