Laughter Yoga combines interactive laughter exercises with deep centering breaths and calming movements. It is based on scientific studies that show that the body can not tell the difference between "real" laughter or simulated laughter, you get the same health benefits to your body and mind. Laughter Yoga is simply bringing people together with belly laughs, belly breaths and light playful movement. It can be performed gently (in a chair if needed) or standing and moving throughout the room with full energy and enthusiasm!
How does it work? Laughter is initiated in a group with full body laughter exercises, clapping, eye contact and youthful playfulness. The "simulated" laughter soon turns into real, spontaneous and contagious laughter that brings more oxygen to our body and brain, lifting our spirits and carrying over into our work, school and everyday lives. iT combines comic mime, inspirational stories, centering tai-chi and energizing laughter yoga.
