WORK HISTORY
Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher @Laugh Yourself Healthy
It was back in 2012 I first did a laughter yoga session for the residents at Conway. The residents have asked me to come back and I am thrilled that I will be laughing with them on a more regular basis.Laughter Yoga – the Best MedicineLaughter Yoga is indeed the best medicine to be prescribed for residents living away from family to keep them in good cheer. Good Hearty Laughter gets rid of stress, worry and depression. It touches the emotional core and alleviates feelings of loneliness and isolation. Besides being the panacea for good health, laughter generates positive thoughts and reduces the negative strains.Sedentary lifestyle, illness and lack of physical exercise cause stiffness of limbs and muscles, leads to immobility and pain and aches. Laughter exercises coupled with deep diaphragmatic breathing are simple, structured and a lot of fun. They are easy, safe, and economical and provide a genuine form of physical exercise. Regardless of any limitations – cognitive or physical, they are appropriate for all. Extended Hearty Laughter is known to increase muscle movement, mobility and boost the immune system. It increases disease fighting cells and proteins, and triggers release of endorphins (body\'s natural painkillers) I always tell people if you laugh stress away with child-like play you\'ll live longer while looking younger every day.
