The unique concept of Laughter Yoga and Laughter Club is the
brain child of Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician from Mumbai, India.
Any one can laugh in a group for 15-20 minutes without depending
upon great sense of humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter Yoga combines
simple laughter exercises (simulated laughter) and gentle yoga
breathing, which turns into real laughter when practiced in a
group.
Laughter Yoga is supported by powerful tools derived from the
Western psycho analytical methods as well as Eastern spiritual
laws. It will help you to stay in high spirits when life throws
up challenges. It will enhance your ability to laugh and smile
when dealing with negative emotions, situations and negative or
difficult people.
These powerful tools include: how does the human mind work?
What is the meaning and purpose of life? Understanding laws of
the universe which govern our life? Understanding negative emotions
like anger, fear, anxiety, greed, guilt, sadness, lust and attachments.
and cultivating positive attitudes like appreciation, forgiveness,
service and devotion.
To promote laughter club around the world we are organizing
Laughter workshops, laughter seminars, laughter yoga leader training,
laughter yoga teacher's training, laughter yoga spiritual retreat
and laughter yoga holidays.
At present there are more than 5000 laughter clubs world wide
and Laughter Clubs have been covered by prestigious television
