Upcoming Laughter Yoga Class

My next Laughter Yoga class is scheduled for Sunday, February 20, 2011 from 12 noon to 1 pm at Empowered Yoga in Wilmington.  Pre-registration is now open for this class. Sign up here.

While you’re signing up for class (like that gentle nudge?) why not check out some of the other groovy classes Empowered offers. I studied for my 200 hour yoga teacher training in this studio and I consider it my second home (but no one ever offers to do my laundry or make me pancakes – Doh)!

For additional details, click any image in this post or simply head on over to Empowered Yoga to sign up.

I hope to see your lovely face in the studio on February 20th. Namaste with giggles, Christa

Class Description

Join Christa Scalies, RYT, CLYL (Certified Laughter Yoga Leader) and founder of Giggle On® for an interactive specialty class designed to help you open and balance your heart chakra using the Kundalini and Hatha based practice of Laughter Yoga (also called Hasya Yoga). This practice teaches you how to laugh without using jokes or humor and provides a safe space for you to tap into “ahimsa” and your inner child by letting go of judgment, negativity, hostility, fear and stress and replacing those feelings with love, peace, acceptance and joy.

Bring a yoga mat and an open mind. Beginners welcome.
