ABOUT LAUGHTER

Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise routine, which combines unconditional laughter with yogic breathing (PRANAYAMA). Anyone can laugh without relying on humour, jokes or comedy. Laughter is initially simulated as a physical exercise while maintaining eye contact with others in the group and promoting childlike playfulness. In most cases this soon leads to real and contagious laughter. Science has proved that the body cannot differentiate between simulated and real laughter.

Laughter Yoga is the only technique that allows adults to achieve sustained hearty laughter without involving cognitive thought. It bypasses the intellectual systems that normally act as a brake on natural laughter.

Laughter Yoga sessions start with gentle warm-up techniques which include stretching, chanting, clapping and body movement. These help break down inhibitions and developfeelings of childlike playfulness. Breathing exercises are used to prepare the lungs for laughter, followed by a series of ‘laughter exercises’ that combine the method of acting and visualization techniques with playfulness.

In March 1995, Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor in Mumbai, India, decided to write an article called ‘Laughter – The Best Medicine’ for a medical journal. Through his research he discovered a large number of modern scientific studies that described in great length the many proven benefits of laughter on the human mind and body. In particular, Dr. Kataria was impressed by Norman Cousins’ book ‘Anatomy of an Illness’ and the research done by Dr. Lee Berk.
Profoundly inspired and being a man of action rather than an academic, Dr. Kataria immediately decided to field-test the impact of laughter on himself and others.

The results were amazing. The group acted out laughter, but after a moment a few people burst into real laughter in reaction to their group ‘silliness’ — this was contagious and very soon others followed. Soon the group was laughing like never before. The hearty laughter that followed persisted for almost ten minutes.
