What Is Laughter Yoga?
The word yoga translates into English as union/connection.
In Laughter Yoga we access the mind/body connection, as in traditional yoga, and we also open up the possibility for union/connection between us as humans.
Laughing together connects us.
Pranayama, (breathing a life force into the body) is a powerful part of traditional yoga.
In Laughter Yoga, we approach this in a slightly less serious way. By simply repeating the action of saying “HA-hahahaha”, we empty our lungs, and take in more fresh air than usual, which benefits our health both mentally and physically.
We play out scenarios and add laughter on top, allowing space to express and release tension.
As a trained laughter yoga leader with 20 years in facilitating workshops and theatrical adventures, I offer this playful class online, so you can take part from your own home.
