Laughter Yoga - Unusual Form of Exercise
It's a known fact that laughter has a positive effect on our body and mind, but sometimes life gets you so down, you can't find one reason to laugh. That's where Laughter Yoga comes into play, because you don't need a reason to laugh.
This unusual form of exercise relies on the premise that your body can and knows how to laugh, regardless of what your mind has to say about it. You don't need to know jokes, be happy, or even have a sense of humor to practice Laughter Yoga. It’s a body-mind approach, not mind-body.
Because laughter has proven a valuable asset in keeping healthy, Laughter Yoga aims to remind people that laughter is a powerful weapon against various diseases. But in order for it to work, practitioners have to laugh wholeheartedly for long periods of time (between 30 and 60 minutes), for no reason at all. You just have to leave all your problems and worries at the door, and laugh like a child with no care in the world.
