Laughter Yoga

Laughter is the best medicine–for all ages!

With Charles Koppel, Certified Laughter Yoga Instructor


Every 2nd Sunday starting Dec 8, 2024 from 11-12PM

In the Serenity Room

Join us for a fun opportunity to laugh and nourish the inner child–no skills or prior experience needed!

Laughter Yoga does not require physical poses or strain on the body and is accessible to everyone.

What to expect: 

Laughter yoga sessions begin with warm-up exercises that loosen you up, release nervous energy, and encourage a free flow of laughter. The below is a loose overview that can include some or all of the following per class:

  • Welcome
  • Gentle Warm-Up
  • Laughter and Breathing Exercises
  • Laughter Meditation
  • Grounding Activity

Other benefits of Laughter Yoga: 

  • Improves mood and brings more laughter & joy to life
  • Decreases physical, mental and emotional stress:
  • Improves health and vitality:
  • Builds connection with others:
  • Helps keep a positive attitude in challenging times

What participants should bring:  Anything comfortable in which to move. An extra layer that you can easily remove is a good idea, too, because I will have you up and moving for a large chunk of the time. You are welcome to bring a water bottle. Optional: Yoga mat to lie upon for the Laughter Mediation toward the end of the session (some will be provided).

 

Event Fee: Suggested donation of $10-$20 appreciated

About the instructor:

Charles Koppel became a Reiki Master in 2021 and has been practicing Reiki since 2011. He also leads Laughter Yoga classes for all ages and communities. Charles holds a Master’s Degree in Psychology (MSPsy), and has been an elementary school teacher for 33 years. Charles believes that laughter is the best medicine, and having worked part time as an EMT, Charles has always enjoyed helping others. He finds that his work through Laughter Yoga and Reiki provides healing benefits to both the recipient and the provider! Charles also enjoys providing a highly adaptable and inclusive wellness offering through Laughter Yoga, as it does not require any specific poses or demands on the body. There are no skills required to participate in Laughter Yoga, simply the willingness to approach the experience with a childlike playfulness. According to Kurt Vonnegut, “Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.”
