The Skinny on Laughter Yoga
It doesn't get any better. No fancy movements. All can practice. Don't need to be happy. No joke. No special equipment or clothing required. Free.Powerful Tune-Up
Laughter Yoga does not depend on the mind, although by practicing it, we can "trick" our minds into helping us feel better.We simulate laughter to stimulate feelings of happiness, well-being, peace, confidence... Even though our brains can't tell the difference between "fake" and "real" laughter, we can! Not to worry - in time, the awkwardness of fake laughter becomes genuine and flows out of us like a fountain. When this happens, we begin to hear and feel our "original laugh". Consquently, we more easily reconnect with the originality of us ~ our true selves ~ and begin to live more authentically. You'll laugh more throughout the day, if nothing else."The laughing really is working for me, and I feel a real connection developing to the work. I found myself laughing today at the simplest and most joyful things. You've opened up an area of my life that I did not know was missing." -- Jon Graznak, Charlottesville Laughter Club Member More transformative effects of Laughter Yoga -->A Practice of Self-Lovingkindness
“Laughter Yoga was a real ice breaker for me. I've learned you can always turn a negative into a positive. No matter what somebody gives you, you can always stay positive and not be derailed or discouraged."--Tempest Beldsoe, VH1 Celebrity Fit Club Participant Laughter Yoga is physically-oriented technique that uses a gentle combination of playful, empowering and otherwise "tension-releasing" simple laughter exercises, sprinkled with reflexology, breathing and stretching exercises, basic unison chanting, and rhythmic clapping. In Laughter Yoga, we use laughter as a tool, not an emotion(although it gets really funny). This is done to improve our health, increase well-being, and promote peace through personal transformation.YogaLaughs classes and celebrations are usually 1.5 hours. Corporate seminars are usually 2 hours.
