Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga is a breakthrough laughter delivery system that changes your body chemistry within minutes resulting in a much better mood and sense of relaxation. If your mood is good, everything feels better and you are functioning at optimum levels.

Laughter Yoga is a unique concept where anyone can laugh without having to rely on jokes or funny situations. Laughter is initiated as an exercise

Anyone can do it; it is scientifically proven; easy to learn, and a lot of fun. People can feel the benefits right from the very first session.

Laughter is the best medicine. It decreases the many negative effects of stress which is the root cause of over 80% of all illnesses. It releases blockages and brings more oxygen to body and brain which makes one feel more energetic and healthy.

In order to get the scientifically proven benefits of laughter, one should laugh for 15 to 20 minutes a day and laughter should be hearty and loud. This is rarely possible as natural laughter is conditional and comes for few seconds here and there which is not enough to result in any health benefits.

The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on the scientifically proven fact that the body cannot distinguish between fake and real laughter. Even if some people might feel a bit awkward in the beginning of the exercise, this feeling soon gives way to a sense of being energized, more joyful and more relaxed.
