(LUBBOCK) – Enrich your life with laughter by attending the Laughter Yoga Leader Training Workshop hosted by Covenant Health. The weekend workshop will be Friday, August 12 through Sunday, August 14 at the Covenant Lifestyle Centre located at 21st Street and Joliet Avenue on the sixth floor of Covenant’s east parking garage.
Laughter Yoga is based on a technique developed in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from India. It is a unique form of exercise that combines the deep breathing and relaxation of yoga with various laughter exercises to bring more oxygen to the body and brain to make one feel healthier and more energetic. There are now more than 8,000 clubs offered in more than 80 countries.
Carla Brown, certified Laughter Yoga instructor, will teach participants how to integrate laughter into their life and how it can change the way one lives and responds to stress. Brown trained with Dr. Kataria to become certified to teach the technique to others.
During the workshop, attendees will gain a thorough understanding of Laughter Yoga as well as learn the health benefits associated with the practice, the skills and technique needed to teach others and most importantly how to effectively release tension and stress. After completion of the workshop, participants will be qualified as a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader.
This certification is internationally recognized and allows one to lead Laughter Yoga sessions and workshops to spread their joy of laughter around the world.
The laughter workshop will be held Friday 6 - 8 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Friday, there will be a screening of the movie Laughology followed by a public Laughter Yoga session.
