LAUGHTER YOGA
​
Jenn McCullough
Harmony In Life​
​
Laughter is the best medicine! Laughter Yoga is the practice of combining laughter exercises with yogic breathing. The many benefits of laughter include: lowering the negative effects of stress, oxygenating the body and brain, and improving mood and overall health. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter if done with willingness. One gets the same health benefits, whether laughter is real or simulated.

YIN YOGA:
BE THE CHANGE
Heather Mahler
Stillwaters​
​
​
​
​
This workshop is an invitation to become more receptive to yourself and the surrounding world through the practice of Yin Yoga. As a society, we have become so conditioned to live from a place of constant movement-or a Yang place-that we find calm, quiet, and stillness to be challenging rather than valuable. When we take the time to know ourselves more intimately, it helps us to live, love, and serve the world in a way that is more joyful and harmonious.
