Joyful Breath Laughter Yoga
Joyful Breath Laughter Yoga
February 14, 2026 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
The Buttonwood Tree, 605 Main St, Middletown, CT 06457, USA
More Info / Contact
This program is offered to assist you in bringing more joy and greater health into your life. Our time together will consist of gentle stretching, simple qigong movements and a guided meditation led by David Schroeder and laughter exercises led by Anne-Marie McEwen.
This recurring event will be held on 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month both in person and on ZOOM. Click here for the zoom link. (Passcode 921640).
Laughter or hasna yoga is an intentional exercise involving movement and yogic breathing exercises (pranayama) to promote voluntary laughter over a prolonged period. No jokes are necessary here. Laughter can be faked, and the human body and mind do not know it is simulated. This type of yoga is based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides similar physiological and psychological benefits as spontaneous laughter. It is usually done in groups, with eye contact and much playfulness between participants. Intentional laughter often turns into real and contagious laughter. It involves breathing exercises that aim to cultivate joy, bring out your inner child, and help you let go of daily life stressors.
