Laughter Yoga
Laughter is the best medicine. A few minutes of laughter a day is a natural remedy for stress, anxiety and other emotions as such.
However, how can we laugh if/when we feel like we have no reason to? Well…Here’s where laughter yoga may be of help.
Acccording to Yogapedia, “laughter yoga is a type of yoga that involves laughing voluntarily for a prolonged period of time. The laughter does not have to be for any humorous reason, as long as the yogi performs the actions of laughing.
Those who think Laughter yoga is a beneficial physical practice, believe that the human physiological system cannot distinguish between spontaneous and voluntary laughter and, as such, Laughter Yoga brings about all the physical and mental benefits of ‘real’ laughter.”
All in all, it sounds like a wonderful way to elevate your mood and playfulness, all from the comfort of your home.
We’ve selcted a Youtube video with Laughter Yoga exercises that you can try out. In all honesty, watching the video alone is guaranteed to make you laugh.
Happy Reflective Saturday!
