Sat Apr 25 at 7pm
Join Joanie and Deva for a playful, energizing experience that blends Laughter Yoga, Nia, Yoga, and Yoga Nidra to support health, happiness, and connection.
We’ll begin with laughter, breath, and gentle movement to warm the body and open the heart, then move into a joyful, heart-pumping Nia practice to awaken body, mind, emotions, and spirit. We’ll close with grounding yoga and a nourishing 30-minute Yoga Nidra with sound healing so you leave feeling light, steady, and renewed.
What is Laughter Yoga? A unique practice combining intentional laughter and yogic breathing, based on the idea that we can access laughter anytime, no humor required.
What is Nia? A barefoot movement practice blending elements of dance, martial arts, and healing arts into one expressive, feel-good experience.
What to Expect:
Breath-led movement to energize and release tension
A balance of guided structure and freeform play
Sensation-based cueing so you can move in ways that feel good for your body
A full-body nervous system reset to uplift mood and restore ease
All bodies and levels welcome. No dance or martial arts background needed.
Just come as you are, wear comfy clothes, and bring water.
Yoga is like a breath of fresh air for your respiratory system. It teaches you to breathe deeply and fully, which can improve lung capacity and function. Plus, the focus on breath control can help reduce symptoms of conditions like asthma and COPD.
Yoga is like a calming force for your mind. It can help reduce anxiety by teaching you to focus on your breath and stay present in the moment. Plus, it's a lot more fun than worrying all day.
Yoga helps with digestion like a gentle massage, helping your body process food more effectively. It can help improve blood flow to the digestive organs, reduce bloating and constipation, and promote overall digestive health. Plus, it's a lot more enjoyable than getting a stomach ache.
The breath is like the DJ of your yoga practice - it sets the rhythm and keeps everything flowing smoothly. It helps you stay focused, calm, and connected to your body as you move through the poses.
Props are like the supporting cast in a yoga class - they help you get into the right position and provide support when needed. Think of them as your trusty sidekicks on your yoga journey.
