16.10.2023
In collaboration with Bodrum Municipality and the Terapi Yaşam Sanat Workshop, a Comprehensive Health event was organized under the auspices of Bodrum Municipality's Agricultural Services Directorate.
The event took place at Etrim Garaova Agricultural Park and was attended by Deputy Mayor Tayfun Yılmaz, local producers from the Bodrum Agricultural Development Cooperative and a significant number of residents from neighboring districts.
During the event, led by Funda Sayın, the Founder of Istanbul's Workshop Piera, participants engaged in "Laughter Yoga." Using laughter exercises and yoga breathing techniques, various exercises were experienced over a 50-minute session. Funda Sayın provided information on Comprehensive Health to both Bodrum locals and visitors.
Turkish Biologist Professor and Academican Ali Demirsoy shared insights on the human brain and cells in a tent located within the park. Furthermore, health teams from the Bodrum District Health Directorate provided free health screenings and educational sessions for the attendees.
Ekin Gülseren Duyar, the Coordinator of the Comprehensive Health Event, stated, "When we refer to comprehensive health, we emphasize the importance of not only the body but also the well-being of the spirit. We stressed the significance of laughter through Laughter Yoga. Here, we learn the art of proper diaphragmatic breathing. We synchronize our body and voice, resulting in plenty of laughter. Additionally, we believe that dancing can elevate happiness hormones. We established contact with local rural producers who create natural products, making these accessible to the Bodrum community. It was a fantastic day, and we express our gratitude to Bodrum Municipality."
Through the event, participants had the opportunity to explore stands featuring healthy, locally sourced village delicacies.
