DISCOVER THE POWER OF LAUGHTER
Yes, LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE! Laughter Yoga has many benefits besides an increased sense of joyfulness. It strengthens the immune system, combats the negative effects of stress and is a powerful antidote to illness, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure and more. If you are seeking a more joyful life, want to bring more uplifting energy to your work and home life, or if you want to bring this wonderful exercise modality to your community, then
come join the next Laughter Leader Training on April 30 to May 1, 2022 in Venice, Florida.
Laughter Yoga is a Mind - Body practice which combines laughter exercises and yogic breathing techniques. Participants will learn several modalities involving deep breathing, stretches, playful laughter exercises, movement, brain gym and relaxation techniques. No floor exercises or yoga training required or will be included! On Sunday May 1, 2022 Participants will receive their Laughter Yoga Leader Certification at the World Laughter Day Celebration event to be held at Centennial Park on Venice Island, FL.

"Climbing Through the Picture Frame" with Chucko, the All-American Clown
Sunday, May 1st from 1-2pm
|
|
Join the “World of Chucko” and the Venice Area Historical Society at the Venice Depot from 1 pm to 2 pm on Sunday, May 1, for a live interactive family-friendly program. Chucko will share the history, mystery, magic, music, and memories of the circus and cartoon clowning past, present, and future.
Like Alice and the Looking Glass, we learn a lot about ourselves by looking in the mirror. Chucko will tell a magical story about how he climbed through the picture frame and became a circus clown in The Greatest Show on Earth! Everyone will have an opportunity to “Climb through the Picture Frame!”
This program is co-sponsored by the Venice Area Historical Society as part of the Suncoast Remake Learning Days, a 10-day festival of free, hands-on learning events for children and families from Friday, April 29, through Sunday, May 8, 2022, in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties.
