MOVEMENT & LAUGHTER
Unwind and heal naturally with authentic movement and laughter.
There is nothing more freeing than to allow yourself to connect to your feelings expressed through how your body moves and how your laughter flows. It helps us get out of our critical minds and into the natural flow of our own rhythms. Get in alignment by letting go of the boundaries. Express yourself naturally!
MOVEMENT
Soulistic FlowFusion
There are numerous movement styles and dance forms to enjoy.
Movement is important for our bodies.
It is also important for our souls.
Movement is a pathway to personal freedom found in the depths of our souls allowing self-expression in ways that words just can't do justice.
This motion allows flow, and in the flow, realigns with the joy of being our authentic selves.
What is Soulistic FlowFusion?
Soulistic FlowFusion is an opportunity to get connected to the joy of the flow of one's internal compass through expressive movement, play and dance.
With a variety of music that "moves" the soul, participants are lightly guided to tap into their own natural rhythms and spontaneous flow. It's about fun, personal expression, and connecting the power of one's authentic self.
Lightly guided, the class moves from a soft warm up through a range of motivational and vibrational music, evoking a blend of spontaneous movement and dance styles, freedance, laughter, artistic play with props (i.e. hula hoops, scarves, stability balls, rhythmic ribbons), light strength exercises and cool down with stretching.
Move into the power of your authentic self!

What's Laughter Yoga?
The invitation is to “laugh for no reason“, faking it until it becomes real. The body will benefit from laughter regardless if it's real or contrived.
It’s All about the Breath
The connection between laughter and yoga is the breath (not contortions or fancy movements found in a regular yoga class). According to yogic philosophy, we are alive because the energy of life, prana, enters our body through the breath. From a medical perspective, the most important component of breath is oxygen. Laughter Yoga exercises (laughter & breathing) bring more oxygen to our body and brain.
How? A prolonged voluntary practice of Laughter Yoga helps us to exhale double the amount of air than we inhale. This means laughter exercises can be compared to any other aerobic exercise, which increases the heart rate and blood circulation and also improves oxygenation.
How does Laughter Yoga work?
Laughter Yoga combines interactive laughter exercises with deep centering breaths and gentle movements. It is a joyful, playful way to connect with others and laugh away stress and negative thinking. Laughter is stimulated without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Simple child-like silliness can often ignite the chuckle button. A Laughter Yoga session is initiated typically in a group incorporating guided laughter exercises, clapping, eye contact and child-like playfulness. The "simulated" laughter soon turns into real, spontaneous and contagious laughter increasing oxygen to our body and brain, lifting our spirits, spreading joy and good vibes to ourselves and others. A total win/win.
Open for all ages and abilities and can be modified to serve various populations.
