the laughter salon with francine

Francine Shore | Laughter Ambassador | Laughter Therapist | Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher

The Laughter Salon with Francine Shore is designed for baby boomers and gen Xers. These workshops infuse cardio-vascular movement with a Laughter Lifestyle and are celebrated as the "New Yoga". Laughter yoga is performed standing up and is based on yogic principles that integrate laughter exercises with movement, stretching, deep breathing and laughter meditation.

At Francine's Laughter Salon we will explore some issues that our generations face: size and body acceptance, challenges and losses, addictions, staying positive when the news is not so, milestone celebrations, and how to feel sexy and possess that jour de funntabulosity, as experienced through yogic laughter!

Some of Laughter Yoga's health perks include: strengthens the immune system, reduction of stress and anxiety, lowers blood pressure, burns an average of 400 calories per hour, enhances creativity, productivity, promotes positive thinking, alleviates arthritis, improves breathing, laughing people look better (cheaper then botox), and laughter is low-carb!

Francine Shore has been featured in: WNBC's Saturday Today in NY, The Hallmark Channel, Reuters News, NY-1News, Greenstone Media Radio, Ladies Home Journal, New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, TimeOut New York, The NY Daily News, Newsday, AM NY, The Villager, Russian TV, Taiwan TV, and Deep's Cortiva Magazine.
