Barzanò discovers the benefits of Laughter Yoga with a free course. What is it about? Of an innovative practice that allows everyone to bring more laughter into their lives. But not only that: “Laughter is an excellent psycho-physical exercise, which positively influences the body, mind and emotions, with benefits on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and social”, as explained by the Institute of the same name.
In fact, the practice has “over fifty years of scientific literature behind it, and every day millions of people around the world, of all cultures and ages, benefit from it”.

Starting from Sunday 9 November at 10.30am, the Barzanò Library will host a Laughter Yoga course, a series of free participation meetings held by trainer Ornella Marcante. The duration is approximately one hour, and no particular skills are required to participate. There are 20 places available for each lesson, and booking is recommended by sending an email to the address onamarca@gmail.com.
The meetings will continue on Sunday 16 and 30 November, and in the following weeks, as per the library’s activity calendar, also available by consulting the social profiles Facebook and Instagram.
The benefits of Laughter Yoga
Laughter Yoga – www.yogadellarisataitalia.it – is increasingly recommended for wellbeing and health prevention, it brings benefits in a very short time and can become a daily routine for people, and a wellbeing strategy in organisations: it combines laughter with yoga breathing, which brings more oxygen to the body and brain, resulting in greater energy. Behind it, in Italy, it has a specific institute, headed by professional trainers, which studies and spreads the practice through certified training courses and institutional events.
“Among its numerous benefits – they explain – it fights cardiovascular diseases by reducing the risk of heart attack, reduces or eliminates the sensation of pain, strengthens the immune system, improves cognitive functions and lowers stress”.
The initiative is part of the programming of the Barzanò Library curated and coordinated by the Culture Commission.
