* A Bonding experience *
Its like nothing you have ever done before (but really... you have)
A perfect opportunity to bond and lift your spirit, mood and pop your body up!
Connect again with your inner child, bond with new friends and strengthen your relationships.... abolish stress, boost your immune system and....
Help change the WORLD!!!
Events go on for about one hour or a bit longer depending on the needs.
Ana works as the facilitator and the secessions are divided into five stages;
- Introduction: "What is Laughing Yoga? and who are you?" an explanation on the health, psychological, physical and spiritual, benefits of laughter; a brief introduction of the group.
- Warm up: an arrangement of attractive and easy to follow short exercises that will get everyone going.
- Connection: We invite our inner child to come out and play and move to a more creative and theatrical collection of laughing exercises which involve everyone and facilitate more chuckles and giggles which will have everyone laughing of their chairs ready to start rolling around on the floor.
- Laughter Meditation: an opportunity to laugh and let go
- Breath, relax, reflect and farewell.
"My aim is to deliver each group and individual a unique and genuine experience. At first, you may need to bring on the laughter by faking it or 'forcing' it, though nothing should ever be too hard or hurt you in any way. Eventually, your brain will not be able to tell the difference, and soon you will be laughing away for absolutely no reason at all! Except perhaps... the simple fact that you are laughing!" - Ana Strawberry
*If you are possessed by laughter, thinking stops*
