Laughing Yoga

 

My husband and I recently attended a Laughing Yoga Workshop.

The question: “What is Laughing Yoga?” was still in our minds as we walked into the room.
It turns out that ‘laughing’, itself, can be classified as ‘cardio exercise’; as you use your diaphragm and lungs to the fullest when applying a good full-belly laugh. Good to know!

Sitting in a circle of about 16 strangers, it would appear that no one was going to talk, let alone laugh out loud! Our leader, a 74 yr old fellow, was so animated that we couldn’t help but be drawn into the exercises. He informed us that even ‘faking a smile’ can provoke a smile from someone else, and also improve our mood.

Then he had us try to suppress a (fake) laugh. This managed to get everyone laughing as it was a bit ridiculous. Only an hour later, we were engaged in a full-blown belly-laugh; laughing at nothing in particular, which was the whole objective of the night!

HA!  HA HA! HA HA HA! hahahahahahahah…

Whether you need to curb anxiety or lower your blood pressure, here are a few things you can try at home:

  • · Start by pasting on a smile when working on your computer.
    · Chuckle to yourself when you stop at the red lights. Why? No reason.
    · Whenever your day starts to get a little pressured, look around and find
    irony in the situation, weird circumstances or even idiocy.
    · When someone asks you why you are so happy today, smile back.
    You don’t have to explain a thing.

Start each day with a smile! It is good for you.
