Letting go

You have to dare to let go and relax, release positive hormones and strengthen your concentration, your self-confidence, your creativity and share a laugh together.
Laughter allows you to reprogram your brain when it is in the negative. There is no difference between forced and natural laughter but you have to laugh at least 15 minutes a day. “Even smiling helps release hormones of stress and happiness,” insists Virginie Rivat.

In India, students have to laugh for 10 minutes in class.

It would have an effective power on breathing, the neuro-hormonal system, sleep, the immune system, self-confidence, emotion. In short, it can only do good.
Virginie, a teacher who wants to transmit laughter

And to continue: “But I have always been a facilitator in nursing homes. In particular dance in a seated position in Forges-les-Eaux. Before the Covid, I wanted to extend my activity in the Pays de Bray”.

Among the participants in this new experience, the reactions are unanimous. “We are washed, drained and at the same time relaxed” explains one of them.
And to add:
Laughter yoga is interesting to discover even if sometimes we are in weird positions.
