What’s it all about?

In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become an inherent component of modern day living. Have we just become far too serious with life itself? Working exceedingly hard to get that promotion? Searching everywhere to find that perfect partner? Doing everything possible to buy that beautiful home?

When life gets a bit too much, what’s the best way to loosen up? To laugh and play! Through intentional laughter, conscious play, and creative meditation, we can return to a childlike state of playfulness and spontaneity. This lets us feel more connected with ourselves and with others.

What will we cover?

In a laughter zen playshop (yes, it is not a ‘workshop’), we will combine laughter yoga and guided meditation into one fun and reflective session.

Laughter yoga is an aerobic exercise using voluntary and intentional laughing (without jokes). It is an exhaling process to clear the stale air in your body, making space for fresh oxygen. Let go of any pre-conceived ideas about when and how to laugh, so you can be more present and willing to play like children (again)!

We will finish the playshop with a guided meditation. This allows the joy of laughing and play to be grounded deeper in your body and mind to create an inner connection and space with ourselves.

Who will be teaching?

Elva Zhang is the founder of Peace Lab, but she prefers to calling herself the ‘Chief Experimenter’, since it is a ‘Lab’ after all.

Elva is a lawyer by trade, who used to be overly serious! Peace Lab was therefore born out of her own experience dealing with stress, anxiety and negative self-talks. But now she feels very lucky that she can share peace and joy with others through her creative project of Peace Lab, while still being able to use her intellectual brain by working as a lawyer. You can connect with Elva by visiting her website, Instagram and Facebook.
