Laughter Yoga

Laughter yoga is a unique type of yoga that's not triggered by humor, but combines yoga breathing techniques and laughter simulation with stretching, chanting and role playing. It's being taught in the Philippines to senior citizens, professionals, and even prisoners. Gary Hamilton reports.

Looks painful. Reminds me of when people fake-laugh,laughing only w/their mouths,but not their eyes. If the goal is to ^ ur heart rate,O2,circulatn,work muscles etc, 'Cry Yoga' would be just as effective. Why make something that comes so easily & naturally to us into some 'technique? 'Whatever benefits of laughter dont come from just laughter itself,but rather from the State of Mind u're in that Causes u to laugh,unselfconsciously. Train urself 2 have a + attitude,then u'll laugh,not backwards.

Never done laughter yoga, I guess I should try it. Just done regular yoga (Hatha Yoga or Flow Yoga).
