Sure. Archana R Gomati Woli Rachna Rashika K Priya K can take laughter yoga sessions.

It would be great to do a few min of Laughter Yoga in some group sessions too!

Every January we promise ourselves a healthier year, and by February most of those promises quietly fade.

As the New Year begins, many of us feel inspired to reset our health, energy, and routines. But real life does not pause for resolutions. Work, family, travel, stress, and low-energy days still show up.

That is why instead of rigid goals, this year we are inviting you to focus on yoga intentions.

Intentions shift the question from “Did I do enough?” to “Did my practice support me today?”

In this new article, we explore why most New Year yoga resolutions fade, and how setting gentle, realistic intentions can help you build a practice that actually lasts through 2026.

We recently conducted a Laughter Yoga session for children at a local school. It was a heartwarming reminder of yoga’s deeper purpose of cultivating joy, mindfulness, and emotional well-being.

Watching children discover laughter as a form of meditation was both inspiring and grounding. It reaffirmed how yoga, in all its forms, helps us reconnect with simplicity and happiness.

A heartfelt thank you to our teacher Rachna who led the session with compassion and energy.

Kanupriya: I agree with all that you said, except “age is just a number.” Clearly, you are still young! I was always active, vibrant, positive, and hopeful until age descended upon me, (in my 60’s) and my body rebelled against many previous activities. Now, at nearly 77, I have many aches and pains that have come from aging, and I don’t have the positivity I had in my youth. It takes work, focus and mindfulness to reach contentment these days. Thankfully, I have yoga to carry me through that process, while I continue to navigate unexpected aches and pains.

I had a good time too. Where can I see the pictures, videos from the event?
