Laughter Yoga
Weekly sessions for everyone, combining deep breathing, laughter exercises and gentle stretching to get rid of stress and worry, and it's fun and a little crazy.
Laughter is the body’s natural antidote to stress and laughter. Yoga teaches you to breathe properly, release tension and stress, and feel good and happy at the same time. It's the perfect exercise for stressful times and it's fun.
There's no need to book, just come along with your laughing gear and comfortable clothing.
Please note that you will not be expected to turn yourself into a pretzel, the yoga part of laughter yoga is about deep diaphragmatic breathing.
Here are some more health benefits of laughter:
- The brain and body are flooded with oxygen.

- The immune system is stimulated.
- Internal organs are given a massage.
- The respiratory system is cleaned out.
- Cardiovascular workout.
- Blood pressure returns to normal.
- Feel-good chemicals, endorphin and serotonin, increase.
- Stress hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, decrease.
