Laughter Yoga

I am always on the lookout for new modalities of bringing fun and relaxation into my life.  Recently I had the opportunity to try out Laughter Yoga.  I was intrigued.  The class starts with some light stretching, then goes into the so-called “fake” laughter.  Prompted by the teacher we begin laughing for no apparent reason. The more you look at the other participants and see them laugh, the more you feel “real” laughter coming out.  There is clapping laughter, cell-phone laughter, bow and arrow laughter, party laughter. When the class was done, I felt happy and relaxed “for no reason”.  Check out laughteryoga.org for laughter clubs in your area.
