• Good Mood and Increased Endorphins ~ More laughter in your life leads to a better mood, and when your mood improves everything you do will be positively impacted (personal, professional and social). Laughter Yoga can change your mood within minutes through the release of chemicals in your brain called endorphins, and the increase of endorphins in your body remains throughout the day.
• Stress Relief ~ Laughter Yoga increases the available oxygen in your body and brain, because it is like an aerobic exercise (cardio workout), which results in improved health and energy. Laughter Yoga is a “no sweat” exercise routine which decreases physical, mental, and emotional stress simultaneously.
• Improved Health ~ It's difficult to enjoy life if you’re not well. Laughter Yoga strengthens your immune system, and this prevents you from getting sick and helps you to heal a variety of illnesses like hypertension, heart disease, depression, diabetes, arthritis, allergies, asthma, bronchitis, backache, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, and menstrual disorders, and many others. Cancer patients also report symptom relief and reduced side effects as a result of participating in Laughter Yoga.
• Quality of Life ~ Quality of life depends upon the quality of good friends we have, with whom we have a caring and sharing relationship. Laughter is a positive energy that connects you to people quickly and improves relationships. As you practice Laughter Yoga, you become a joy magnet, and the positive relationships in your life increase.
• Attitude ~ When life is challenging it may be hard to laugh in everyday situations. Laughter helps to create a positive mental state, irrespective of particular circumstances. Hope and optimism are natural by products of the change in perspective to which Laughter Yoga naturally introduces you, which can help you cope with difficult times.
