Do you play enough? Do you have enough fun? Do you feel connected with yourself and others? Are you at peace with yourself and the world, at least sometimes?
Experience a fun-filled hour or two where you can relax, play, get centered, be in touch with your senses and get to know yourself better.
What Are LynnLevity Playshops?
Beginner * Intermediate * Clowning in the Park!
Based on the theme of the LynnLevity website, these playshops are designed to help participants bring more joy, laughter, awareness of body and mind, centeredness and, ultimately, personal transformation into their daily lives.
A unique blend of exercises, including clowning, energy, play, relaxation and touch are presented in a friendly and supportive environment. Here’s what some recent participants had to say:
“I feel free…” “First time I’ve done this, it was an amazing experience! Will incorporate in my daily life.” “Clowning pushed me to imagine things and try new things on.”
Overall Impressions:
“Delightful!” “Interesting, Fun, Exciting!” “Helps people to overcome certain mental/social walls and barriers.” “Fun, Liberating, Self-Esteem Enhancing!” “Good Exercises, Fun, Positive Energy!”
Beginner – Easing into Play
On a spicy food scale, this would be “Mild”
This level is for you if:
- You’ve been wanting to play more and you’re ready to take that first step, safely and slowly
- You’re ready to start letting your hair down and express yourself more
- You’re beginning to explore your boundaries and push them just a bit
The Beginner Playshop will include a variety of exercises such as movement, clowning, play, sensual food meditation, chanting/toning, mini reflexology sessions and centering/energy.
Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in. There is a changing room in the studio. We will also be taking our shoes off, so bring/wear socks if you wish.
See the Events page for more details and to register.
Intermediate – Jumping in with Both Feet
On a spicy food scale scale, this would be “Medium”
This level is for you if:
- You’ve been really wanting to play more, just didn’t know where to go!
- You’re already comfortable with expressing yourself in the world
- You are open to new challenges and truly enjoy pushing your boundaries
The Intermediate Playshop will include some of the same exercises as the Beginner level, but to a deeper and more extensive degree. It will also include Tantric exercises (no sex or nudity involved) in a safe, respectful and comfortable environment.

Clowning in the Park!
Remember When All You Had to do Was Play? Join Us for this Guided Adventure and Play Like a Little Kid Again – No Experience Necessary!
Led by Experienced, Patient and Supportive Clowns. Just Bring Your Playful Self and Enjoy:
~ A Unique Way to Build Self-Esteem
~ Delight in Connecting with Others
~ A Fun Way to Work Out in Central Park
All you have to do is put on a clown nose and you will be transported back in time to when the world was your playground. It can be again…! The park becomes a magical place where boundaries shift and the normal is questioned.
A beautiful, spontaneous clowning moment with a woman reading in the park. Normally we’d pass right by, but because we’re clowns we can play with innocent park-goers.
We’ll start out by playing warm-up games with each other to get our energy flowing and feel connected.
Then, from the fun we’re creating, we’ll include others in the park in our merriment. The clown’s sensitivity helps us know who wants to play. The clown’s energy creates the joyful shared moment! You’ll learn about how to listen with all your senses for opportunities to play and how to jump into them. You’ll also learn the grace of moving in and of moving on from a connection. We stay as a group for the entire event.
In the words of one of our fabulous Clowning leaders, Barbara Ann Michaels:
“Engage with other friendly folk in a free frolic! Our aims are to bring merriment to the public and to discover ourselves as clowns via beautiful moments. This is a “clown jam” in which the rules of improv apply: say ‘yes’, say ‘and’, move in and move on from what happens. Clown noses will be provided.
Bring your open playful attitude…”
Limited time only!
This LynnLevity Playshop is only offered while the weather is warm, so be sure to experience this delightful event as often as you can!
