YOGAjoy offers laughter session

Talk about it

YOGAjoy LLC, in partnership with Nelson Wellness Center, is bringing back to Alexandria guest instructor Mary Margaret Anderson, certified Laughter Yoga instructor from Yogastudio in Plymouth.

Last year’s “laughter session” was so well received that the sponsors have arranged another event.

The Laughter Yoga movement is promoted as a wholesome way to reduce the physical and mental effects of stress, strengthen the immune system and increase overall well-being through simple breathing and laughing exercises.

The class will take place Wednesday, February 25 from 7 to 7:45 p.m. at the Nelson Wellness Center, 1220 Nokomis St. in Alexandria.

The cost is $5 per person in advance and $7 at the door. No experience or special poses or clothing are required. To pre-register, call (320) 762-4317.

The class is open to everyone in the community who wants to enjoy some fun and healthy laughter, according to organizers. All ages are welcome and participants may come alone or bring a friend, spouse, child or grandchild.

YOGAjoy LLC is a health-based business in Alexandria owned by Jill Stroup, Janna Lindoo and Miriam Svobodny. Gentle and mixed yoga classes are offered four days a week at the Nelson Wellness Studio as well as beginner sessions to accommodate every fitness level.
