Laughter Yoga

What is Laughter Yoga?

Laughter Yoga is a unique, newly-developed practice of laughter as a form of exercise, free of the need for jokes or comedy.  Yogic breathing techniques are integrated with intentional laughter practices.  Participants live life more joyfully and are better able to cope with whatever stresses life may bring.

Laughter Yoga was created by Dr. Madan Kataria (a physician from India) with his wife Madhuri (a yoga teacher) in 1995.  The health benefits of heartfelt laughter are now available to everyone on demand.

Gently thru’ breathing and yogic exercises, we touch your heart with playful laughter exercises and soon reach a crescendo of  excited belly laughter. No tricks, no tickling, no alcohol and no jokes. The laughter comes straight from the heart as a pure joy. As one leading personality claims “we go to the gym for physical exercise,but a Laughteryoga  session is a gym of the soul!”  The activity is non-political, non religious, non-racial, non-threatening and non-competitive.
