Laughter yoga
Tutor: Tess Sanderson
Laughter is good for the soul, but what happens if we don’t have much to laugh about? Laughter yoga was developed 20 years ago by Indian medical doctor, Madan Kataria, who realised how much quicker his patients recovered when he involved laughter in their care. The practice is based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides similar physiological and psychological benefits as spontaneous laughter.
Join Tess, the Virtual Village Hall’s resident laughter yoga instructor, as she leads a session to re-energise and relax ourselves. Take part standing or seated.
