About Laughter Yoga: Laughter yoga is a relatively new concept in body-mind exercise. It combines simulated laughter exercises with gentle breathing techniques to teach the body how to laugh without relying on comedy, jokes or humor. Started in 1995 by a medical doctor in India, it's based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides the same benefits as spontaneous laughter. Traditionally done in groups (also called laughter clubs), it’s a positive way to help participants lead a more joyful and stress-free life. It's open to all ages and abilities and no prior yoga experience, special clothing or equipment is necessary.
