The secret of laughter yoga is that our bodies are hardwired with some surprisingly powerful natural reactions to extended hearty laughter. It truly is the best medicine and an antidote for stress and anxiety. These benefits include:
- Blood & all major organs are fully oxygenated leaving us bursting with energy
- Blood pressure drops, circulation improves and pulse rate drops
- Depression is lifted, even chronic depression is often cured
- High endorphin levels put us in a great mood and reduce any aches & pains
- Immune, digestive & sexual systems that are switched off by stress are switched on
- Self confidence is boosted, communication skills and creativity are boosted
- Our lymphatic system is massaged and our immune systems boosted
- Stress levels reduce by 75% or more and we become more stress resistant
- After just one laughter yoga session many people feel the difference. After some Laughter Yoga meditation sessions people describe surging feelings of joy and happiness.
With regular sessions people's entire mental and physical state changes for the better. Laughter accelerates healing and many small health problems disappear. The frequency of colds & flu's reduces. You feel happy, healthy and well.
No other fitness training regime or style of yoga has these benefits. And it doesn't even feel like exercise - hahaha!
A recent study at Stanford University concludes that laughter stimulates the parts of our brain that use the "feel good" chemical messenger dopamine. This puts laughter into the "necessary" category of activities that are pleasurably addictive, and more so in the myriads of health benefits that accrue.
