Laughter yoga (Hasyayoga) is a modern exercise involving prolonged voluntary laughter. This type of yoga is based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides similar physiological and psychological benefits as spontaneous laughter. Laughter Yoga is based on cultivating your childlike playfulness. We all have a child inside us wanting to laugh, wanting to play.
Breathing exercises will be used to prepare the respiratory system for laughing before the laughter exercises are performed. These may include visualization techniques or acting.
Often, voluntary laughter leads to natural or contagious laughter. It is said that 20 minutes of laughter is enough to feel the full benefits of the practice.
Laughter yoga is good for anyone who wants to bring more joy, playfulness and sociability into their life. It also can help the body and mind feel more energized and healthy and some studies suggest, that laughter lowers stress hormone levels and may improve tolerance of pain.
You will learn a handful of Laughter Yoga Exercises and 3 major breathing techniques.
