Special guest teacher Theresa Zingery will lead a 30-minute laughter yoga session as this week’s group meditation. She enjoys offering these fun laughter yoga sessions around the Twin Cities to help spread joy and enhance attendees health!

Because the more people who attend, the merrier, please come and bring a friend.

Laughter yoga will commence after we do a 30-minute guided loving-joy meditation.

PLEASE NOTE: Laughter yoga involves special breathing and belly laughing, you will not be asked to hold poses and you will not need any special clothing or yoga mats.
