Laughter Yoga reduces stress levels and helps in muscle relaxation, easing several types of aches and pains. Laughteryoga undoubtedly is the most inexpensive pain killer in the market.
Yoga, once practiced only in India and other eastern nations, is rapidly becoming popular in the United States. Of course, there are a number of detractors who refuse to believe in its curative powers, but they are far outnumbered by millions of others who have benefited from the practice of yoga and have made it the center of their physical and spiritual well being. There are a number of Yoga centers offering coaching in different yoga forms. Most of them offer classes for general health and well being of their patrons and there are some that offer classes to treat particular health issues. There are different yoga forms like Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Power Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, and several others. But all yoga forms without exception improve the general heath of the practitioner.

Yogic forms lubricate the joints and tendons and ligaments and increase the flexibility of the body. Yoga is perhaps the only exercise technique that massages the body’s internal organs including those that hardly ever get any stimulation. This stimulation spurs the body’s immune system and strengthens it against diseases. One of the benefits of yoga is that it endows the practitioner with an uncanny sense of awareness that warns him/her against an impending health disorder. Yoga, by completely detoxifying the body, delays aging, increases energy, and bequeaths the person with a remarkable zest for life.

One of the easiest and most effective forms of yoga is Hasya yoga or laughter yoga. It’s said that laughter is the best medicine and is considered to be nature’s way of realizing pent up energy. A hearty laughter releases in the body a cocktail of hormones and chemicals. These hormones reduce negative emotions of stress and tension, lower high blood pressure, and boost the immune system. Laughter is the gentlest form of exercise. But when you practice laughter Yoga you will find every inch of your body vibrating with your laughter. One of the immediate benefits of laughter yoga is a clear breathing, which is especially beneficial for those suffering from asthma and other respiratory complications.

In Yogalaff (www.yogalaff.com), you will be taught laughteryoga by Dr Kataria. Dr. Kataria has helped countless people all over the world gain immensely from laughter yoga. Anyone can practice this yogic form irrespective of age and medical condition. But it’s always best to practice it in a laughter class with other people. When practiced in a group, laughter becomes infectious and the exercise almost always leads to real laughter.
