SUMMARY:(Free) Laughter Yoga Outdoors in Nottoway Park!
DESCRIPTION:Laughter Yoga has no yoga poses and no jokes — just gentle inspiration to “laugh on purpose” or “laugh for no reason.” \nLaughter brings us the benefits of exercise and even some more — stress relief and a sense of connection. If you don’t “feel like laughing\,” that’s when you can often benefit the most! \nIt’s a super-healthful (research-backed) practice which is also fun\, and you can participate according to your own comfort zone! (you are welcome to get a bit zany\, or not at all!) \nIt also includes some deep breathing and gentle movement. Find out more at www.laughteryoga.org . \nI’m a certified Laughter Yoga leader\, and I do it both professionally and as a volunteer. (I’ll be leading laughter at a marathon warmup the day before!) \nJoin me from 2 – 3 pm on Sunday\, May 3 in Nottoway Park to try this practice and feel the benefits! The park is just 1 mile from the Vienna metro station.\nI’ll bring large blankets so we can sit on the ground if desired (or use a picnic table). All you need is a water bottle. \nThis is event is posted on Finding Female Friends >50 group (of which I’m the local volunteer chapter leader)\, but guests outside that demographic are very welcome too! \nSign up on Meetup here or email me to join! Hope to see you!

SUMMARY:Falling more safely? Yes! Here's how! Free Zoom workshop
DESCRIPTION:Fall prevention is so important — but sometimes we do fall. When that happens\, people will fall resilience skills (like martial artists\, parachute jumpers\, skateboarders\, etc.) are more likely to emerge with fewer injuries\, or even catch themselves as they stumble and prevent the fall. \nLet’s learn some of these skills\, at whatever level is comfortable for each of us! \nNO need to fall on the floor in this workshop — you can gently crumple into a seated position on your chair\, or you might set up your phone/computer screen near a bed or sofa for careful practice if that works for you! \nWe’ll practice catching ourselves as we stumble\, and falling more gently by crumpling\, tucking and rolling into the fall (even practicing in a chair can build important reflexes that can help us in case of a fall!). \nNotes: \n\n\nOf course there is no way to prevent all injuries\, but these techniques can contribute to reducing our risk of serious injuries like concussion and broken bones. \n\n\nThese are not ideas that we learn once and “remember\,” but skills that we can intentionally practice to create helpful reflexes in the case of an unexpected fall. \n\n\nIf you have osteoporosis or orthopedic limitations\, you’ll stick to slow\, very low-impact demonstrations\, but these can still be helpful! \n\n\nLet me know if you have any questions! I’m a personal trainer and Functional Aging Specialist\, and along with several colleagues\, I’m excited to bring these cutting-edge skills to FFF>50 and the world! \nI’ve led this workshop in person numerous times at my county rec center\, a yoga studio and a Power Over Parkinson’s group\, and it has been very well-received. This is my first time on Zoom\, so we will see how it goes! Looking forward to sharing this with you! \nSign up on Meetup here or email me to join\, hope to see you! Will be recorded — just email me for the replay!

SUMMARY:Laughter Yoga on Zoom: Join\, Laugh\, Connect!
DESCRIPTION:Don’t feel like laughing? I get it! But “laughing on purpose” with a friendly\, supportive group on Zoom can help us feel better fast! \nHere’s what some of the June participants said: ? \nI feel like I’m rising with bubbles\, like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! \nI feel less stiff and more flexible. \nI went from a 5 to an 8 out of 10! \nI’m more energized\, with a good attitude! ? \nJoin me and a bunch of wonderful women from the nationwide group Finding Female Friends >50 for a rejuvenating “mini-spa” experience and a break from everyday life. Family members and other women younger than 50 are also welcome in this session. \nHow to join: \n\nContact me for the Zoom link\nor join our wonderful\, free nationwide network of women 50+ here (and when you do\, look for your local group too for great in-person events!)\n\nLaughter Yoga has no yoga poses and no jokes. Instead\, we do simple activities\, with a bit of gentle movement and deep breathing\, to get ourselves “laughing for no reason.” We get loose and even a little silly\, but always at your own comfort level (camera off is fine if you choose!). \nFind out more about the practice at www.laughteryoga.org\, and more about me at www.fierceafter45.com. \nI’m a certified Laughter Yoga leader as well as a health coach\, and I love this practice because it’s a super-simple and fun way to empower ourselves and boost our resilience. \nI hope to see you! \n

SUMMARY:Free Laughter Yoga with WISE Connect! (In person)
DESCRIPTION:WISE Connect is a new organization providing a huge range of free social events for adults 55+. \nAnd they’ve invited me to lead Laughter Yoga — it’s going to be a lot of fun! \nCome join us for a session of laughter yoga at the City of Fairfax Regional Library. Laughter yoga is exactly what it sounds like\, and it is a blast! It’s a fun and unique group experience built around intentional laughter. No yoga poses\, no flexibility required\, no experience necessary. Think of it as the most wonderfully unusual exercise class you’ve ever taken. This session is completely accessible for everyone — all you have to do is show up ready to laugh. Turns out laughter is genuinely good for you and doing it together with a really great group of people makes it even better! We can’t wait to see you there! \nFind out more and RSVP here !

SUMMARY:On Zoom: Introverts' Big Talk!
DESCRIPTION:For people who don’t enjoy small talk\, like many of my fellow introverts ?\, let’s dive right into “Big Talk!” \nThis is an event posted on Finding Female Friends >50\, please join our free nationwide network here . Or if you’re female and over 50 or nearly so\, you can just contact me for the Zoom link\, hope to see you! \nWe’ll use the breakout rooms to pair off by twos\, to discuss a “big” question for 14 minutes (roughly 7 minutes for each person). \nThen we’ll return to the main “room” to share brief reactions\, then move on to a new round with a new topic and a new partner. \nWe’ll enjoy a total of three rounds\, which may give us new insights into our own lives and each other\, and maybe help us connect with someone who becomes a new friend! \nRules: Active\, deep listening. Sharing the time equally. Accepting what the other says with kindness and unconditional support because it is true for them. \nHope to see you!

SUMMARY:"Pure Stretch" drop-in class at Providence Rec Center in Falls Church
DESCRIPTION:Stretching! We benefit from it so much\, but we often skip it — I know I do! \nIn this drop-in class (no registration needed\, just admission to the rec center)\, we stretch the whole body to calm music\, breathe deeply and relax. You’ll listen to your body and what it needs today — no pressure\, just tuning in and finding your own “yes\, I needed that!!” \nWe start standing and moving gently on the mat\, transition to seated\, and then spend the entire second half of the class lying down\, using a yoga strap to help stretch our hamstrings\, hips and more. \nYou’ll feel more lightness and ease in your body and mind after this 55-minute Pure Stretch session. Hope to see you! \nThe class meets regularly at 10:30 on Tuesdays\, and there is also a great session at 10:30 on Thursdays led by another instructor. \n
