What Is Laughter Yoga?

Laughter Yoga combines laughter with yogic breathing exercises to provide 45-minute workout sessions that include 30 minutes of laughter. Laughter Yoga is the fastest growing health and fitness system in the world. It is also known as ‘instant yoga’ as it provides results in days that can take years to achieve in posture yoga. It has been featured in a Time Magazine cover story, on CNN and other world media including National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, BBC, NHK Japan, Star TV, ABC News, Channel 9 Australia and many more.

Children laugh 300-400 times a day during their important formative years, but adult laughter has reduced this to just 10-15 times a day. Laughter is one of our best defenses against stress, and it is important that we find ways to laugh more to cope with stress and remain healthy in the modern world. Laughter Yoga is a perfect way to laugh and get exercise at the same time. It approaches laughter as a body exercise so it’s easy to laugh even if you’re depressed or in a bad mood.

Laughter Yoga is offered in more than 10,000 social laughter clubs around the world. It is also being offered commercially in yoga and fitness centers, senior care facilities, schools, hospitals, as well as business and government offices.

What is the Oak & River Retreat?

The Oak and River Retreat operates as an alternative health service promoting wellness, vitality, and rejuvenation through self healing. We employ an intermodal approach to energy healing. Differing health conditions respond differently to the various healing techniques, and working together with various modalities the outcomes increase exponentially.Since my retirement in 1997 I have pursued an interest in alternative healing.

         

                       



 

It was Everett Baker who in the summer of 2011 took the initiative to add Laughter Yoga to our list of services. We've been laughing ever since.
