Like many services and businesses, HAHA is on a bit of a pause considering the current restrictions. However, this does not mean we should pause the laughter! Please do what you can to keep laughing and keep letting out your inner child. As much as possible, go outside, breathe fresh air, make jokes, spend time around children, watch and listen to media that is light-hearted and inspirational, commit to screen-free days or weekends, play music, dance with your spouse and family members, and marvel at the beauty of our bodies and our world.

To close, one member decided to sum it up in four words, all beginning with ‘L’. It quickly became the mantra of the practice. So here it is: THE MEANING OF LIFE IN FOUR WORDS:
