LAUGHTER YOGA
Laughter Yoga is a new idea where we do laughter as a form of exercise in a group without using jokes, humor, or comedy. You don’t have to depend on your sense of humor. We “simulate to stimulate”. In time “fake” laughter becomes genuine and flows out like a fountain. Laughter is very contagious.

We do not use traditional yoga poses. We combine laughter exercises with yoga breathing and this is the reason why we call it Laughter Yoga.

Its deepest impact is that it tremendously develops your ability to connect with yourself and others. Laughter has no language, knows no boundaries and does not discriminate; it breaks down gender and socioeconomic barriers. That is what we call the Inner Spirit of Laughter.

The medical benefits of laughter: it releases hormones that create a sense of well being, and decreasese stress hormones. It stimulates deep breathing: it also improves circulation of both the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. Laughter also triggers a relaxation response that can last up to 45 minutes and can reduce your pain response.
