What Is Laughter Yoga?

Remember when TV's Mary Richards went into a laughing spasm at the Chuckles the Clown’s funeral? Laughing, even at the wrong time, is healthy. Laughter Yoga, a simple-but-powerful form of exercise, brings oxygen to the brain, making the body feel more energetic and healthier. You don’t even need a sense of humor to benefit. Childlike playfulness turns fake laughter into the real thing. Your body doesn't know the difference.

Laughter Yoga uses scientifically backed exercises that provide effective health benefits, whether the laughter is real or fake. This idea, fast sweeping the world, has laughter clubs popping up all over. Laughter Yoga is practiced in companies and corporations, fitness centers, yoga studios, senior facilities, schools, colleges and universities, by various self-help groups for the physically and mentally challenged, and patients with serious illnesses. C’mon and laugh with us.

What Laughter Yoga Does For You?

Laughter Yoga programs offer simulated laughter exercises that add new dimensions to the important teachings of humor activists. Laughter Yoga is the only form of exercise that allows you to laugh heartily, engaging your diaphragm for an extended period of time for no reason whatsoever. Such feel good programs, led by Laughter Yoga professionals, are always welcome. Everyone loves to laugh.

In classes of 20 to 60 minutes, participants play well with others, without judgment or competition, like you did as a child. Use the Laughter Enrichment programs as ongoing activities at senior healthcare facilities, during organized workshops or conferences, and to promote creative activities for education programs for professionals. Enrich the lives of people you work with, as well as people you work for. Inquire about Laughter Yoga programs today.

What Laughter Yoga Is Not

Laughter Yoga is NOT about lecturing, wearing funny hats, or squirting water balloons. It is all about laughing, loud and with abandon, exercising tummy muscles and massaging you all over.

Laughter Yoga leaders do not do standup comedy, slapstick, or other varieties of laugh promoting nonsense. Laughter Yoga leaders simply begin to laugh and encourage participants to join in. Believe it! When a couple people are snickering and tee-heeing, others join in. Before you know it, the whole room is shaking with laughter that dumps troubles, ditches stress, and makes everyone feel so much better.
