What is Laughter Yoga?
Laughter yoga (Hasya yoga) is a laughter exercise program that emphasizes three elements: laughter & playfulness, yogic breathing exercises, and mindfulness meditation.

At the core of Laughter Yoga is the premise that everyone can and knows how to laugh, regardless of what their mind may say. Participants do not need to have a finely tuned sense of humour, know jokes, or even be happy – laughter yoga invites you to ‘laugh for no reason’, faking it until laughter becomes real, unforced and flowing.

Laughter yoga is an easy way to strengthen all immune functions, bring more oxygen to the body and brain, foster positive feelings, and improve interpersonal skills.
