Summer Laughter Party

Next date: Saturday, August 08, 2026 | 05:30 PM to 06:30 PM

Kick off your Saturday evening with an uplifting Laughter Yoga experience led by two-time American Laughter Champion and 2023 World Laughter Champion, Carla H. Brown, from 5:30–6:30 p.m., including spontaneous laughter interludes.

Never tried Laughter Yoga? You’re in for a treat! Laughter Yoga is a playful, guided practice that blends intentional laughter, simple movement, deep breathing, and connection to help reduce stress, boost your mood, and awaken your natural joy. You don’t have to be happy to laugh; we laugh first, and our bodies naturally respond with many of the same feel-good benefits as spontaneous laughter.

Come reset your nervous system in one of the most joyful ways possible: laughing together in community. Stay for the whole experience or pause for a few minutes. Bring your friends, your family, and your curiosity, and come away with a sense of well-being and joy!

Free, All Ages, Accessible, and Open to the Public. No experience necessary. This is not a "normal" yoga class. No equipment, mats, or activity "on the ground" (just your feet...!)

RSVPs are helpful but not required; day-of pop-ins are encouraged.

Part of Public Benefit: Pop-Ups in the POPOS, an ongoing public art project by Lisa Van Dusen that activates Palo Alto’s hidden Privately Owned Public Open Spaces (POPOS).

This activation is funded in part by the ArtLift Grant Program, City of Palo Alto Public Art Program, supported by Ettan Cal-Indian Cuisine, and is a Magical Series event, in partnership with Magical Bridge Foundation.
