It Is said that the average child laughs 300 times a day
yet the average adult laughs only 15!
In the 1950's adults laughed 18 minutes a day. Now adults laugh less than 6 minutes per day.
How many times have you laughed today?

SO WHAT IS LAUGHING HATHA YOGA?
Laughing "Hatha" Yoga is based on the concept "laughter is the best medicine"
... My classes are MUCH MORE than just Laughter Yoga, I combine fun Laughter with Gentle Hatha Yoga stretching exercises and Proper Breathing techniques.
WHY?
WELL...Laughing helps to lower blood pressure, reduces stress by up to 75%, and lifts depression. It reduces aches and pains, boosts your immune and digestive systems, stimulates your cardiovascular system and works your lymphatic system. At the same time you get the benefit of your internal organs and glands being massaged. It makes you feel younger and look younger. It gives the muscles of your face, chest and abdomen a great workout. It stimulates your heart rate causes you to breathe more deeply, releases happiness hormones and pain relieving endorphines.
AND...Hatha Yoga is the harmony between your body and mind which is great for good health. It's gentle stretching exercises and learning proper breathing techniques and has many health benefits. It gives your whole body a regular workout which will help boost your immune system while at the same time keeping you fit. Yoga works by getting the blood in your body moving, with gentle stretching of your joints and muscles there's a detoxification of all the body cells and this all takes place by doing some simple movements. Yoga increases strength, flexibility, concentration, the ability to focus and energy levels. It promotes inner peace, improves balance and coordination, stimulates the digestive system and puts you in touch with your body to better help you determine your body's real needs. Yoga also promotes weight loss!
Each class begins with Laughing Yoga exercises and transforms into Gentle Hatha Yoga poses and Proper Breathing exercises. The class finishes with Savasana, the pose of total relaxation, including a guided meditation and visualization. A perfect end to a perfectly joyous class! Laugh yourself silly, enjoy the benefits of good health, well being and uplifting energy an then into total and complete relaxation...HO HO HA HA HA ...Aaaahhh serenity!
Exercise your Body Mind and Spirit! Laughing Hatha Yoga exercises you INSIDE AND OUT!!!
NO other style of yoga or fitness training program offers all these benefits!

Hi!
My name is Nancy Hedberg. Alternative therapies and modalities have always been a great interest to me. I started to seek out information and practices in the early 70's. I am a Certified Hypnotherapist and Reiki Master Teacher as well as an Indian Head Massage instructor . I have been practicing Reiki since 1997. I have since trained in Acupressure, Swedish Massage, Lomi Lomi Massage, Chair Massage, Relaxation Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Exotic Palm Cane Massage, as well as a host of other modalities including Weight Loss for Women. I received my Hatha Yoga Teacher's Diploma in 2004. I have since incorporated Laughter Yoga into my classes and have created a blend of two wonderful good health modalities...Laughter and Hatha Yoga.... My Yoga classes are called Laughing Hatha Yoga! I offer just a little more than Laughter Yoga, for those who want more from their practice and who would prefer to Laugh in a more intimate group environment. It's okay to feel a little self conscious and my classes allow for that. I also teach Meditation and Visualization, Meeting Your Power Animal & Renewing Your Being. I do workshops for Dream Boarding and hold private sessions for Finding Past Lives and Meeting Your Personal Goals.
Whether your main concern is fitness, weight loss or relaxation, Yoga practice offers all if these benefits. While doing some simple routines you will be toning your muscles and burning off any excess fat so it’s a great way of staying in shape. If you need a release from the stress of every day life you may be surprised at how well yoga helps you cope. Stress is one of the biggest preventer of weight-loss and can actually stimulate weight-gain! And because the class is combined with Meditation during Savasana or Corpse Pose and you'll find this very beneficial to relaxation,weight-loss and with your ability to focus. Yoga is the harmony between the body and your mind and can get you thoughts back in focus with your body and return to being in stead of doing. Remember, you are after all a Human Being, NOT a Human Doing!!
