It has been said that laughter is the best medicine!

Sounds fun, right?  What IS laughter yoga?

From David Russell:

“Compassionate Laughter, based on Hasya (laughter) Yoga, offers a blend of enjoyable, tension-releasing, self-triggered laughter integrated with low-impact stretching and deep breathing to produce a calm state of relaxation.  No jokes, (therefore no offensive material) puns or put-downs.  Traditional yoga postures or calisthenics are used in the commission of this form of health-promoting exercise.  You don’t even need to be in a good mood, just be willing to laugh and share in some good old-fashioned merriment in a joke free zone. ”
