Laughter Yoga

 
Laughter Yoga is a physically oriented technique that uses a blend of playful, empowering and otherwise "tension-releasing" simple laughter exercises. With gentle yoga-breathing and stretching exercises, rhythmic clapping and chanting of “Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha” in unison, a simulated laughter turns into real laughter. Laughter Yoga is done as a way to improve health, increase well-being and promote peace and harmony.
A typical Laughter Yoga session lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. The session may be adapted to suit the needs, abilities and motivations of the group participating.
The Laughter Yoga method is the brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, a family physician from Mumbai, India, who started the first laughter club in 1995.
