For me, I don&#8217;t think of myself as faking laughter, I think of myself as generating laughter as a form of exercise. Your body doesn&#8217;t care whether the laughter is genuine laughter, or you&#8217;re just going through the motions of laughter, you don&#8217;t have to have anything funny happen in order to laugh. Going through the motion of laughing actually creates the emotion of joy. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do you feel like this would be a good thing to help kids start the day?&nbsp;<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Absolutely! I think laughter is beneficial for all kinds of people. They are now incorporating this work into schools. The great thing about laughter yoga is that it&#8217;s quick bursts of laughter, so it can be done when you know there&#8217;s a class change during the school day. In India, where laughter yoga started, they&#8217;re practicing it in schools every morning as part of their assembly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How has laughter yoga improved your health?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>For me, the main benefits that I&#8217;ve mentioned are my capacity to laugh has grown substantially, and things that used to not bring laughter or humor to me now do. I do feel spunkier and more aerobic, it does condition those abdominal muscles for sure. I have seen major benefits in terms of mental health as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Celeste Greene&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/celestegreenelaughs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/celestegreenelaughs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CelesteGreeneLaughs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/celestegreene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\"><p>Enjoy a series of exercises designed to get you moving, breathing, and laughing. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":15055,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[127],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
