You've heard laughter is good medicine.  If you combine it with yoga, you have a heart healthy work-out.

Patty Freier, Laughter Yoga leader, said, "We are uniting deep breathing and laughing, so part of what we're doing. We laugh really hard for 30mins, and it's a cardiovascular workout, so we are actually taking in more air. We're deep breathing, and we deliberately do deep breathing and stretching at the end."

Patty says Laughter Yoga is also a great tool in learning to control anger management as well. Already, her Laughter Yoga team has demonstrated this technique to more than 40 businesses and organizations in Lubbock.

Weekly classes are also offered at Covenant on Wednesdays at 5:30 to 6:15.  It's free with no registration. Just show up at the Lifestyle Centre at the top of the east parking garage.  For more information, call (806) 725-4386.
