On March 12, 2024, the PYNKS support group and a few BCRC-WA staff members embarked on a laughter-filled journey through a Laughter Yoga session. Led by Janet Whitfield of Abundant Laughter, the session was a heartwarming blend of playfulness, connection, and therapeutic laughter.

Abundant Laughter, known for its transformative experiences fostering joy and camaraderie, was the perfect guide for this uplifting session. Janet brought her expertise to the PYNKS support group, creating an atmosphere of positivity and shared laughter.

Laughter Yoga is a group activity that combines laughter exercises and deep breathing techniques from yoga. Through simulated laughter, gentle movements, and rhythmic hand clapping, participants engage in a joyous and contagious exchange of laughter.

BCRC-WA is committed to providing support to individuals facing breast cancer and we continuously seek to offer enriching opportunities like the Laughter Yoga session. These initiatives are made possible through the generosity of donors who recognise the importance of uplifting experiences in the journey towards healing. Through their contributions, BCRC-WA can organise events that foster connection, resilience, and joy, empowering individuals to navigate the challenges of their diagnosis with strength and positivity.

With gratitude to Janet Whitfield and Abundant Laughter, the PYNKS support group looks forward to future laughter-filled adventures, united in their pursuit of joy and healing.
