Laughter Yoga

It's a Laughter Yoga Club - and we're not joking - we're just laughing! Laughter Yoga Club is a place where folks get together to do relaxation exercises based on laughter. No jokes, clowning, puns or put-downs are used in the commission of this type of laughter – you don't need any joke telling ability or a great sense of humor - just the willingness to laugh, have fun and relax. We use some gentle breathing and stretching exercises combined with everyday activities to simulate laughter in order to stimulate joyful, wholesome laughter.

We laugh with you, never at you, for laughter's sweet sake. This form of "laughing-at-the-sound-of-laughter" is based on Hasya (laughter) yoga and current research. Our fearless leader will be Dave Russell, CLYL (Certified Laughter Yoga Leader). Dave has been certified by the American School of Laughter Yoga.

We are modeling this blog off the ACLA Programs and Performers blog that features children and family programs.

Featured programs will both those done by outside presenters and those created by library staff.
