Laughter, Yoga and Happiness

We will show you:

• how to have a really really good laugh
• how to work out what really makes you happy
• why slowing down helps your happiness
• the value of humour in coping with stressful situations
• how to rediscover a more childlike sense of fun and play
• how yoga can keep your grounded, happy and in the moment

In this workshop, as well as making you laugh a lot, we will also be asking you to reflect on where happiness comes from. Is it friendships, success, financial security, spirituality, health, relationships, nature? We will consider all of these possible answers - and be suggesting some more – and generally have a good, happy time!  So if you feel you would like to really lift your spirits come and join us.

Jo Eadie from the UK Laughter Network will be exploring the value of laughter, and helping you to discover how to let go and enjoy good, proper belly laughs (see www.joeadie.co.uk). Jo works with community health groups to help people to laugh more when they need it - at the good times and the bad times.

Fiona Agombar will explore ideas around what truly brings us happiness and how we can bring this in to our everyday lives (see www.fionaagombar.co.uk). Fiona's yoga work will include the nine secret steps to happiness from the Vyasa ashram in India and a hatha yoga session to discover stillness. Fiona is the author of Beat Fatigue with Yoga and is a regular contributor to Yoga and Health magazine.
