Experience the magic of releasing tension and stress in a fun and lighthearted way!
TRE® and Laugher Yoga are practices that slow down mental activity, increase playful positivity and engage the body’s natural wisdom for self-healing and rebalancing. Bonding with others in an uplifting manner activates positive neuroplasticity in our brain, and it builds new neural pathways for feeling good.
