PUTTING THE FUN INTO LIFE

Laughter is the best medicine – using simulated laughter exercises soon get you laughing your socks off! And deep breathing brings peace and joy.  How many people have enough laughter in their lives? Laughter yoga can help put it in.
Suitable for everyone of any age.    

Very useful for team building events, schools, beginning /ending of corporate events.

I shared Laughteryoga with several thousand people when I was interviewed on BBC Radio Solent and we giggled along to put smiles on our faces and a willingness to laugh for no reason.

A local primary school in Bournemouth had a Laughteryoga day for Years 3-6 in the Summer Term of 2007 where each class enjoyed laughing and then the upper and the lower school shared laughs together.  An hilarious, fun filled  hoot of a day of creativity shared with  staff and pupils.

Excellent  also to use before exams, competitions, dramas etc – it keeps you in the present moment and is a great stress buster.

Its such a fun, child like thing to do and what cheap health care it really is.

These simulated laughter exercises have incredible health benefits:
combats stress, increases endorphins- the happy hormones, lowers cortisol and other stress hormones, increases white blood count, raises antibody levels so colds are decreased.
Aids circulation, gives the body an internal aerobic workout etc etc
It is thought that 75% of illnesses are stress related - so if this can help - why aren't we doing more of it!!!!!!!!

What is Laughteryoga?

Dr. Kataria started 'laughteryoga' in Mumbia, India in 1995 with a handful of people. It has now spread to over 5 continents, over 50 countries, over 5000 clubs with over 1 million members. Laughing 'for no reason' brings all cultures and languages together - actions speak louder than words! Laughter also keeps us in the present moment where there is no fear, just joy.

How to participate:
1. have eye to eye contact
2. willingness to participate
3. and we have this lovely saying ' fake it, fake it, till you make it' - meaning that the body knows no difference between real laughter and fake. I can assure you that it doesn't take long for giggles to be infectious if you're not belly laughing already.
