Laughter
Yoga Presentation
No
mat required, only a willingness to be playful! We will
explore the benefits of laughter in the workplace and to
health in general, and consider how to create more laughter on
a daily basis. Laughter
Yoga is a great team builder and workplace wellness activity.
Laughter
Yoga is a physically-oriented
technique that uses a perfect blend of playful, empowering and
otherwise "tension-releasing" simple
laughter exercises, interspersed with gentle
breathing and stretching exercises. This is done as a way to improve
health,
increase well-being.
In Laughter Yoga you use laughter as a tool, not an emotion.
Because
it does not rely on the mind at all, Laughter Yoga helps
you to easily distance yourself from your stress, sadness,
worries, self-defined limitations,
etc. As a result you do not need to be happy, have a sense of
humour, or even have a reason in order to laugh. Laughter Yoga
bases itself on the philosophy of “acting happiness”. We
“simulate to stimulate.” In time fake laughter becomes
genuine and flows out like a fountain.
Laughter
Yoga crosses all barriers:
age, gender, language, culture, physical abilities, race,
religion, political beliefs, etc. because laughter is part of
the universal human vocabulary.
The
therapeutic value of Laughter
has been thoroughly and scientifically researched in the past
40 years, and its physical benefits proven beyond the shadow
of a doubt. Today there are over 6000 Laughter Clubs
worldwide, counting 250,000+ members.
