Yoga Instructor
Stressed? In pain? Lonely? In need of more laughter and light in your life? Laughter Yoga can help your body, mind & spirit FEEL GOOD
Founded by Dr Madan Kataria, and beginning with just five people, in a Mumbai Park in 1995, Laughter Yoga is a fun and unique “wellbeing” practice, combining deep yogic breathing (Pranayama), stretching and laughter exercises that cultivate childlike playfulness, resulting in unconditional and spontaneous laughter. There are now thousands of Laughter Clubs in more than 100 countries!
LAUGHTER YOGA – HOHOHO! HAHAHA
What is Laughter Yoga?
Well, L-A-U-G-H-T-E-R speaks for itself:
Laughter releases endorphins (feel good hormones and the body’s natural painkillers) Acts as aerobic exercise, increasing oxygen flow to the brain and the rest of the body, which
increases energy and improves health
Unleashes inhibitions, building confidence and easing anxiety and fear Great team building tool, connecting people at heart level, without judgement Helps to reduce stress and strengthen our immune system Tones the muscles of the abdomen, shoulders and diaphragm Encourages positive thinking and builds resilience Relaxes the whole body
Just 10 to 15 minutes of daily practice will begin to reap the health benefits of laughter! Very good, very good, YAY!!!
What are the benefits of laughter Yoga
