HOUSTON LAUGHTER YOGA DESCRIPTION:
Houston, we have laughter! Stressbuster Tools for Real Life ~ Healing with Laughter Yoga: Let go and go with the flow in these breathing-movement exercises for people of all professions, ages, and abilities. Learn about the healing power of breathing to release emotions including anger, stress, grief, joy and forgiveness. Laughter yoga oxygenates the brain and the body, greatly strengthens the immune system, and restores joy and well-being. There are no on-the-floor exercises. No yoga mats, special exercise clothing, or sense of humor required!
ABOUT LAINIE'S LAUGHTER YOGA WORK:
It is a joy to begin the first public Laughter Yoga classes in Houston & also through The Jung Center and Houston Public Library. I believe in providing it to the community. I began practicing and was certified in New York City by Vishwa Prakash. I am a classical music singer (Soloist singing includes Lincoln Center/Carnegie Hall) I bring my knowledge of the physiology of breathing and movement exercises to teach all people.

HOUSTON LAUGHTER YOGA HEALTH AND WELLNESS SESSIONS
Lainie's "Keep Calm and Laugh On! - For Your Health" :
"He who Laughs - Lasts"
"LIFE BEGINS AT THE END OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE." ~Neale Donald Walsch
Energy gives life to us! We need to continually step outside of ourselves and our usual comfort zones to live life to the fullest, with love, joy and forgiveness.
REGAIN CHILDLIKE JOY:
​
A child naturally laughs about 500 times a day! An adult laughs sometimes 5 times a day or less. We know, proven through worldwide scientific studies on laughter -which is breathing- it is very important for both mental & physical health. LAUGHTER YOGA changes your Brain Chemistry by the OXYGENATING exercises therefore greatly STRENGTHENING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. What a relief!
MEDICAL AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS:
​
Laughter Yoga exercises activate the Parasympathetic nervous system, which is the opposite of the sympathetic nervous system. We are laughing and breathing for mental and internal physical health.
