Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga is based on the philosophy of “acting happiness” – tell your body what to do and your mind will follow. It is a physically-oriented exercise routine, not a mental process; therefore, anyone can laugh without using jokes, humor or comedy. Laughter Yoga follows a series of simple, yet structured laughter and yogic breathing techniques, combined with simple stretching. Laughter Yoga is very different from the yoga of meditation and yoga postures. It has no pretzel positions, needs no special clothes or training. You don’t even have to be feeling happy or in a good mood, just be laughter yogaprepared to laugh. The results are instant --- you feel the full benefits from your first Laughter Yoga session.
