Join us for lunchtime laughter this Thursday and experience for yourself the benefits of 

*Gentle breathing and stretching 
*Body based laughter
*Childlike playfulness
*Community connection and
*Relaxation

In this 50 minute session we will be using body based laughter (Laughter Yoga) and cultivating our childlike model of laughter which comes from the body rather than being based in the mind.

The more we laugh on purpose. The more our spontaneous laughter also starts to flow.

10 reasons to laugh
-------------------------
1. Laughter is great physical exercise.
2. Laughter makes you feel good.
3. Laughter releases endorphins.
4. Laughter releases natural pain killers in the body.
