SUMMARY:Laughter for Health and Happiness
DESCRIPTION:These classes are held weekly each Thursday. \nPlaces available! \nAs spaces are limited\, this class is suitable for people who would be able to attend the class regularly. After you have attended your first class\, if you intend to come back (which we’re sure you will) and if we are able to offer you a place\, you can let us know on the day to expect you at future weekly classes. \nAdditionally\, as spaces are limited\, this class is for people living locally in Leith and the surrounding areas\, and for people who are able to attend the class regularly. \nPlease see our Eventbrite page for more information or contact us at events@duncanplace.org  \nTo enquire about joining the class\, please email us at events@duncanplace.org \n\nWhat To Expect\nJoin our Laughter For Health & Happiness classes with Laughter Consultant and Health & Wellbeing coach Jo Bluett. We’re delighted to have Jo lead these sessions and share her knowledge\, skills and passion in a fun\, healthy and accessible way with our community. Jo says “Therapeutic laughter gives us a total wellbeing workout and helps us to feel amazing on all levels – physically\, mentally\, emotionally and spiritually.” \n\nLaugh yourself happier and healthier!\nThe benefits of laughter include:\nlifts our mood\nreduces pain and inflammation\nboosts our immune system\nimproves our breathing\nlowers blood pressure\nimproves our heart (or cardiovascular) health\nboosts oxygen supply\nreduces stress and tension\nimproves our social connection\nbuilds resilience and positivity\nbuilds confidence and self-esteem\nboosts our creativity\n\nYou can get a taster of what our Laughter for Health & Happiness classes might look like by watching this short two-minute video on the BBC website\, which features Jo talking about Edinburgh Laughter Club: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05lkp75 \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nAbout Jo\n \nJo Bluett started Edinburgh Laughter Club in 2010 and then set up Laughter For Health in 2012 after discovering that laughter profoundly helped her to manage her own chronic health issues. Laughter for Jo became a daily tool to manage mood\, reduce pain\, build resilience and boost health and happiness which she then wanted to share with others. \nJo ran Edinburgh Laughter Club for 10 years totally voluntarily to become one of the most successful laughter clubs in the UK (the first club to run weekly sessions and the first to secure funding from the NHS). Together with her regular members\, they raised over £25K for local charities – doing good and feeling good! \n\nPayments – Please Read\nPayments for these classes can be made here on Eventbrite\, however\, please be advised that Eventbrite add their own non-refundable fee to the ticket price which they collect. Alternatively\, you can email us at events@duncanplace.org and we can send you a payment link without an additional fee. After your first class\, payments can be made in person each week at Duncan Place via card or cash. \nChoosing Your Payment Amount – Please Read\n£6 = Our Standard Class Fee is for people who have a steady income (from any source) and are able to occasionally attend paid events or classes. \nAlternative options \n£4 = The Reduced Class Fee is an alternative option for people who have an unsteady or low income\, are not often able to attend paid events or classes\, and would really struggle to pay the standard class cost of £6. \n£8 = Class Fee + is an alternative option for people who have more disposable income and are able to regularly attend paid events or classes. This option also helps us sustain the reduced priced option. \nWith these three options\, it is also completely OK to pick different payment options at each class. You get to choose exactly what you pay according to what you can genuinely afford. We only ask that you do a little bit of self-reflection before choosing your price point. You may find yourself somewhere between price points and that is fine. You get to choose which price point fits most comfortably at any given time. \nParticipant Information\nPlease arrive five or ten minutes before the class starts – latecomers may not be admitted. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing allowing movement – light layers are best as we can warm up and cool down quickly between different stages of the class. \nPart of the session includes laughter meditation where you have the option of lying down (or you can be seated in a chair). If you have a favourite yoga mat or blanket you’d like to bring along\, please do\, however we also have a limited supply of them here that you can use on the day. \nThese Laughter For Health & Happiness classes are totally inclusive and welcome everyone of all fitness levels and mobility; wheelchair users are welcome (as are Carers and Support Workers for those who need physical assistance) and people who find it difficult to stand or cope with moving around can do the whole class seated. \nThese classes will include elements of Laughter Yoga which is an aerobic exercise that may not be suitable for people suffering from uncontrolled blood pressure\, heart disease\, epilepsy\, any kind of hernia\, severe back pain\, abdominal surgery within the last 3 months and major psychiatric conditions. If these conditions do not apply but during the class you experience pain\, discomfort or breathlessness then take a break – have a seat and take some time out to rest – and perhaps then continue with restraint or more gently. If you have any doubt about continuing then simply stop. If you are unsure as to whether you should participate – please consult your GP before attending.

