Surprise! Surprise!

Whew! We had a full day of laughter with the staff from two local schools, Garfield Elementary and John Harris Elementary, today. The principals of each school introduced Laughter Yoga as a surprise to the staff as part of their busy day of getting ready to welcome the kids back to school next week.

We started each presentation off with the Pledge of Allegiance. But this pledge called for a hand on your heart, a index finger on someone else’s nose, and words that pledged allegiance to fun and playfulness. Hahaha!

School Administrators Laugh For No Reason

Jill & Dan had a great time sharing Laughter Yoga with school administrators at their annual late summer meeting. Dr. Pam Homan, Superintendent of the Sioux Falls Public Schools, thought Laughter Yoga would be a great activity - and she got an “A+” for her efforts! The afternoon time slot is where Pam usually schedules fun team building activities for the administrators, and this time they not only had a great time laughing, but learned valuable tools to make their lives more joyful on a daily basis. Read on and take a look at these principals faces! Very good, very good, yay!

JazzFest 2010

Every July, for the past 19 years, we've had a jazz and blues festival in our city, Sioux Falls, SD, called JazzFest. This year it included Thursday night, as well as Friday night and all day Saturday. And, we’re proud to say, we were there all three days. The motto of JazzFest is “It’s hot, be cool!” - and boy was it ever!! Hot temps and the coolest music this side of Louisiana.

Can you tell us what music moves you? What makes you feel as if you’ve peeled open your heart and soul to God, nature, a cold brewsky and good friends? Well, we can attest that this past weekend we were singing, dancing and laughing at the feet of Marcia Ball, roadhouse blues artist from Louisiana.
