In this series, you’ll explore laughter yoga—a unique and playful well-being practice that combines laughter exercises with yogic breathing. Exercises can be done seated or standing. No yoga mats are required.

Each session will include a mix of meditation and gentle movement to harness the power of laughter and cultivate embodied awareness, creativity, resilience, and joy.

Sessions open to patients, family, and staff.

• Acute pain or discomfort (due to recent injury or surgery)

• Untreated heart conditions (e.g., angina, arrhythmia)
