Laughter Yoga (LY) is the concept where anyone can laugh for no reason without relying on humor, jokes or comedy.
We initiate laughter as an exercise in a group with eye contact & childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real & contagious laughter.
LY combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing bringing more oxygen to the body & the brain making one feel more energetic & healthier.
The concept of LY is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake & real laughter if done with willingness. One gets the same health benefits, whether laughter is real or simulated.
3 reasons why to participate in LY for maximum health benefits:
1. To get scientifically proven health benefits of laughter, we need to laugh continuously for at least for 10 - 15 minutes. In LY, we can prolong our laughter as long as we want bringing measurable physiological changes like oxygen levels in the blood, muscle relaxation, blood circulation & release of certain hormones in the body.
2. To reap the health benefits of laughter, it has to be loud & deep, coming from the diaphragm-a belly laugh. It might not be socially acceptable to laugh loudly, but a LY class provides a safe environment where one can laugh loudly & heartily without any social implication.
3. Natural laughter in general depends upon many reasons & conditions, but there are not many reasons which make us laugh. In LY we do not leave laughter to chance but do it intentionally.
