Laughter Yoga February 8, 2011

Why not add a little laughter to your workout routine? You might find yourself looking forward to it, rather than dreading it. Laughter Yoga is a combination of simple, tension-releasing exercises combined with gentle yoga breathing techniques which help bring more oxygen to the brain. These are exercises that anybody can do and no special equipment is required.

U.S. News & World Report (Angela Haupt; Sept. 24, 2010) says:

“Laughter yoga blends attempts to provoke laughter via eye contact and childlike playfulness with breathing exercises. ‘The idea is that if you're laughing on the outside—even if, initially, you're faking it—it will create an effect on the inside that brings joy and releases endorphins,’ says Mary-Laurence Bevington, director of Movement Climbing & Fitness in Boulder, Colo... Laughter yoga has been introduced into senior centers, cancer wards, corporations, and prisons.”
