Two Paths- One Purpose

Laughter  + Yoga = Joy

Laughter Yoga (Hasya Yoga) is fun, playful,  tension-releasing simple laughter exercise routines that's good for everyone. It's gentle yoga-breathing, stretching exercises, rhythmic-clapping and chanting in unison: Ho, Ho, Ha,Ha,Ha; this simulated form of laughter soon turns to real laughter. It strengthens the immune system, reverses the negative effects of stress, and makes you feel good immediately.

Laughter Yoga increases health and well-being and promotes world peace through personal transformation. Laughter Yoga is non-racial, non-political, non-religious, and non-threatening. No previous experience is necessary. You don't have to be happy or have a sense of humor as Laughter Yoga is not based on comedy or telling jokes.

Dr. Madan Kataria, a family physician from Mumbai, India started the first Laughter Yoga Club with five people in 1995. Today there are more than 6,000 Laughter Yoga Clubs in  60 countries.
