With gratitude & joy I can confidently say “ Laughter Yoga Changed My Life”. Laughter Yoga gifted me the ability to CHOOSE my breath, my movements, my attitude and CHANGE my outcomes. Before discovering LY I was a single mom of two girls, I worked full time in health care, I was navigating challenging times, personally, physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. Injuries from a MVA accident in 2017 left me limited in my abilities to participate in previous health & wellness activities. At that time, a colleague of mine recommended I try Laughter Yoga (LY). In 2018 I became a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader. My original intention was just to use these techniques for myself. This life changing course soon inspired many new intentions to incorporate LY both Personally and Professionally. Personally I have been able to use these powerful techniques to: Heal (Body, Mind, Spirit) Relieve Pain/Stress/Tension Calm/Regulate Nervous System Reprogram Limiting Beliefs Decrease fears/anxiety Strengthen Connections Channel Creativity, Joy & Expression Play with Mindset/Perceptions Strengthen Facilitation Skills Become a leading expert in Laughter, Breathing, Meditation. Improve my quality of life in all areas of health and wellness.
