What is Laughter Yoga?
Laughter Yoga is a group session of aerobic activity which turns fake laughter into real laughter. It consists of hand-clapping rhythms, breathing exercises from Yoga, and playful laughter exercises. The brain cannot differentiate between fake laughter and genuine laughter, and provides the benefits of laughter anyway. In a group, laughter becomes contagious and the participants gain the benefits, which are well researched.
Benefits of Laughter:
-Reduces stress and tension
-Provides aerobic exercise and increases oxygen supply to the brain
-Releases endorphins which help us feel good
-Burns calories and stabilises blood sugar
-Strengthens the immune system
-Lowers blood pressure and produces a feeling of relaxation and wellbeing
-Enhances relationships, wellbeing and productivity in the workplace
Laughter contributes to our resilience – the ability to bounce back from daily stress
“Laughter is one of the most cost-effective remedies for stress reduction, boosting the immune system and contributing to health and wellbeing.”
