What’s in The Laughter Locker?

Posted on by

Google ‘different kinds of yoga‘ as June did a couple of days ago and, depending on which link you follow, you’ll find descriptions of at least 14 styles.

Not quite an A to Z, more of an A (Ananda) to Y (Yin), but a comprehensive choice nevertheless, with some of the names – Bikram, Hatha and Hot for example – more recognisable than others.

Some of them you’ll know about and maybe even practise yourself but have you heard of – or even tried – Laughter Yoga?

Step forward Teresa Sanderson of The Laughter Locker, one of the guests on Girls Around Town this weekend, who’ll be explaining how the classes she runs combine laughter yoga, breathing, mindfulness and meditation to change mindsets for a healthier, happier you…

She’ll be talking too about lipoedema, a rare fat disease she suffers from herself that was very much a part of the reason she became a Laughter Yoga therapist.

Tune in or listen online from 10am to 12 noon on Sunday morning to find out more about Tess’s work for the charity Lipoedema UK, which appropriately enough launches its 2019 Awareness Month on Sunday too.

She’ll be joining June and Rachel in the studio for the second hour of the show – but make sure you’re listening to the first hour too, when Janice Holmes pops in to share some exciting news.

If you’re expecting any hints here, you’ll be disappointed but all will be revealed shortly after 10am on Sunday!!

Speaking to the soul

I believe painting speaks to the soul like visual poetry, giving hope and joy and inspiration

More and more these days, people are searching for antidotes to the frenetic pace of modern life. There’s a huge growth area in finding ways to reconnect, to carve out some peaceful time……yoga, meditation, mindfulness.

Whether looking at it or making it, art is the epitome of mindfulness and no one knows this better than next weekend’s guest on Girls Around Town…

A local artist who makes joyous, colourful and expressive oil paintings, Liz Goulding will be joining Rosalyn and June in the studio to talk about her work which, in addition to exhibiting her paintings, includes making bespoke items for interiors and teaching workshops and art classes.

Liz will be sharing the story of how she arrived at doing what she loves and living her authentic life. She’ll have news too of some exciting upcoming projects such as Art Journalling For The Soul, a Painting and Yoga workshop and her next exhibition, a collection of new work called Serenity.

You can see more of her work on her website – then tune in from 10am to 12 noon next Sunday or listen online  to meet Liz and learn how she’s inspired by the light, colour and texture in the world around her.
