Laura Gentry

LIVE LIFE LAUGHING
8:30-9:00am

Because laughter is the best medicine, Laura Gentry gives us a healthy dose of it! Using a method called Laughter Yoga, she leads us through an interactive experience to show the amazing power of laughter—and how it can be used anytime, even without jokes.

Most adults laugh only 17 times a day, which is not nearly enough. Laughter is an outstanding health booster that protects you from heart disease, helps reduces stress, boosts your immune system, relieves pain naturally and makes you feel terrific. Come give laughter a whirl!

Laura Gentry has been featured in the press and television, including Oprah. She is the director of the Iowa School of Laughter Yoga and producer of the DVD, "Laughter Friends: A Laughter Yoga Workout for Kids." She is also an artist, author, motivational speaker, and Lutheran minister. Her web site can be found at www.laughteryogaiowa.com.
