My journey on the path of laughter
My relationship with laughter took shape twelve years ago and since then, it has been a path of ceaseless discovery that I adore. If you have shared laughs with me, either in person or virtually, I want to express my gratitude for being part of this incredible adventure.
It was in 2010 when, browsing the web in search of tools to share with my Spanish-speaking community group in Toronto, I discovered Therapeutic Yoga. This discipline resonated with me in such a way that I soon found myself learning from Duncan Cook, a master of Therapeutic Yoga.
I remember the first day, I felt disoriented and intimidated, I wasn't sure why I was there or what I was hoping to get. But I decided to keep an open mind and let myself go to see what would unfold.
Three months later, I had the honor of meeting Dr. Madan Kataria in Orlando, Florida, during my Therapeutic Yoga Teacher certification. Later, I discovered the discipline of RisAejercicios thanks to Albert Nerenberg, who trained me as a workshop and RisAejercicios party leader, and I became one of the few fortunate ones to acquire such experience. With a constant desire to learn more, these trainings gave me a deeper understanding of the benefits of breathing and relaxing the body and mind.
