Join certified Laughter Yoga teacher Dana Kaplan in this program focused on helping your body create feel-good hormones using a gentle form of exercise combining breathing techniques from yoga with laughter exercises. Laughter Yoga will leave you feeling more energetic and healthier than ever. Proven to release stress, Laughter Yoga will boost your immune system, exercise your heart and lungs, elevate your mood, improve your circulation, help reduce symptoms of arthritis, asthma, allergies and pain, and help you foster feelings of kindness, joy, forgiveness or love. Laughter truly is the best medicine!

Special Note: No yoga mat is needed, and this program is open to attendees of all ages! Laughter Yoga can be practiced standing or sitting, regardless of fitness level. If you can laugh, you can do Laughter Yoga. It’s best to do Laughter Yoga on an empty stomach.

This program is presented by Dana Kaplan and hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
