“Laughter as a Tool for a Healthful Life,” at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City
Sunday, October 16, 2022, 10:00am |
October 16, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “Laughter as a Tool for a Healthful Life”
Rebecca Summer and Mary Ann Finn will present a program on the many health benefits of laughter and will lead a short laughter yoga session.
Summer and Finn believe the simple act of laughter decreases stress, boosts the immune system, increases the oxygen level in the blood, relaxes the muscles and calms the mind.
“Everybody can benefit from introducing more laughter into their lives. For children, laughter often comes easily… but as we grow up, this skill can get a bit rusty and need some attention,” Finn said.
Sumner added, “Meeting to do laughter yoga as a group enhances the sense of community and just makes it all more fun.”
Summer and Finn trained with Sebastian Gendry of the American School of Laughter Yoga. They have led many laughter yoga sessions over the years in various local locations both indoors and out.
Currently the Silver City Lotus Center holds space for Laughter Yoga with a weekly Zoom session on Mondays from 11:00 -11:15 am which is open to the public and free or by donation to the Lotus Center.
There are speakers on the patio if you wish to enjoy the service outside.
