Yin Yoga
Yin yoga helps increase your flexibility and range of motion. It consists of poses that stretch the body in the direction where your body/joints are meant to move. Connective tissues are everywhere in the body. If you do not use your full range of flexibility, the connective tissues will slowly shorten to the minimum length needed to accommodate your activities. Poses are usually held between 2 to 5 minutes and are mainly practiced on the floor.

Laughter Yoga
In this high pressure and competitive world, natural laughter is fast disappearing. Laughter Yoga enables everyone to laugh, even those who are serious and introverted. This type of yoga is a unique concept where anyone can laugh for no reason at all - without relying on humor, jokes, or comedy. The reason it is referred to as Laughter Yoga is because it combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing. When laughter is initiated, as an exercise in a group, using eye contact and childlike playfulness, it can turn into real and contagious laughter.
