Discover the Joy of Laughter Yoga!

Laughter Yoga is a gentle, feel-good event for all ages and

abilities. It combines unconditional laughter with yogic

breathing. Sessions begin with gentle stretching, chanting,

clapping, and body movement. Next comes the breathing ex-

ercise, to prepare the lungs for laughter. This is followed by

a series of “laughter exercises” that include fun, playful

games. These games, along with the personalities of the

group, undoubtedly lead to fits of laughter that go on and on.

Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga can lead to an almost immediate better mood due to

the release of endorphins that happens when participating in a ses-

sion! Laughter Yoga brings more oxygen to the brain, which helps

participants feel more healthy and energetic.

Honoring those 100 years and better!

Those that have reached 100 years and better are part of the

Centenarian Club. Home Bound Healthcare wishes to shine

the spotlight on this milestone by honoring centenarians in

the community.

Centenarians may be honored with a cake, a bouquet, and a

catered meal for the guest of honor and their family. The

celebration may take place in the centenarian’s home, the

HBH office, or at another planned location.

Centenarian Club

Anyone turning 100 in the upcoming year, or those that have

already reached this milestone are invited to participate!

HBH promotes good health with Wellness Clinics!

Our wellness clinics offer residents the opportunity to be

proactive about their health.

At a wellness clinic, a Home Bound Healthcare nurse will

check blood pressure and listen to the heart and lungs of

anyone that wishes to participate. Participants are given a

blood pressure card to bring with them the next time they

get their blood pressure checked. This allows residents to

be involved and take an interest in their health.

The nurse will also be available to listen to health concerns

and answer health related questions.

Help your clients to be proactive about their health!

Wellness Clinics
