Laughter Yoga™ has many benefits for your mental and physical wellbeing. During laughter, we release endorphins which are the feel-good hormone that uplift our moods and help to combat stress. This release of hormones also boosts our immune systems. Laughter Yoga is based on the scientific evidence that our brains cannot distinguish between real and pretend laughter - so even if you don't feel like laughing, you can still reap many benefits from this session! 

Laughter Yoga™ is not a substitute for proper medical consultation for physical, mental and psychological illnesses and may not be suitable for everyone.

Laughter Yoga may not be suitable for everyone.  Laughing involves some physical strain and a rise in intra-abdominal pressure.  It is contra-indicated for people suffering from (please identify medical issue in 'Comments' box): 

This list is for guidance only and is not meant to be exhaustive. If in doubt do not try it and consult your trained medical professional for guidance. Anyone already undergoing physician-prescribed therapy should seek the advice of his or her doctor before reducing the dosage or stopping such treatment. Anyone experiencing discomfort while laughing, must discontinue immediately and seek expert medical help. Please use your common sense: no strain, no new pain.
