RTNT Episode 30 LIVE on CJRU: Laughter Yoga with Steven Hughes

Radio Totally Normal Toronto, or RTNT for short, is a voice for community mental health; produced by the members and staff of Progress Place, a mental wellness clubhouse in downtown Toronto. Episode 30 was hosted on June 10th, 2020. This month we sat down with Steven Hughes. The episode was recorded using an online platform and all the participants were in their own homes to comply with the social distancing recommendation.  On this episode we have an interview with Steven Hughes, a Laughter Yoga teacher and Education Specialist from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto. He has been a certified Yoga teacher since 1985 and today he is going to explain what Laughter Yoga is and what are its benefits to our physical and mental health. We think that this topic is important at this time because it can provide us with better ways to cope with stress and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
