Laughter
Yoga
[laf-ter yoh-guh]
An exercise involving prolonged voluntary laughter based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides similar physiological and psychological benefits as spontaneous laughter.
How It Works
Laughter Yoga is usually done in groups and may start with warm-up techniques like stretching, chanting, clapping, eye contact and body movement to relax inhibitions and encourage playfulness.
​
The two main aspects are breathwork and laughter exercises.
Breathing exercises are used to prepare the lungs for laughter, and involve deep belly or diaphragm breathing, like what's used in traditional styles of yoga.
Laughter exercises are designed to lead everyone into laughter, and are easy and playful, and may involve acting and visualization.
Often, intentional laughter becomes real, contagious laughter!
"Breathe in
& laugh it out."

Hi! I'm Mari
I love all things whimsical, fun and happy!
I've been practicing Laughter Yoga since 2006 and became certified as a leader in 2019.
​
Years ago, I made a conscious decision to focus on my mental health and well being. Laughter Yoga has become a staple in my life in working towards a healthier lifestyle.
​
I would like nothing more than to encourage others to laugh everyday as well as inspire, motivate and show them laughter like they’ve never experienced before.
Laugh It Out
The science behind the benefits of laughter have proven to be far reaching.
Couple these benefits with some deep breathing and child like play and you are on your way to increasing your fun while decreasing your stress!

Leave your stress at the door and bring your heartiest laugh. You may be surprised how much you enjoy it!

So, come laugh with me!
