Laughter Yoga Leader Certification 2 Day Training

HAMILTON, N.J. - March 12, 2018 - PRLog -- Join us for this exciting 2-Day Laughter Yoga Leader Training, led by Karen Siugzda and Beverly Burns!

On April 14 and 15, 2018, the halls of Mercer County Family Support Organization, in Hamilton, NJ will ring with laughter, as Karen Siugzda and Beverly Burns, M. Ed., both certified Laughter Yoga Teachers, conduct a Laughter Yoga Leader training session. In the 2-day program, you will learn about Laughter Yoga, a Full-Body Wellness Workout, and the Physical and Psychological benefits that laughter provides. Recent studies have shown that laughter affects the brain in the same way as meditation, and has many health benefits. Laughter Yoga incorporates laughter exercises with pranayama (yogic breathing) to teach you how to laugh intentionally.  There are no yoga poses and no comedy routines, just playful and fun activities using eye-contact in a group setting.
