Laughter is the Best Medicine
Research has shown that
15-20 minutes of laughter
will get our bodies to produce
a sufficient amount of
our own healing hormones -
the ones that help us look, think and feel better!
Don't leave laughter to chance!
In order to insure you produce that healing dose on a regular basis, you can do LAUGHTER YOGA alone - even better with others!

About
Cathy Grippi
Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher, CHP
"I revel in being a
LAUGHTER YOGA LEADER,
Teacher & Ambassador❣️"
Cathy is living proof that
LAUGHING FOR WELLNESS
can help to heal the mind, body and soul!
At the age of 60, tired of being deeply depressed
and physically unwell for a few decades,
she needed to find ways to find joy,
a seemingly an impossible situation to change
having developed a very negative mind set.
And then she found Laughter Yoga!
And since 2016, Cathy has learned
-firsthand what the research says -
LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!
Let Cathy show you how to create and experience
your own healing Rx that you can make by choosing to laugh
for the health of it!
Benefits of practicing Laughter Yoga
🤗 The physical act of laughter elevates mood!
Laughter Yoga can change your mood within minutes by releasing endorphins from your brain. This makes you feel good and if you
are in a good mood you do everything better!
🤗🤗 Laughter Yoga is also great for pain management! Improve your physical and mental wellbeing by practicing Laughter Yoga! Laughter reduces stress and strengthens the immune system. You will stay healthier, fall sick less often and if you suffer from a chronic condition, it can help you heal faster.

😉😉😉😉😉😉 Anyone can laugh when times are good but Laughter Yoga teaches people to laugh unconditionally so that they can laugh even during tough times. It provides strength in adversity, a coping mechanism to help people keep a positive mental attitude regardless of the circumstances.
If you can “laugh it off”, you will feel so much better.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR LAUGHTER YOGA EXPERIENCES
I am a Capricorn and considered
to be a strong Type A personality.
After one session of Laughter Yoga, I was pleasantly surprised to react with a chuckle every time I would drop an item from my healing broken wrist,
which had limited range of motion.
Cathy’s session on how to connect breathing and laughter with the mind’s reaction to a typical frustration, was a process I could adopt easily.
Mary T.
I had really great comments/feedback from participants about your leadership/teachings for our PD Laughter Club.
They are very grateful for you.
One member specifically appreciated that you shared your personal experience/reason for your interest in Laughter.
Michelle Martin, Hope Parkinson Program Manager
I did not have the opportunity to tell you what an amazing job you did with our team on Thursday.
Most, were apprehensive about participating in laughing yoga.
After you departed everyone was on a “high”,
productivity and creativity soared.
There was a consensus to bring you back for another session.
You have found your calling Ms. Grippi!
Blessings and Thank you!
