When was the last time you had a good laugh? Kids laugh up to 400 times a day, but adults, just 15 times. Laughter has incredible benefits for your physical and mental health. It can boost your mood, strengthen your relationships and counter the effects of stress.

Lastly, you will have an opportunity to practice laughter exercises led by Maag to feel the benefits of laughter in these current times.
