Laughter Yoga, beside being fun, has both mental and physical health benefits. It stimulates a mild to moderate cardiovascular workout; it produces endorphins which counteract the production of stress hormones; it appears to optimize the immune system; it reduces self-consciousness and boosts self-confidence; and it relaxes muscles and helps fight chronic pain associated with muscle tensions.

A Laughter Yoga “playshop” includes breathing, stretching, laughtercises, meditation and relaxation. Laughter Yoga does not involve traditional humor or comedy. We laugh out of the blue, just for pleasure, to have fun and feel invigorated!
