Laugh Pact List

Laugh Pact: Celebrate Life

Dear Laugh Pact Friends,

On December 3rd, my dad died from COVID-19 complications. While my heart is very heavy, I’m happy to share that I managed to record a Laughter Yoga Session yesterday. I haven’t laughed this much for quite a while and I must admit: it felt great! This one is dedicated to my dad. I picked exercises in honor of him. It’s a different, quite personal approach to Laughter Yoga… I really hope you like it.

Laughter Yoga Session: Celebrate Life will go public on Friday, December 18th. I’m sharing it with you now as a thank you for your support.

I plan to take some time for grieving and to celebrate the holidays, so my video schedule will still be irregular. I’ll send the next Laugh Pact List email in January. Thank you so much for your patience with me.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Sending love and laughter your way… please take care and laugh on.

Laugh Pact: Personal Update

Dear Laugh Pact Friends,

This message is a day early because I have a moment right now… I have a very personal update to share with you… I don’t think I’ll be able to maintain my regular video schedule for a little bit. My dad was diagnosed with Covid-19. He’s in the hospital ICU now. His health is declining.

I recorded this Coherent Breathing video when my dad was stable… and I’m happy to share it with you.

I won’t have a video to share on Friday… maybe next week. I’ll try. This is definitely a test for my laughter practice… I don’t know if I can bear a Laughter Yoga session right now… I have continued pranayama. I also find playing and writing music helpful right now. It feels right. My dad has always supported and enjoyed my music.

Thank you so much for your support. Sending lots of love to you and yours.

Please take care and laugh on,
💗 Kara

Laugh Pact: Connect with Your Breath

👋 Hello Laugh Pact Pack!

I’ve been focused on breathing lately and it’s wonderful. I just finished reading a book that I highly recommend: Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor. It’s an easy read, compelling story, science class, history lesson, and it has an appendix that fully explains all of the exercises explored in the book. If you’re like me, you’ll find yourself flipping to the appendix to learn the exercises as you learn their history and why they’re valuable to do.

Meanwhile, I’ve been working with Laughter Yoga Master Trainer Duncan Cook on a new video series: Laughter Yoga Pranayama. We started with Kapalabhati last week and just released Anulom Vilom this week. As Duncan taught me, the two exercises go very well together. I’ve been doing them every morning. Please give them a try!

One more thing I’m excited to share… tomorrow… Friday, November 20th, a new Laughter Yoga song will be released! It’s called “Holiday Time: 4 Elements of Joy” and I’m super-excited for you to hear it! If you subscribe on YouTube and to click the notification bell 🔔, you’ll be notified when “Holiday Time” and other videos are released.

And now…without further ado… some Laughter Yoga news!

Take care & LAUGH ON!

Laugh Pact List: Trick-Or-Treat?

Robert Brault Quote👋 Hello Laugh Pact Pals!

I LOVE Halloween. I also LOVE how childlike playfulness is encouraged in Laughter Yoga. So I suppose it’s no wonder why this Robert Brault quote spoke to me. Does it speak to you?

I challenge you to embrace childlike playfulness and look for the “brightly-lit front porch” this Halloween month. To help make it easy, check out the Halloween Laugh Along video I released last week. You can also listen to the audio on all digital music sites (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.). And next week I’ll be sharing a Halloween-themed Laughter Yoga Session and a Take 5 Session. I guarantee that they will be far more silly than spooky.

I hope you enjoy today’s Laugh Pact List. There are upcoming trainings to check out, podcasts to hear, articles to read, and session videos to get you laughing. Lots of treats are in store for those who choose to partake.

Happy Halloween & LAUGH ON!

Laugh Pact List: Happiness Within

👋 Hello Laugh Pact Pack!

With Laughter Yoga, we ask ourselves and others to choose to laugh. This laughter quickly becomes natural, genuine laughter. From there, spontaneous feelings of joy emerge. I think Andrew Weil’s quote is a great description of how Laughter Yoga creates joy.

I hope you enjoy today’s Laugh Pact List. Let’s create more and more joy!

Take care & LAUGH ON!

Laugh Pact List: Give Joy

Joy Quote - Eleanor Roosevelt👋 Hello Laugh Pact Pack!

As Laughter Yoga enthusiasts, I think we can deeply relate to this Eleanor Roosevelt quote. The cycle of joy is easily demonstrated through the contagious effects of laughter. With our laughter, we give joy AND receive it. I hope the picks in today’s Laugh Pact List help you both feel and give joy.
