Laughter Yoga is a combination of simple, empowering and "tension-releasing"

laughter exercises combined with gentle yoga breathing techniques.

We use laughter (rapid contractions of the diaphragm) as a form of exercise to flush our

lungs (and through it our bloodstream and whole body) with fresh oxygen to strengthen the

immune system and boost "happy" chemistry.

Simply going through the physical motions of happiness creates the very chemistry of happiness.

These exercises are appropriate and beneficial for all, regardless of their cognitive,

sensory or motor abilities / limitations.

We start with artificial forms of laughter and soon reach a crescendo of genuine belly laughter. No

tricks, no tickling, no alcohol and no jokes. The laughter comes straight from the heart as pure

joy.

Laughter Yoga is non-political, non religious, non-racial, non-threatening, and non-

competitive. It comes with no strings attached. Laughter is a universal language that transcends

all barriers: language, age, gender, social or racial background.

The unique concept of Laughter Yoga and Laughter Club is the brain child of Dr. Madan Kataria,

a physician from Mumbai, India, and his wife Madhuri Kataria.
