Laughter Yoga is* a unique practice that combines group laughter exercises with yoga breathing techniques, which allows anyone to laugh without jokes or humor. Laughter yoga as a practice enables us to get in touch with our spiritual nature, cultivate a positive mental attitude and helps to develop emotional balance....and...it is so much fun!

Why laughter yoga?
Laughter helps unwind the negative effects of stress, strengthens your immune system, relaxes endorphins, controls blood pressure and acts as a powerful antidote for depression.
What if I can't laugh?
Even if you fake your laughter your body still receives great benefits!
Are the classes led as a group?
Yes and many exercises can be done on your own as part of your daily wellness routine.
Does it matter how I'm feeling?
Nope, no matter what your perception of life is at this time, you are welcome. You are invited to discover a new way to cope with life by learning to laugh at both the best of times and when life offers a challenge.
Why do you lead classes in groups?
I see so much benefit in group play. It builds community, trust and a sense of wholeness not just as a team but for the individuals. It lends a feeling of "I matter." "What I have to offer others is of value." ....and that, is invaluable! Plus, being in the midst of a room of people laughing...just feels good!
OK, I'm in, what logistics do I need to know about the class?
* It lasts one hour (give or take a little)
* All mobility levels are welcome
* Yoga experience is not necessary
* Dress comfortably
* Bring water (optional)
* Bring whatever props you need to sit & lie comfortably on the floor

Interview by Salt Lake Tribune's Rick Eagan...
* Laughter Yoga is non-religious, non-sectarian, and non-political. The Laughter Yoga method is the brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, a family physician from Mumbai, India who started the first laughter club in 1995 with 5 people. Laughter Yoga is now practiced in over 60 countries!
