🌈 Welcome to the Adult Recess Club

A Mindful Playground for High-Achievers to Laugh, Breathe, and Rest

Because grown-ups deserve a freaking hallpass too.

You’ve spent your life chasing deadlines, not daydreams — and your nervous system’s begging for a breather.

Welcome to the corner of the internet where productivity takes a nap, perfectionism gets detention, and your nervous system finally gets a juice box.

The Adult Recess Club is where high-functioning humans come to exhale, laugh, and reconnect with their spark — no gold stars required.

Inside, you’ll find:
💬 Mindful moments that actually feel doable
😂 Belly laughs and playful connection through Laughter Yoga
😴 Guided rest and reset through Yoga Nidra

This isn’t therapy or coaching. It’s recess — for your nervous system, your sense of humor, and your inner kiddo who’s been waiting for their turn on the swings.

🎠 What Happens Here

We play three times a week — come to one, or all:

All sessions happen at 12 p.m. CST / 1 p.m. EST / 10 a.m. PST.

🪷 Mindful Mondays
Start your week grounded — not perfect. This isn’t about “clearing your mind” or stopping your thoughts. It’s about getting curious about what’s here, without judgment. You can fidget, wander, or wonder — it all counts..

😂 Laughter Yoga Wacka Wacka Wednesdays


Yes, named after Fozzie Bear. Expect laughter yoga, joy prompts, and playful breathwork to shake off stress and reset your mood.

😴 Nidra Fridays


Wrap your week in the softest kind of rebellion: doing absolutely nothing on purpose. Guided rest that hits “reset” on your whole system.

Ready to trade burnout for a judgment-free zone?

You don’t have to have it all together to show up. Around here, curiosity counts as participation — and your presence is more than enough.

💛 The Vibe

Think grown-up slumber party meets mindfulness studio.
We’ve got eight simple playground rules:

Image

Come as you are

Messy, sparkly, sleepy, all versions welcome.

Image

Respect the playground

We’re building a brave, kind space where curiosity beats comparison.

Image

No fixing — just listening

Everyone’s story matters. You don’t need to coach, solve, or save anyone here.

Image

Keep curiosity close

Trade judgment for wonder. Ask questions. Explore with your inner scientist.

Image

Take care of your body and your boundaries

Hydrate, stretch, or take breaks whenever you need. You’re your own best advocate.

Image

Play nice (literally)

We take mindfulness seriously, not ourselves. Lighthearted energy is always welcome.

Image

Bring the energy you want to feel

Be the vibe you want to attract — calm, curious, or giggly, it’s all contagious.

Image

Remember: you can’t get this wrong

If you’re here, your inner kiddo’s already winning.

💬 Frequently Asked (Playground) Questions

Questions are welcome here — curiosity is part of the playground.

🧘 What’s Mindfulness Meditation?

Mindfulness is simply paying attention on purpose — without trying to change anything. It’s not about “clearing your mind.” It’s about noticing what’s here, with kindness and curiosity.

😂 What’s Laughter Yoga?

Laughter Yoga combines deep breathing and intentional laughter to lower stress hormones, boost oxygen flow, and rewire your body’s response to stress. You don’t have to feel funny or fake it — your body takes care of the chemistry, you just bring the willingness.

😴 What’s Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra means “yogic sleep.” It’s a guided practice that invites your body into deep rest while your mind stays gently aware. It’s not about napping — it’s about allowing your system to rest, digest, and restore balance.

💻 What do I need to participate?

These sessions are 100% virtual — all you need is a stable internet connection, a quiet space (even your parked car works!), and a camera for community-based sessions like Laughter Yoga. You’ll also want a notebook or journal nearby, and a cozy spot to lie down for Yoga Nidra.

⏰ When does Recess happen?

These sessions are 100% virtual — all you need is a stable internet connection, a quiet space (even your parked car works!), and a camera for community-based sessions like Laughter Yoga. You’ll also want a notebook or journal nearby, and a cozy spot to lie down for Yoga Nidra.

💭 “I’m not great at meditating… what if I can’t turn off my brain?”

Perfect — you’re already doing it right. Mindfulness isn’t about stopping your thoughts; it’s about noticing them. If your brain’s busy, congratulations — it’s working. You just practice watching it without judgment.

🎭 “What if I feel awkward laughing on purpose?”

Totally normal. Everyone does at first. Within minutes, the laughter becomes genuine — and that’s the magic.

Spoiler, your brain and body can’t tell the difference between real and intentional laughter. The benefits are the same.

😴 “What if I fall asleep during Yoga Nidra?”

Totally normal — and honestly, kind of a compliment to your nervous system! Yoga Nidra guides you to the edge of sleep, where your body can deeply rest while your mind stays aware. If you do drift off, it just means your body needed the rest more than the practice. You still receive many of the same benefits.
Over time, you’ll learn to ride that line between awake and asleep — the sweet spot of conscious relaxation.

📹 “Do I have to turn on my camera?”

During Laughter Yoga, yes — seeing each other helps create connection and trust (and contagious laughter!). I would certainly love to see your face at each session, but otherwise, camera-on or off is up to you.

Show up how you feel comfortable.

🧍 “Do I have to share during sessions?”

Nope. You’re always invited, never required. Share when it feels right, listen when you need to, and rest when you want to.

🧘 “Do I need experience with yoga or meditation?”

Not at all. Everything we do here is beginner-friendly and designed to meet you exactly where you are.

If you can breathe, you can play here.

❤️ “What if I get emotional during a session?”

Beautiful — that means your nervous system feels safe enough to release.
Take a pause, breathe, or step away if you need to. You can always come back when you’re ready.

📅 “Do I have to attend every session?”

Nope! Come to one, two, or all three — whatever your schedule and energy allow.
You’ll get access to replays if you miss a session.

🌈 “Is this therapy?”

No — this is community care, not clinical care.
Think of this as your
mindfulness playground, not a doctor’s office.
We’re here to practice presence, connection, and joy — not to diagnose, treat, or replace therapy.
If therapy is your gym for healing, this space is your park — a place to breathe, stretch, and remember your own strength.
