Laughter is very effective at releasing tension in a positive way and has been proven to reduce stress and much more.
Laughter Yoga follows a series of simple structured exercises using yoga type breathing. The most important requirement is a sense of playfulness when we laugh together until natural laughter occurs without effort. You do not need to be happy, have a sense of humor, or even a reason to laugh.
No special clothing or gear are required, only a willing spirit and your vocal cords!
