Laughter Yoga Comes To Phoenix
Metta Community Yoga is proud to announce Phoenix's first Laughter
Yoga class. Every Wednesday individuals of all ages are welcomed to
join this laughter filled class. It's called Family Laughter Yoga
but you don't have to be a family to attend! Anyone ages 5-105 can
come and enjoy some simple stretches, breathing techniques and
laughter!
Stacy Weiss, the instructor, is Certified through the American
School of Laughter Yoga. She was inspired by Laughter Yogas unique
concept developed by Indian physician, Dr. Madan Kataria. It is fast
sweeping the world and is truly a life changing experience. It
combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing which brings more
oxygen to the body and brain making one feel more energetic and
healthy. The concept is based on a scientific fact that the body
cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the
same physiological and psychological benefits. Safe, easy and
scientifically proven, Laughter Yoga is a lot of fun. When we can
stimulate laughter without a punchline, jokes or sarcasm it creates
a more hearty laugh and we laugh longer - this is truly letting go
and this allows us to manifest our own genuine happiness.
Laughter Yoga class fee: $8 Children $10 Adults or class cards. For
further information on a private session, Corporate Stress
Management/Team Building Session or to add a Laughter Yoga Cass to

Budokon
Sundays 10:45am
New Metta teacher Casey Barish brings
this new practice to our community.
Budokon
is the brainchild of Founder Cameron
Shayne and the practice was founded in 2000. The word Bu-do-kon
translates directly in Japanese as (Bu) Warrior (Do) Way (Kon)
Spirit, or
Way of
the Spiritual Warrior. The Budokon practice draws
from yoga, martial arts and meditation.
