Next month we will be introducing a new class called Laughing Yoga to the community. We found a nice woman who is offering a free introductory class to us. She came and discussed it with our Fitness Director and me, and it sounds very interesting. I thought that I'd share it with you now and share a few links to sites on the Internet that tell you about it. I also included one that is an article about seniors using laughing yoga. I'd love to hear from you if you have had such a class in your community and if the residents like it or not. I will post more after we've had the class.

ReplyDeleteHi. Thanks for the comment and the reminder that I wanted to share how it went in my community. We had about 30 attend. They laughed, stretched and did the yoga breathing. I liked watching the late comers try to understand why they were laughing at things that were not really that funny and why they ALL laughed. Most of the late ones, did join the group and the laughter. I really thought it was terrific when after the class was finished the giggles and smiles continued into the lobby of the community. We will have another class soon! :-) - Martha
