Looking to add some fun to your routine? Check out these upcoming virtual classes from the Health Care Center: Laughter Yoga. We could all use a good laugh these days. Why not turn that laughter into some exercise? By combining laughter and yoga breathing, you can get more oxygen in your body, giving you more energy. All you need is a chair—no yoga mat required. This free Zoom class is sponsored by Monarch and SCAN’s Independence at Home. No RSVP required. Starting Feb. 19, classes will be held the first and third Friday of each month from 1-2 p.m. The Zoom meeting ID is 976 5589 4458.
