On Monday, June 24, the American Association of University Women, Batavia-St. Charles-Geneva branch, is offering a Laughter Yoga session from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave. (Route 31).

Instructors are AAUW members Bonnie Gillespie and Irina Schulman.

Laughter yoga is based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides physiological and psychological benefits. No yoga mats or special equipment are needed. It will be done with movement, eye contact, jokes, hand-clapping and playfulness. Chairs are provided.

No fee is required, but the AAUW will accept donations for its gender equity fund, which benefits education for women and girls.
