Laugh away the winter
blues and release your
inner child.
Laughter yoga is a combination of laughter and breathing
exercises which are good for the body, mind, spirit and soul.
Research has shown that laughing frequently strengthens our
immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain and protects
us from the damaging effects of stress. By seeking out more
opportunities for humour and laughter we can improve our
emotional health, relationships with others and find greater
happiness/contentment.
St Michael’s Hospice is running sessions for adults in the New Year, taking
place on Sunday 27th January 2019 and Sunday 24th February 2019.
All sessions run from 11am – 12.30pm in the Education Centre. Sessions are

Yoga is for everyone. Do you remember what it was like to enjoy using your body? That feeling of
strength and confidence? This is the gift of Yoga. It’s so much more than just stretching. Renew
your nervous system functions, release any retained reflexes and rebuild muscle loss, as well as de-
stressing and enjoying yourself. Come try it out for free.
With over 18 years teaching experience I offer a technique which is gentle yet powerful, effortless
and pain free. Learn to truly relax, breathe and focus your mind. Suitable for all. Specially for those
with injuries or mobility problems. An interesting approach for those with experience too.
