I had a chance to go to a laughter class. What a crazy idea! What a fun idea! Inspired action took over so I took some ‘me time’ with a friend and away we went. There is safety in numbers, right? I had no idea what to expect.
We were greeted with a warm “Welcome to Laughter Yoga.” I have always heard yoga has so many benefits. For sime time now I’d been thinking about learning yoga minus the tights and leotard. So this served as a perfect solution without the “uniform”. As it turned out, it was also a wonderful way to spend 45 minutes. The change in your mood, thoughts, energy and vibration shifted in a matter of minutes. Laughter Yoga requires that you look into the laughing faces of your classmates. I quite enjoyed moving around, laughing at myself and feeling totally rejuvenated in the process. You might think it’s easy laughing for 45 minutes. Let me tell you that I ened up peeling off two layers of clothing because I was so hot! What a workout!
