While stress affects the whole person negatively, laughter affects the whole person positively! The old saying really is true, laughter is the best medicine!
Depending on the study, kids laughs somewhere between 300-400 times per day. In stark contrast, the average adult laughs only 4-17 times per day! How sad is that?! This is especially sad because laughter has seriously awesome (and scientifically documented) short- and long-term benefits for the mind, body and spirit!
To help put some chuckles back in your life, here is a link to a video that will guided you in a short but effective yoga session.
However, this is not the kind of yoga you are used to!
Please take a minute to click on the link and follow along. Don’t just watch the clip…participate and follow along! I promise you it is worth it! Who knows, you just may find yourself smiling, or even better, laughing! Feel free to share with your students, family, and friends. When groups or families complete the session together, it really gets the laughter juices flowing!
