Laughter Yoga is a simple practice that involves pretending or genuinely laughing for 60 seconds at a time.
It has numerous benefits, including increased energy, stress release, and enhanced joy.
The session begins with a warm-up exercise called "Hello," where participants greet each other with laughter.
Subsequent exercises include "Milkshake," where participants pretend to pour and drink a milkshake, and "Moisturizing Laughing Cream," where they apply imaginary laughing cream on themselves or others.
The session progresses to the "Argumentative Laughter" exercise, where participants point fingers and laugh at each other, followed by "Laugh at Your Own Self," where they turn the laughter inward.
The session concludes with a guided meditation, where participants close their eyes and laugh uncontrollably for two minutes, followed by deep breathing and relaxation.
Laughter Yoga is believed to have therapeutic effects and can benefit individuals, families, friends, colleagues, society, and the world at large.
