Meet Eileen Wolfington, 2nd year Festival Leader!
Thursday, July 31, 1:30PM - 3:30PM - Laughter Yoga - Bring more oxygen to your body and brain as we combine laughter exercises with yogic breathing techniques to cultivate joy and bring out your inner child. Laughter reduces stress, helps keep your mind positive, and strengthens your immune system. In lieu of traditional Yoga poses, you’ll experience gentle stretching, chanting, clapping, eye contact, and creative body movement. This practice was introduced in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from India. Laughter Yoga has grown into a worldwide movement with thousands of Laughter Yoga clubs in over 100 countries. Eileen's guided techniques will inspire you to laugh by yourself, with your family, and with your colleagues.
Eileen Wolfington is leading four sessions: Laughter Yoga (as above); Ripples: Light, Water & Sound with Angela L. Chostner, Saturday, August 2, 1:30PM; Guided Meditation Sound Journey, Saturday, August 2, 4:00PM; and Walk with a Grateful HeART (Labyrinth Walk) with Angela L. Chostner, Sunday, August 3, 8:00AM.
