Laughter Yoga with Ganna Ainsworth

Laughter Yoga with Instructor Ganna Ainsworth

• • • Join us for Laughter Yoga in honor of Summer Solstice! 
    • Summer solstice marks the longest day of the year, filled with sunlight and energy. Laughter can enhance that sense of joy and outward expression.
    • Laughter Yoga doesn’t require a mat, because there are no asanas. Instead, we will practicing deep belly laughter, silliness, and engagement of your imagination and creativity, and mindful breathing. You will need water, as laughter yoga is similar to a cardio exercise, or a lawn chair if you have difficulty standing.

What: Laughter Yoga

Where: Camp Caro Lodge 8602 E. Appleway Blvd, Spokane Valley, WA

Laughter Yoga was founded in 1995. Being a relatively new style of yoga, it incorporates breathing and mindfulness present in ancient styles of yoga, such as hatha yoga. Ganna Ainsworth was trained as a Laughter Yoga leader in Nashville in 2009.  She taught Laughter Yoga in Nashville and Chattanooga, TN and now is delighted to share this joyful gift with the wonderful supporters of Dishman Hills Conservancy and the greater Spokane community. 

It is amazing to drop your inhibitions and laugh without a reason, and the laughter exercises will help you have an amazing time! No jokes are told, and there are no comedians, but you will have the deepest and most sustained laughter for no reason! Laughter yoga has been shown to bring a slew of positive psychological and physiological benefits - it boosts immune function, helps with chronic pain, improves mood, decreases blood pressure, and even changes personality if practiced regularly