SUMMARY:Laughter for Health and Happiness
DESCRIPTION:These classes are held weekly each Thursday. \nPlaces available! \nAs spaces are limited\, this class is suitable for people who would be able to attend the class regularly. After you have attended your first class\, if you intend to come back (which we’re sure you will) and if we are able to offer you a place\, you can let us know on the day to expect you at future weekly classes. \nAdditionally\, as spaces are limited\, this class is for people living locally in Leith and the surrounding areas\, and for people who are able to attend the class regularly. \nPlease see our Eventbrite page for more information or contact us at events@duncanplace.org  \nTo enquire about joining the class\, please email us at events@duncanplace.org \n\nWhat To Expect\nJoin our Laughter For Health & Happiness classes with Laughter Consultant and Health & Wellbeing coach Jo Bluett. We’re delighted to have Jo lead these sessions and share her knowledge\, skills and passion in a fun\, healthy and accessible way with our community. Jo says “Therapeutic laughter gives us a total wellbeing workout and helps us to feel amazing on all levels – physically\, mentally\, emotionally and spiritually.” \n\nLaugh yourself happier and healthier!\nThe benefits of laughter include:\nlifts our mood\nreduces pain and inflammation\nboosts our immune system\nimproves our breathing\nlowers blood pressure\nimproves our heart (or cardiovascular) health\nboosts oxygen supply\nreduces stress and tension\nimproves our social connection\nbuilds resilience and positivity\nbuilds confidence and self-esteem\nboosts our creativity\n\nYou can get a taster of what our Laughter for Health & Happiness classes might look like by watching this short two-minute video on the BBC website\, which features Jo talking about Edinburgh Laughter Club: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05lkp75 \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nAbout Jo\n \nJo Bluett started Edinburgh Laughter Club in 2010 and then set up Laughter For Health in 2012 after discovering that laughter profoundly helped her to manage her own chronic health issues. Laughter for Jo became a daily tool to manage mood\, reduce pain\, build resilience and boost health and happiness which she then wanted to share with others. \nJo ran Edinburgh Laughter Club for 10 years totally voluntarily to become one of the most successful laughter clubs in the UK (the first club to run weekly sessions and the first to secure funding from the NHS). Together with her regular members\, they raised over £25K for local charities – doing good and feeling good! \n\nPayments – Please Read\nPayments for these classes can be made here on Eventbrite\, however\, please be advised that Eventbrite add their own non-refundable fee to the ticket price which they collect. Alternatively\, you can email us at events@duncanplace.org and we can send you a payment link without an additional fee. After your first class\, payments can be made in person each week at Duncan Place via card or cash. \nChoosing Your Payment Amount – Please Read\n£6 = Our Standard Class Fee is for people who have a steady income (from any source) and are able to occasionally attend paid events or classes. \nAlternative options \n£4 = The Reduced Class Fee is an alternative option for people who have an unsteady or low income\, are not often able to attend paid events or classes\, and would really struggle to pay the standard class cost of £6. \n£8 = Class Fee + is an alternative option for people who have more disposable income and are able to regularly attend paid events or classes. This option also helps us sustain the reduced priced option. \nWith these three options\, it is also completely OK to pick different payment options at each class. You get to choose exactly what you pay according to what you can genuinely afford. We only ask that you do a little bit of self-reflection before choosing your price point. You may find yourself somewhere between price points and that is fine. You get to choose which price point fits most comfortably at any given time. \nParticipant Information\nPlease arrive five or ten minutes before the class starts – latecomers may not be admitted. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing allowing movement – light layers are best as we can warm up and cool down quickly between different stages of the class. \nPart of the session includes laughter meditation where you have the option of lying down (or you can be seated in a chair). If you have a favourite yoga mat or blanket you’d like to bring along\, please do\, however we also have a limited supply of them here that you can use on the day. \nThese Laughter For Health & Happiness classes are totally inclusive and welcome everyone of all fitness levels and mobility; wheelchair users are welcome (as are Carers and Support Workers for those who need physical assistance) and people who find it difficult to stand or cope with moving around can do the whole class seated. \nThese classes will include elements of Laughter Yoga which is an aerobic exercise that may not be suitable for people suffering from uncontrolled blood pressure\, heart disease\, epilepsy\, any kind of hernia\, severe back pain\, abdominal surgery within the last 3 months and major psychiatric conditions. If these conditions do not apply but during the class you experience pain\, discomfort or breathlessness then take a break – have a seat and take some time out to rest – and perhaps then continue with restraint or more gently. If you have any doubt about continuing then simply stop. If you are unsure as to whether you should participate – please consult your GP before attending.

After your first class\, payments can be made in person each week at Duncan Place via card or cash. \nChoosing Your Payment Amount – Please Read\n£6 = Our Standard Class Fee is for people who have a steady income (from any source) and are able to occasionally attend paid events or classes. \nAlternative options \n£4 = The Reduced Class Fee is an alternative option for people who have an unsteady or low income\, are not often able to attend paid events or classes\, and would really struggle to pay the standard class cost of £6. \n£8 = Class Fee + is an alternative option for people who have more disposable income and are able to regularly attend paid events or classes. This option also helps us sustain the reduced priced option. \nWith these three options\, it is also completely OK to pick different payment options at each class. You get to choose exactly what you pay according to what you can genuinely afford. We only ask that you do a little bit of self-reflection before choosing your price point. You may find yourself somewhere between price points and that is fine. You get to choose which price point fits most comfortably at any given time. \nParticipant Information\nPlease arrive five or ten minutes before the class starts – latecomers may not be admitted. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing allowing movement – light layers are best as we can warm up and cool down quickly between different stages of the class. \nPart of the session includes laughter meditation where you have the option of lying down (or you can be seated in a chair). If you have a favourite yoga mat or blanket you’d like to bring along\, please do\, however we also have a limited supply of them here that you can use on the day. \nThese Laughter For Health & Happiness classes are totally inclusive and welcome everyone of all fitness levels and mobility; wheelchair users are welcome (as are Carers and Support Workers for those who need physical assistance) and people who find it difficult to stand or cope with moving around can do the whole class seated. \nThese classes will include elements of Laughter Yoga which is an aerobic exercise that may not be suitable for people suffering from uncontrolled blood pressure\, heart disease\, epilepsy\, any kind of hernia\, severe back pain\, abdominal surgery within the last 3 months and major psychiatric conditions. If these conditions do not apply but during the class you experience pain\, discomfort or breathlessness then take a break – have a seat and take some time out to rest – and perhaps then continue with restraint or more gently. If you have any doubt about continuing then simply stop. If you are unsure as to whether you should participate – please consult your GP before attending.
