What is Laughter Yoga?
Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise routine which combines unconditional laughter with yogic breathing. You do not need jokes, a sense of humor or comedy. It is a group exercise where you laugh with people!
The benefits of Laughter Yoga are many such as feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, improvement in personal and social life and developing the ability to laugh in the face of challenges to name a few.
Science has proved that the body cannot differentiate between simulated and real laughter but the physiological and psychological benefits are the same.Hearty Group laughter has profound short and long term effects on our mind and body:
Anti stress -
Unwinds the negative effects of stress by reducing stress related hormones and peptide levels.
Feel Good Hormones-
It releases endorphins, the feel good hormone. Endorphins create a positive state of mind and boost optimism, self confidence and feelings of self worth.
Immune System- Quickly boosts our immune system with increase in levels of anti viral and anti infection cells and also cells that fight cancer.
Oxygen and Aerobic Exercise- Laughter provides an excellent cardio and mind body workout. The heart rate increases in one minute of hearty laughter can take ten minutes to achieve on exercise machines.
Given all these benefits, lets use Laughter as our best medicine!
