Everything you want to know about Laughter Yoga — before your first class.

Laughter Yoga combines the art of laughter with the science of breathing — laughter-inducing exercises together with deep yogic breathing, light stretching and aerobic movement. The method was created in India in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria, and today it is practised in more than 100 countries.

Definitely! Laughter Yoga is not based on humour, jokes or comedy. Laughter is triggered through exercises, and group dynamics make it contagious and genuine. All you need is the willingness to take part.

Laughter increases oxygen intake, improves circulation and immunity, promotes the release of endorphins, brings relaxation and reduces stress. 10 minutes of laughter is comparable to 20 minutes of intensive running — around 400 muscles are engaged!
