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!

It is a unique exercise that combines laughter with deep breathing, a bit of stretching with no actual yoga poses or mats involved.

Then she found Laughter Yoga!
Cathy is living proof that LAUGHING FOR WELLNESS can help to heal the mind, body and soul!
And since 2016, Cathy has learned
- through research and experience -
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!

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!
- Beth, E.D.
