This free, easy and almost universally accessible program is good for your whole body and for your mental and emotional health. All ages welcome - no experience, abilities or equipment needed. Laughter yoga is a practice from Dr. Madan Kataria, invented this in 1995 based on his medical research about the numerous proven benefits of laughter.

His biggest finding was that your body cannot tell the difference between real and fake laughter - so it doesn't need to be based on humor. You can get all the benefits just by faking it and doing laughter as exercise, for the health of it! One minute of belly laughter is worth three minutes on a rowing machine, so even our 45 minute sessions are an amazing bout of exercise. The laughter is contagious and you leave feeling both relaxed and energized. Find the scientifically proven benefits info and clubs all over the world at www.LaughterYoga.org
