Las Cruces Public Libraries is offering Chair Laughter Yoga classes on Wednesdays at Thomas Branigan Memorial Library. The sessions are scheduled for 10:15 a.m. in the Roadrunner Room at Branigan Memorial Library, located at 200 E. Picacho Ave., accessible via Roadrunner Transit Route 1.
Laughter Yoga combines movement and breathing exercises aimed at cultivating joy, releasing stress, and engaging one's inner child. A typical class includes breathing exercises, chanting, improvisation, and yoga elements to promote relaxation and laughter. The practice of laughing can release endorphins and hormones such as dopamine and serotonin, which help strengthen the immune system and reduce stress levels and depression rates.
Additionally, Laughter Yoga may enhance overall well-being, lower blood pressure, and foster social connections.
The classes are led by Xen Shiatsu Practitioner Richard Havey.
For more information about the classes, contact Deanna Duffy, Librarian, at (575) 528-4005 or via email at [email protected].
