Chair/Laughter Yoga

The Hilarious New Resident Activity 

Temiskaming Lodge - Haileybury, Long-Term Care

On June 29th, 2016 we had the pleasure of having Colleen Dolce come in to teach a Chair/Laughter Yoga Class to our residents. She came from Thunder Bay and was making her way across Canada and our home was one of the many stops she made.

Laughter Yoga combines simple laughter exercises, clapping, chanting and gentle yoga breathing and body movement. The residents also did some stretching of their arms and fingers. They used ties to lift their legs and flex their feet. What a wonderful activity for seniors to enjoy - a hilarious new resident program!

After the class was all done, the residents felt both relaxed and energized. Thank you to Colleen for bringing a different program into our residents home.
