Laughter for no reason is one of the best ways to relieve stress. Laughter Yoga combines unconditional laughter with yogic breathing (Pranayama). Anyone can laugh for no reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy.
Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group but with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. Laughter yoga is a unique exercise regime fast sweeping the world. It combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing which brings more oxygen to the body and the brain making one feel more energetic and healthy. Safe, easy and scientifically proven, Laughter Yoga is a lot of fun.
People do Laughter Yoga because it feels so good – you can feel a difference after your first laughter yoga session. It is a healing force and the biggest changes occur in areas where an individual requires healing the most. Personal benefits may only become obvious as one becomes aware of them over time.
Laughter yoga provides an excellent aerobic workout and is the only exercise that impacts positively and directly on your body, mind and emotions. Ten minutes of hearty laughter causes our body to release a cocktail of hormones and neuropeptides that could cost thousands of dollars over the counter. This 'joy cocktail' has profound influence and results in several preventive and therapeutic benefits.
A little tense with the holidays approaching. Come laugh off the stress of all the organizing to get together with family and friends and baking that bird and fixing those cranberries.
