I have been to laughter yoga seesions, any thing in particular you would like to know??
The laughter yoga group I participate in is a very small group, about 8 to 10 people. The instructor leads you through a beginning deep breathing exercise and then you are on your way to participating in small exercises where you (at the same time as the rest of the group) pretend you are in an everyday circumstance, such as making yourself an ice cream soda and piling on the goodies as you laugh heartily with everyone. The first session can be a little weird because all these people are laughing about nothing…but you know how laughter is contagious…it happens in class. Some of the participants are so good at this it’s amazing. Laughter yoga is not strenuous and it is also a wonderful vocal exercise. Once when I was kind of nervous about giving a speech I decided to laugh in my car all the way to the event…and it was the best vocal exercise I have ever done. Anyway, I recommend you give it a try.
Laughter is truly the Best Medicine” I didn’t realize just how potent this “medicine” was when my cousin Nancy and I signed up for our first class. Now we are having so much fun with it and I just had to do some research.
If you are feeling stressed out, laughter is the best de-stressor. Laughter produces endorphins, the “feel good” hormones, balances blood pressure, increases lung capacity, improves immune function and much more. What a great massage for your internal organs and the price is right. Oh, by the way…fake laughter is physiologically just as good as real laughter.
I read that one minute of anger depresses your immune system for six hours. Remember that the next time you get angry. Smile, then laugh yourself silly?
I love the laughter Yoga classes but you can just by stand in front of the mirror each morning, make silly faces and laugh.
If you have the time you might want to check out this website below www.laughter yoga.org
