In LaughingRx we mingle between ourselves experiencing laughter as never before. No floor exercises or poses.

In the LaughingRx experience, we laugh on purpose - intentional laughter, for health and well-being benefits. Your body gets the benefits of laughing whether or not you are laughing for real or not. Real laughter occurs as a result of our laughing exercises. It's contagious. There are no jokes involved - just fun.

Tell me about the benefits of laughing and laughing yoga:

Laughing is the Best Medicine Humans were designed to laugh. Laughing is nature's stressbuster. It is our own personal stress release valve we can utilitze whenever we need it!  It lifts our spirits with a happy feeling that makes us feel good and improves our behavior towards others.

Just a few generations ago happy, healthy humans spent 20 minutes a day or more in laughter. Now adult daily laugh time is down to 5 minutes or less in many countries.  This is one of the worst aspects of modern life.

Laugh yourself healthy We all know that laughing makes us feel good. A regular 30 minute laughing session can have a profound impact on our health and overall sense of well-being.  Laughter is gentle exercise. It fill your lungs and body with oxygen, deep-clears your breathing passages and exercises your lungs. This is really important for people who don't get regular aerobic exercise.

When we laugh our bodies release a cocktail of hormones and chemicals that have startling positive effects on our system. Stress is reduced, blood pressure drops, depression is lifted, your immune system is boosted and you feel great.  Western science is just starting to discover the great  and healing effects of laughing.

Why Laughter Yoga? Almost twenty years ago, Dr Madan Kataria, an Indian Medical Doctor and student of Yoga was writing a paper for a medical journal titled 'Laughter is the best medicine'.

Convinced of the medical benefits of laughter and Yogic breathing exercises, Doctor Kataria was searching for a way to bring these benefits to modern man. 

In a flash of inspiration, Laughter Yoga was born.  Since then, countless people all over the world today enjoy the benefits of a daily dose of laughter in laughing sessions with local groups or at their workplace.

Anyone can laugh without reason you don't need jokes or a  sense of humor.
