What is Laughter Yoga?

Laughter Yoga is a blend of yoga breath techniques and gentle laughter. It

is physically-oriented and does not rely on the mind at all. As a result, you

don't need to be happy, have a sense of humour, or even have a reason in

order to laugh. Laughter Yoga is based on the philosophy of " acting happiness " .

You learn to simulate laughter until it flows out like a fountain. It is

both relaxing and invigorating at the same time. Laughter Yoga develops your

inner spirit of laughter - also called the Joy of Laughter. Laughter Yoga is

also an aerobic form of exercise. One minute of laughter is equal to 10 minutes

on the rowing machine!

_Laughter Yoga_ (http://www.laughteryoga.org/) is the creation of Dr. Madan

Kataria, a physician from India, and his wife, Madhuri, a yoga teacher. The

movement began in 1995 with 5 people in the first Laughter Club and now has

over 5,000 Laughter Clubs around the world.

Laughter - the universal language.

(10 good reasons to laugh for no reason)

1. Laughter is a stress buster.

2. Laughter strengthens the immune system and helps maintain good

health.

3. Laughter is anti-aging. It increases blood supply to the face,

nourishing the skin and making it glow.

4. Laughter is an aerobic exercise equivalent to any other standard

aerobic exercise.

5. Laughter increases the level of endorphins - the body's natural pain

killers.

6. Laughter helps control high blood pressure by reducing the release

of stress-related hormones.

7. Laughter helps dump depression, anxiety and psychosomatic disorders.

8. Laughter Yoga makes us more creative and imaginative. It

improves our sense of humour.

9. Laughter shrinks the hurts of everyday life to a smaller, if not

inconsequential size. It interrupts the power struggle and defuses anger by

releasing it.

10. Laughter helps individuals be more self-confident and

self-expressive.
