LOL Holistic Yoga with Dorothy Pincus

LY offers a joyful social bonding between participants. Laughter has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. Blood pressure is lowered overall and resting heart rate decreases.  When you laugh, more oxygen ends up in the tissues of the body, Laughter also encourages the body to produce oxytocin, the same hormone released during labor which relaxes the cervix.  Laughter Yoga has been shown to reduce pain by blocking the message to the brain that pain is occurring. In other words, "The mind does not know that we’re faking it”.
