Laughter Yoga on Zoom: Join, Laugh, Connect!
2026-07-22 13:00 - 14:00
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!
Here’s what some of the June participants said: ?
I feel like I’m rising with bubbles, like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
I feel less stiff and more flexible.
I went from a 5 to an 8 out of 10!
I’m more energized, with a good attitude! ?
Join 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.
How to join:

Contact me for the Zoom link
or 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!)

Laughter 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!).
Find out more about the practice at www.laughteryoga.org, and more about me at www.fierceafter45.com.
I’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.
I hope to see you!

Free Zoom Workshop: Pelvic Floor Strength Training!
2026-07-24 12:00 - 13:00
It’s hidden away in a private area of the body, and it’s often neglected. But the pelvic floor actually forms the base of our core, and it is key to our quality of life!
Join me for a 1-hour workshop where we’ll learn and practice simple pelvic floor strength training techniques that are easy to incorporate in your daily routine, and can help reverse or prevent problems like leaks, urgency, excessive frequency, tightness, and getting up more than once at night.
What to bring: Please have a squishy ball or cushion that you can squeeze between your thighs.
This online workshop is aimed at women of all ages, and it’s free with truly optional donations.
Sign up here and please share with other women! Hope to see you!

Relax and Release (Virtual): Delicious Face/Neck Self-Massage, and Lovingkindness Toward Ourselves and Our Bodies
2026-07-30 13:30 - 14:15
Please jump in on Zoom and join other wonderful, caring, thoughtful people as we release physical, mental and emotional stress with a range of simple but powerful mind-body practices.
This month we will do some gentle self-massage for our faces and necks (it’s amazing how much tension we can release!), and then we will share a guided practice to turn lovingkindness toward ourselves, our bodies, and other beings.
Then we discuss and share the ideas and insights we are gaining — I love the honesty and unconditional support we experience in this group!
Each segment takes about 15 minutes, so it’s a 45-minute session, but feel free to come and go as you need to.
Please email me to RSVP and I’ll email you the direct Zoom link. Hope to see you!
