Who couldn't use a little more laughter in their life?! Mark your calendar for LAUGHTER YOGA next Saturday, September 17 at 11 am. The Richmond Free Library is pleased to have certified laughter yoga instructor Barbara Molina leading this program. Barbara started teaching when she was 16 years old in Los Angeles, and has now been teaching for seven years. Currently working with VYCC, she will return to LA later this fall. Don't miss this opportunity to experience one of Barbara's classes before she leaves!

But what is Laughter Yoga? It's a unique exercise where we laugh without relying on jokes, comedy, or humor. It works with the scientifically proven fact that your brain and body can't tell the difference between real or fake laughter. No matter what mental or emotional state we are in, we can still reap the benefits of laughter. Some benefits from laughter yoga are a release of endorphins, increased oxygen levels to your brain and body, anxiety and stress relief, pain relief, and more!

The class will be 30-40 minutes of laughter exercises and 10-15 minutes of guided meditation. We recommend bringing water and something comfortable to lie on for meditation. This FREE program for adults, teens, and families will be held in the library's Community Room. Please join us--let's laugh together!
