Laughter yoga: laughing away the stress


Laughter Yoga

Have you heard of it?

Yes it works!

Roots to Breath, Dona Anderson

Real laughs and fake laughter work the same for the health of our bodies!
See more benefits in the link I included below

Laughter Yoga - There are classes around the world and some are even set up for specific practitioner needs.

I did a workshop a few years ago at a weekend retreat.  There was about 30 of us in the class and first it did seem hard to get started. Watch the video and then I'll tell you more below.




What do you think?  Is it something you could try?

In the class I did we started out doing the fake stuff and were given things for us to do or say to laugh at.

Later on the laughs started to come on their own and we all kept feeding off each other.  We ended the class all lying on the floor in a big circle that just laughed.  Someone would start it and then we'd all go off and then quiet down and then it would start again. The guy beside me had a cute giggle that set me off many times.

It was a great workout. I was exhausted and sweating at the end!  For the rest of the weekend if anyone of us heard any laughter from somewhere we and would automatically start to laugh as well for no reason.

Have to tell you, those that didn't attend the class wished they had!

See if there is a class where you live or try to make up things on your own.  Make this your special time to release stress and as they say, Fake it till you Make it.

Invest in yourself!

When was the last time you had a really good laugh?  I hope it was today.
