Laughter truly is the best medicine! Back in late May, Darron and I had an absolute blast “laughing it off” with the wonderful residents of Thrive. A huge thank-you to the lovely Caryl Derenfeld for hosting an unforgettable session of Laughter Yoga. We laughed our way through the entire afternoon, and we can still feel the energy from that room.
Moments like these remind us how powerful connection, joy, and a little bit of silliness can be for overall wellbeing, especially for older adults. Laughter Yoga combines simple guided movement, clapping, and playful laughter to reduce stress, boost mood, strengthen the immune system, and build social connection. It’s a wonderful example of how community and humor come together to support both mental and physical health.
