Learn How To Be Unconditionally Happy From The “Guru Of Giggling”, The Founder Of Laughter Yoga
Most of us know have heard that laughter is the best medicine. Watch this fun conversation with the founder of Laughter Yoga, Dr. Madan Kataria who started a worldwide movement. He is a medical doctor from Mumbai known as the ‘Guru of Giggling’ (London Times). Here we explore his story, the benefits of laughter, distinction of joy vs happiness and much more. Plus…there is a lot of laughter along the way, including some laughter exercises you can follow along and practice on your own or with friends and family.
Laughter Yoga was created in the mid-1990s by a Physician from India, Dr. Madan Kataria with the support of his wife Madhuri Kataria – a yoga teacher. It is a unique exercise routine which combines unconditional laughter with yogic breathing (pranayama), and playful exercises and activities. Anyone can laugh without relying on humor, jokes or comedy.
Laughter is initially simulated as a physical exercise while maintaining eye contact with others in the group and promoting playfulness. Laughter yoga has quickly grew as a grassroots social movement of independent laughter clubs, promoting the ideal of a non-political, non-religious, non-racial, non-threatening, and non-competitive voluntary (simulated) approach to laughter. It has spread to over 100 countries.
