Laugh Pact: Laugh for Your Own Joy
Dear Laugh Pact Friends,
When I was looking for a quote about spring, I came upon this lovely gem from Oscar Wilde. I immediately thought, “we laugh for our own joy.” And it made me smile.
Here’s a selection of new Laughter Yoga Sessions, educational videos, articles, books and events. I hope they help you smile and laugh for your own joy!
One very special event that’s coming up is Slash Coleman’s “Redefining Addiction & Recovery Through Laughter Yoga” Zoom workshop on April 7th. Slash is an excellent teacher and storyteller… he also happens to be a super nice guy. All workshop proceeds benefit Laughter Yoga USA, a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization (full disclosure: I volunteer with Laughter Yoga USA). I highly recommend checking it out!
Take care & LAUGH ON!

Laughing with Molly: Sunday, April 11 at 2 PM Central Time / FREE
In Laughter Yoga, we choose to laugh – not because anything is particularly funny – but just because we can. We accomplish this through a series of simple exercises (clapping, breathing, affirmations, and laughter) that will leave you feeling great, thanks to the D.O.S.E. of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins we generate! The sessions last about 30 minutes.

Dear Laugh Pact Friends,
Have you been laughing more?

They are also the founders of LifeSkills, have an inspiring YouTube channel AND are delightful people. I’m totally looking forward to reading this book!

It is with great pleasure that I present this Yoga Nidra Guided Meditation. Yoga Nidra is a powerful practice that provides complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. This 29 minute guided meditation includes setting your intention (Sankalpa), a body scan, breath awareness, and a beach visualization. It features a gentle, hypnotic soundtrack that I composed and designed to support the script and help you become deeply relaxed.
