LAUGHTER YOGA- A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE AND A POWERFUL WELLNESS TOOL
WHAT IS LAUGHTER YOGA?
Laughter Yoga is a deceptively simple, yet very powerful and potentially life-changing, form of
exercise that anybody can do - anytime, anywhere. Its core premise is that your body can and knows
how to laugh, regardless of what your mind has to say ; Laughter Yoga is a body- mind approach to
laughter. You do not need to have a sense of humor., know jokes, or even be happy. Laughter Yoga
invites you to simulate the laughter until it becomes real.
