Laughter Yoga!!!
So about a week and a half ago, Angela from The Ki Inside talked me into going to something called Laughter Yoga. I had no real idea what to expect other than I have been known to laugh a time or two and have done yoga before. So I kinda figured it'd be laughing while doing regular yoga poses. Sounds kinda hokey and weird. I was right and wrong.
First, let me say I LOVED it. I talked my friend Crystal into going along with me. She brought her 4 and 7 year old boys along. We got to The Ki Inside and set up some chairs in a circle and had a seat. In walks Glenda Aldrich, the laughter yoga instructor. She reads us some of the benefits of laughter and then gets right into it. She had us do a little light stretching (very light). She then had us laugh. That's right, no jokes or anything, just laughing. You pretty much fake it til you make it -- you fake your laugh until you really start laughing. It becomes contagious. Glenda had us moving around pretending to throw snowballs at each other, laughing like Santa with a deep belly laugh or laughing high-pitched, or giving birth to a laughter baby (I took it literally and had everyone laughing as I put on a little scene where I pretended to give birth). As I mentioned, your laughs eventually become really!
Don't be worried if you don't move all that well. It's VERY light stretching and are encouraged to do what you're comfortable with. If you're in a wheel chair, no problem, you can sit and do this as well!
I left there feeling great! My spirits were lifted and I was a bit sweaty! Who knew you could sweat from laughing?! And Crystal's boys loved it! Who doesn't love laughing and being goofy for an hour??
And it was only $10. I haven't heard of this great of a deal for an hour of laughter since I heard about my sketch comedy group, Banana Punch's, upcoming sketch show this February! PLUG! http://www.bananapunchcomedy.com/
The Register just did an article on this great class this week! Check it out and come join me this Tuesday night in Sherman Hill at The Ki Inside from 7-8pm!
