MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
Topic:
Laughter Yoga
Monnet Zubieta

BACKGROUND:
Laughter
yoga is a unique form of exercise developed in 1995 by a medical doctor in
India named Dr. Madan Kataria. He was writing an article called "Laughter
is the Best Medicine." His conclusion after doing all the research
is that laughter really is the best medicine. He wanted to prescribe 20
minutes of sustained hearty laughter to all of his patients. While
thinking about how to get his patients to do that he came up with the idea of
laughter clubs. He started the first club at a park in Mumbai India with
his wife and 3 other friends. After a week there were 50 people laughing
together. Now there are over 6,000 laughter clubs in 60 countries all
around the globe.
Thereapeutic Benefits of Laughter * Improves Self Confidence * Helps Fight Disease * Releases Serotonin (natural antidepressant) And Much More!
WORKSHOP:
Laughter Yoga is a unique form of exercise that
requires no jokes and no sense of humor.
You don't have to be in a good mood and you don't have to twist yourself
up like a pretzel to participate!
After a short lecture about
* The unique qualities of laughter yoga
* The benefits of therapeutic laughter
* The contra-indications
Monnet will do a laughter yoga session with
participants, which will include
* Warming up the body
* Developing a childlike attitude
* Laughter meditation
ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
Monnet Zubieta was first exposed to therapeutic laughter 20 years ago. When Dr. Kataria came to California for a Laughter Teacher Training in October 2007, Monnet was there. Since that time Monnet has been speaking about Laughter Yoga, training others to do Laughter Yoga, leading Laughter Clubs, and organizing Laughter Flashes. She is now creating a weekly laughter TV show for a local free access station in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In addition to facilitating Certified Laughter Leader Trainings, Monnet has presented Laughter Yoga to a variety of audiences. She has worked in retreat settings, at conferences, businesses, senior centers and in a variety of health care facilities with chemo patients and AIDS support groups.
