Laugh Pact List: February 20, 2020
Hello! Welcome to the first Laugh Pact List!
This list is a weekly curation of Laughter Yoga news that includes articles, videos, and happenings. You can find it here every Thursday, or you can sign up to have it sent to you through email.
Perhaps you’re wondering WHY I’m compiling this weekly list? The mission of Laughter Yoga Together is to make Laughter Yoga alone EASY and FUN. That’s why I make session videos that you can do at home and sing-alone songs that you can enjoy alone or do with your Laughter Club. (Psssssst… The first song will be released on Tuesday, February 25th! However, when you sign up for the Laugh Pact List, you can be among the first to hear it and download it for free right now!)
To keep myself updated and inspired, I search the web, social media, and YouTube for the latest Laughter Yoga news. So I thought to myself, why not share links to the awesomeness I find? This also happens to fit in swimmingly to help folks keep the Laugh Pact.
And so… without further ado… I present to you… the Laugh Pact List!
