Laughter Yoga: A Different Form of Exercise

Fun Exercise

Most business people are busy and have little time to exercise. Moreover, exercise programs are strenuous and can get boring.  Laughter Yoga is fun and easy – no postures or skills to learn, no special Yoga clothes or equipment required.  Since it is done in a group, it is easy to learn.  Anyone can do it and become an "expert" right from the first session.

Powerful Cardio workout

Laughter Yoga provides a fast and powerful cardiovascular workout.  According to Dr. William Fry, 10 minutes of hearty laughter is equal to 30 minutes on the rowing machine.

Reduced Stress Levels Quickly

In 2006, a research study among IT professionals in Bangalore India showed that practicing Laughter Yoga exercises decreases stress hormones in saliva, while blood pressure and pulse rate drop and circulation improves.

Improves Oxygen Supply

Laughter Yoga Exercises flush stale air from the lungs and oxygenate all organs, making us healthier and more energetic.

Changes Mood

Laughter Yoga can change your mood within minutes by releasing endorphins that act as mood enhancers and natural painkillers.  Laughter Yoga is a great depression buster and may even cure chronic depression.

Improves Efficiency and Peak Performance

A Laughter Yoga study has shown that laughter significantly improves work effectiveness and staff functionality.  Another study conducted in the US also corroborates the efficacy of laughter.  Both studies used "unconditional laughter" generated by Dr. Kataria’s techniques in group laughter sessions.
