"LAUGHTER WELLNESS" with Sherry and Frank Avila. Sherry and Frank Avila have participated in Laughter Wellness since 2004 when they attended a weekly Laughter Club in Park Ridge with Master Laughter Teacher Lynda Tourloukis. Sherry received a Laughter Leader Certificate (2013) and a Teacher Certificate (2016) from Lynda Tourloukis. Sherry and Frank each received a Laughter Teacher Certificate (January, 2017) from medical doctor Madan Kataria in Bangalore, India. Sherry presented “The Blue Bird of Happiness” at the 2018 Annual Laugh Fest in Ferryville, WI. They have presented Laughter to churches, Laugh Fest, Conferences, Boy and Girl Scouts, Seniors, hospitals, and more.
Sherry and Frank will engage you in Laughter combining prolonged unconditional laughter with eye-contact, breathing, movement, and a child-like playfulness. You do not need a sense of humor, jokes, or comedy to participate. Laughter exercises are combined with breathing bringing oxygen to the body and brain so that you feel more energetic and healthy. Briefly, Laughter increases: (1.) Happiness; (2.) Hopefulness; (3.) Heartfeltness; (4.) Health; and (5.) Harmony. Laughter Wellness is found in over 53 countries. There are about 5,000 Laughter Yoga clubs worldwide, with about 200 of those in the United States.
