Are women hard-wired for this from birth?

From Leigh
I'm starting to teach the women at the ACRJ (jail) Monday for an 8-week, twice-a-week laughter "therapy" class again. I'm excited. My intuitive gifts usually surface when I'm volunteering with women inmates at the jail. Maybe it's because there is such strong, recognized need for levity and reconnetion with original, innocent laughter. It's fun to stay true to the basics of laughter yoga, but to also lead a class by the moment according to what comes to mind - and have that be powerful - relevant - for the women. I regularly see "ah has" happening with the "ha has". I'm going to invest some energy to get enough waivers signed to put our laughing inmates group on youtube. They may inspire the world!
Mother Teresa said to give our strongest gifts to the poor. Maybe she said that because she saw so many people have their strongest gifts come forth as they were helping her. Even if you think you have nothing to give, just start. You may discover how much is inside of you that just needed to be needed.
(Let me know if you're a video expert, please!)
If you can come to Yogaville for the CLYL and Laugh-a YogaŽ Teacher Trainings, please find me! I plan to be there to help and would love to meet you. I highly recommend these trainings to anyone who has any interest in laughter yoga. When I heard about laughter yoga, I knew immediately that I not only wanted to lead it but needed to -- and received my leader training at Yogaville. Bharata Wingham has been laughing for over a decade and helping others do the same. He's a seasoned leader of diverse groups and will rejuvenate and revive your laugh. Plus, being at Yogaville was refreshing for me. Time for quiet contemplation is built into the schedule as well as meals full of yummy organic veggies. (PS - Sign up by Monday & get $100 off. Very good, yay!)
In September, I'll send out our fall schedule - so far, we have plans to be new places and to be offering at least one extended laughter yoga retreat at Bridge Between the Worlds.
Hope to see you!
