Philadelphia Area LAUGHTER YOGA Club (Delaware County, PA)

We are Laughter Yoga USA, a non profit organization eager to share more laughter for health , a.k.a. Laughter Yoga, in all communities.

Laughter Yoga is a global laughter exercise program which was created in India in 1995 (that's 31 years ago!) by physician Dr. Madan Kataria. He started his first laughter club at a local Mumbai with the assistance of his wife Madhuri and three of their friends. Initially they told jokes get people to laugh but when the jokes ran out, the doctor came up with simple "laughter exercises" which were based on everyday situations.

Research suggested that laughter, whether real or intentional - as long as you breath deeply from the diaphram, your body cannot tell the difference between genuine or fabricated laughter. With prolonged laughter the brain receives a boost of happy hormones (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins all increase), while stress hormones (cortisol) levels are significantly reduced.
Laughter is a great people connector and way to add more joy and levity to your life. Got stress? Feel it melt away during one of our laughter sessions!

Laughter Yoga is being practiced around the world, more than 120 countries- at schools, in hospitals, with businesses, with all types of groups in recovery, at community centers, festivals, in senior communities and beyond.

Come try what it can do for you. No experience necessary. Only the willingness to laugh. Pack a water bottle to keep hydrated. Bring a grumpy friend!
These sessions are complimentary!
