Laughter Yoga Class
Sun. July 13, 1:00-3:00pm

This class will be facilitated by Phyllis Rollins, Charlotte’s only Laughter Yoga Leader.

Anyone can laugh in a group for 15-20 minutes without depending upon a great sense of humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter Yoga combines simple laughter exercises (simulated laughter) and gentle yoga breathing, which turns into real laughter when practiced in a group. The unique concept of Laughter Yoga and Laughter Club is the brain child of Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician from Mumbai, India.

Introduction to Pranayama 1
Sat. July 26, 1-3pm

Teacher: Phyllis Rollins
Pranayama is the regulation of the breath which focuses on the length of the inhalation, exhalation and the interruption of the flow of breath. It prepares the mind for more internal practices such as concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana), and self realization (samadhi). In this beginning class we will cover the benefits and basic techniques of pranayama. You will learn to set up your blankets for supine pranayama, and a variety of breathing practices will be introduced including Ujjayi and Viloma 1 and 2. At the end of this class you will be ready to begin your own daily breathing practice. Cost $30.

Introduction to Pranayama 2
Sat. Aug 2, 1-3pm

Teacher: Phyllis Rollins
This class is for students with some familiarity with supine pranayama. We will begin to expand our study to include a seated practice. You will learn the benefits and techniques of Viloma 3, Nadi Sodhana, Bhramari and Bhastrika. The effect of focusing our attention on the breath is a quiet serene mind. You will experience a deep sense of peace and relaxation after successful pranayama. Cost: $30

Take both the Pranayama 1 & 2 classes for only $50!
