Wellness Session & Laughter Yoga

Quiet Connections Meet Up in Truro with Happy-Go Yoga

Gently connecting with each other and boosting our wellbeing with playful laughter!

Wellness Session with Happy-Go Yoga

Thursday 24th November, Colours Cafe, Truro at 6-7pm

‘Happy Go Yoga’ love nothing more than getting people happy, healthy and enjoying life.

Check out Happy-Go here: www.happy-go.co.uk

What we’re doing: 

Happiness specialist, Emma Graham, will be delivering a wellness session of mindfulness, laughter exercises, breathing techniques, gentle movement to music and relaxation. The perfect opportunity to ease tension, let go, release some feel-good hormones, and enjoy a laugh in safe company.

"When I’m in a situation where I feel anxious, I use laughter to get my brain to choose to continue to be anxious or to get happy, as it can’t be both at the same time… and it works, quickly and effectively." - Emma Graham

We'll literally be receiving a DOSE* (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins) of healthy, mood-boosting, happy happening, pain relieving, stress reducing, immune-boosting, blood pressure reducing, natural medicine for all those challenging situations we can find ourselves in.

And just in case you were wondering... whilst it's called 'Yoga', there isn't any typical yoga involved; you do NOT need to bring a mat, and you can wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

You must register to let us know you are coming.

Hi, I'm Michele! I'm running the gathering alongside Emma from Happy-Go Yoga.

Our Quiet Meet Up gatherings are a safe space for those of us who are quieter and feel anxious in social situations. You’ll be part of a friendly group of like-minded individuals with similar feelings and stories in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Use the time and space to quietly connect and enjoy yourself in a way that feels comfortable for you.

We know how scary it can be meeting new people and going to new places so we believe that getting as far as the car park and through the door is a huge win for many of us! There's no need to set a big goal to speak and participate, you're invited to go at your own pace.

Here's what you can expect:

  • It's okay to talk, and it's okay to be quiet too. We understand that you may prefer to ease into conversation gradually, or want to simply enjoy sharing company with others. We welcome quietude and chatter.
  • We encourage you to go at your own pace. There's never any pressure to participate more than what feels right and good for you.

What Quieteers are saying about the Wellness Session & Laughter Yoga MeetUp...

"I was interested in trying out laughter yoga after seeing it on TV, and I wanted to stretch my comfort zone. I felt better after taking part, I enjoyed the feeling of happiness and calm after completing the session. Thank you for putting on this event. I have been able to learn new tools to help me with anxiety."
