Let's go through the list of questions that come around quite often.

​

 

Are these yoga poses difficult or beginner level ?

What if I begin experiencing pain during the Laughing Hour ? 

​

We don't want any new pain to occur during the workshops. Therefore, we highly recommend to do each exercise to the extent you feel capable of without forcing your bodies in ways that hurt you. If you start feeling uncomfortable, you are more than welcome to take a seat and relax, or do the exercises from a seated position.

Prepare mentally to be laughing. Also, prepare to let loose. No one is here to judge and everyone is required to come with an open mind.

Most probably, but not always. If ever we do take pictures, a waiver will be signed beforehand. If we do take pictures, it is for promotional purposes. We understand not everyone likes taking pictures, therefore we will respect your decision.
