WHAT
Laughter Yoga is a simple yet profound technique based on the philosophy of "acting happiness." It is physically-oriented and does not rely on the mind at all. As a result you don’t need to be happy, have a sense of humor, or even have a reason to laugh. Laughter is a tremendously efficient way to release tension in a positive way, and is proven to relieve stress and much more. Laughter Clubs are non-political, non-religious, non-exploitative, non-competitive, non- perfectionistic, non-threatening- everybody is welcome, and it’s FREE!!!!! Check out our calendar for local laughter club meeting times and locations.
HOW
Laughter Yoga follows a series of simple, yet structured laughter and Yoga-based breathing techniques. We gently stimulate the diaphragm until natural spontaneous laughter comes effortlessly. Laughter exercises are varied and hilarious, without jokes or comedy. Laughter meditation followed by deep relaxation energizes and relaxes the body, leaving you refreshed and renewed. Laughter is the best medicine, and numerous studies show that it reduces the negative effects of stress, boosts the immune system, stimulates oxygenation of the body and the release of "feel good" chemicals like the endorphins and seratonin.
WHERE
Laughter Yoga is a worldwide grass-roots movement for peace counting over 5000 laughter clubs to date, with more than 250,000 known members on 5 continents. It is highly contagious and spreading good will and joy one laugh at a time!
