Past: Laughter Yoga

Riverside Regional Library

All Ages Welcome

Free

The yoga is performed without any humorous reason to laugh, with one practitioner observing that "The mind does not know that we’re faking it."

Laughter yoga sessions may start with gentle warm-up techniques which include stretching, chanting, clapping, eye contact and body movement, to help break down inhibitions and encourage a sense of playfulness. Breathing exercises are used to prepare the lungs for laughter, followed by a series of ‘laughter exercises’ that combine the method of acting and visualization techniques with playfulness. Laughter exercises are interspersed with breathing exercises. Twenty minutes of laughter is sufficient to develop fully physiological benefits.
