Free Laughter Yoga Class
The Osher Center for Integrative Medicine presents a free Laughter Yoga Class targeted to reduce stress through laughter and yoga stretches. Did you know laughter is contagious and has a powerful and immediate effect on our mind, body and spirit? This class involves deep breathing, stretching, clapping and laughter exercises. Simulating laughter in the class will:
- increase blood flow and oxygen to all the major organs
- enhance endorphin levels which make us feel uplifted and can reduce pain
- stimulate immune, digestive and cardiac systems
- reduce stress levels
- relax, strengthen and lengthen the muscles with stretching
- help create a laughing community and be fun
This free class is every other Wednesday, starting Feb. 11. No registration required. For more information, call 415-353-7718, email classes@ocim.ucsf.edu or visit www.osher.ucsf.edu.
