LAUGHTER YOGA
Did you know that you can laugh even if you don’t feel like laughing? You don’t need a great sense of humor to laugh; you can laugh even if you’re not happy. In fact, you can laugh for no reason – with Laughter Yoga. Laughter Yoga combines laughter exercises with Pranayamic breathing to increase oxygen levels in our bodies, leaving us feeling energetic and healthy. Everyone enjoyed this class so much when we offered it in August we decided to make a regular program out of it. We will now offer it once a month. Hope you’ll make a regular thing out of it, too. RSVP by Thursday November 11 to Rachel Ruth at 897-0143, ext. 161 or rachel@nojcc.org.
