Take an Active Approach to Laughter


Most people laugh in a passive way, when some stimulus in their environment spontaneously catches their funny bones and produces a laugh. It’s hit or miss. Sporadic. It happens when it happens. Most people rarely take an active approach to laughter. Yet that is what Laughter Yoga is all about. We choose to attend a laughter session. We choose to laugh. We self-generate our own laughter. And in the process we add more and more laughter to our lives.

Dr. Kitaria created laughter yoga understanding the tremendous physical and emotional benefits of laughter, yet knowing that most people don’t get nearly enough of it in their lives. He set out to create a method where people could simply laugh more.

How often do we wish we had more laughter in our lives? How often do we wish we had one of those friends nearby with whom we laugh loud and often? Usually people just don’t know how to add more laughter to their lives. But now there’s laughter yoga. Give it a try. Take control of your laughter life. Don’t leave laughter to chance!
