What is Laughter Yoga?
It’s a unique concept where anyone can learn to laugh for no reason without relying on humour, jokes, or comedy.
Laughter is initiated in a group with eye contact and childlike playfulness, which soon turns into real and contagious laughter.
Laughter Yoga combines laughter exercises with deep breathing. Bringing more oxygen into the body and brain makes you feel more energetic and healthier.
