NEW YORK, April 26!

Grabbagiraffe laughter club NYC, Better Health Chiropractic, and Yoga Laff present New York City’s celebration of World Laughter Day which will take place on Sunday, May 6th from 1:00pm until 3:00pm at the Riverside Park ‘s North Lawn at 79th Street.

World Laughter Day is celebrated all over the world on the first Sunday in May. Our mission is world peace through laughter. This is not a political event. Our event is celebratory and playful. We expect to unite people through the power of laughter. And NEW YORKERS NEED TO LAUGH AGAIN!!!

World Laughter Day is born in the tradition of other grass-roots events, such as Earth Day and World Aids Day. This year, May 6th, World Laughter Day, will be marked as a big event in NYC, 2007 and future years to come. The laughter yoga movement was founded in the mid 1990’s by Bombay based Dr. Madan Kataria. To date, there are over three thousand laughter clubs in the world. Innovative laughter yoga exercises are based on yogic principles and are performed while standing up. These fun exercises have many health benefits and include laughter with movement and some stretching.
