About Laughter Yoga
Happiness on demand!
Why laughter?
Scientific research shows that laughter:
- increases the endorphin and serotonin levels
- lower down our cortisol (stress hormone) level.
This feel-good chemistry takes some minutes to kick in.
Laughter by choice
Since Laughter is so good for our emotional well-being, we shouldn't leave it to randomness.
We can decide to laugh on purpose and Laughter Yoga offers a solution, that does not rely on sense of humor or jokes.
Laughter Yoga
In Laughter Yoga, we do laughter-stimulating exercises.
Laughter is at first stimulated, but by seeing and hearing each other laughing, laughter becomes more and more real.
Our chemistry starts to change and we feel happier.
