SUMMARY:Introduction to Laughing Yoga with Heidi Smith\, Instructor at Paul Nigra Center
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about this fun and cathartic wellness practice!\n\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome to join instructor Heidi Smith for an introduction to the practice of laughing yoga!\n\nThis whimsical wellness exercise was started in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria\, a medical doctor from India\, and his wife Madhuri\, a yoga instructor. Today\, there are thousands of laughter yoga clubs in 72 countries.\n\nThese sessions embrace the concept of laughing for no reason - without humor\, jokes or comedy. Practitioners initiate laughter as an exercise in a group\, with eye contact and childlike playfulness that turns into contagious laughter. Since the body can't differentiate between fake and real laughter\, we get the same benefits from both!\n\nThe laughter exercises are combined with yoga breathing techniques for a rejuvenating and balanced session that lowers stress\, improves moods\, strengthens the respiratory system and immune systems\, and builds community connections between attendees.\n\n*Members receive a 20% discount. Don't forget to enter the promotional code in the registration window! Please be aware that no refunds or exchanges will be issued for classes or events unless it is canceled by the Nigra Arts Center.
