LAUGHTER YOGA SESSIONS
Tilsa Thomas launched her Laughter Yoga business in 2019, and I have been a regular participant. I would like to encourage others to take it up.
Tilsa’s Laughter sessions are playful while providing physical, emotional and psychological benefits. They are a genuine work-out for muscles and the breath. I always find them both energising and relaxing.
Anyone can do Laughter Yoga. There’s no prerequisite skill or fitness level. The sessions don’t involve traditional yoga poses. Instead, they comprise structured movements and breathing, while having fun and exercising ‘laughter muscles’. In class, Tilsa explains the physiological benefits, which are similar to those of yoga practice. Sessions finish with a brief relaxation meditation.
Anxiety levels are increasing across society, including children and teens. I believe innovative programs like Laughter Yoga are a valuable addition to what’s available in the community to help people de-stress.
Tilsa herself is an excellent session leader. She pitches the classes with the right mix of explaining the benefits and leading the laughter exercises. While some people may feel self-conscious about this kind of activity, I find Tilsa able to adjust her style to accommodate their needs.
As a regular participant in yoga and pilates, I find Laughter Yoga an excellent complement to my regime. As a small business owner, having the opportunity for a good laugh is very therapeutic.
