Program Description
Laughter Yoga is the only technique that allows adults to achieve sustained hearty laughter without involving cognitive thought. It bypasses the intellectual systems that normally act as a brake on natural laughter. During a Laughter Yoga session, participants would start with gentle warm-up techniques, which include stretching, chanting, clapping, and body movement. These help break down inhibitions and develop feelings of childlike playfulness. Breathing exercises are used to prepare the lungs for laughter, followed by a series of laughter exercises that combine the method of acting and visualization techniques with playfulness. These exercises, when combined with the strong social dynamics of group behavior, lead to prolonged and hearty unconditional laughter.
The Laughter Yoga session may finish with a laughter meditation exercise. This is as session of unstructured laugher whereby participants sit or lie down and allow natural laughter to flow from within us like a fountain.
