You get maximum health results in the minimum time. You nurture your own wellbeing. Laughter Yoga combines laughter with simple movements, fun breathing exercises and games to get real health benefits. There are  no pre-requisites, and no expectations, other than raising your laughter level.

There are no 'yoga' positions, just lots of loud laughter.  Everybody can learn to laugh longer and louder than we normally do. It's about taking responsibility for your own  health, and because it's fun you have a better chance of doing this. You enjoy achieving results.
10 minutes of Laughter Yoga is equivalent to 30 mins on an exercise machine!
Yes, this is fairly intense aerobics! The key is to increase oxygen intake, and to do this we breathe out more. We only use a small fraction - less than 20% of our lung capacity 'normally' - so the key is to exhale more. 
We have no muscles to do this, but through laughter your diaphragm pushes out the stale air. 
Most people avoid 'exercise'. That's where Laughter Yoga provides the workout, disguised as playful fun. 
Regularity is vital, so this way you get your daily dose.

What happens in a Laughter Yoga Session?

In a Laughter Session we use the physical action of Laughter for 3 reasons:

Ø To gain the real health benefits for wellbeing
Ø To cultivate connections and nurture joy with other people
Ø Inner personal peace, for community peace and world peace
Yoga-based intentional laughter stimulates you to the real thing.

Anyone can learn to laugh for 10 - 15 minutes a day without resorting to jokes.
Laughter is infectious, and it spreads when you laugh in a group. So what we do is nothing new.
We are accustomed to expect a reason to laugh: a joke, a funny situation, or a friend to giggle with. 
So laughing for no other reason than the health benefits can seem strange at first. 
What happens is, created laughter soon generates the familiar kind, and our innate playfulness kicks in.
Human beings are programmed to play, it's in our genes. It's how we learn best, in fact the only way we learn. 
With laughter Yoga you develop your confidence and core control, since the ability  to laugh at yourself is the greatest single step that you can take towards self-awareness.
When was the last time you had a really good, long belly laugh?
And how did you feel? This is no joke! That feeling lasts all day!
Did you know that adults laugh on average 15 times, children 400 to 600 times a day? 
60 years ago people laughed 3 to 4 times as much as we do today!
