How much is it?

£6

First ever Laughter Yoga Club in Ebbw Vale Institute, Blaenau Gwent
Thriving Communities CIC is pleased to announce the launch of Laughter Yoga Wales led by Certified Laughter Yoga Leader & Teacher Mel Jones. If you want to bring more joy and laughter in your life, then come along to EVI’s Laughter Yoga Club and who knows, you might want to become a Laughter Yoga Leader yourself – we’d love you to join us in our mission of spreading Joy far and wide!

To introduce you, Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise routine which combines unconditional laughter with yogic deep breathing exercises (pranayama).  It is the only technique which allows adults to achieve sustained, hearty laughter without involving cognitive thought.  It bypasses the intellectual systems that normally act as a brake on natural laughter and it is also scientifically proven to enhance mental & physical wellbeing in multiple ways (including boosting the immune system and helping to manage and overcome stress). Like internal jogging, Laughter Yoga releases feel good chemicals like Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins and breathing and physical movement energises, recharges and relaxes us at the same time.

Monthly club starting Wednesday 28 May in EVI 5.30pm-6.30pm, just £6pp cash on the door.

Upcoming dates: Wednesday 11th June & Wednesday 16th July

Yoga mat is not essential but may be a personal preference.  *There will be a Laughter Yoga Meditation or grounding exercise to finish which can be done either lying down or seated on a chair. See you there!
