Namaslaughter? AHAHAHA!

Sitting in yoga class, my instructor decides to take the class for a little spin. The last ten minutes were dedicated to practice laughter yoga! I sat there thinking that this will be impossible, public relations homework, stress, the list is never ending.

Then to see random woman laughing hysterically for no reason became reason enough for me. Bellies shacking, snorting, even some knee slaps, these women really gave the works.

Let me share with you how relaxing it felt, spirits were up and tears were pouring. I never thought abs exercising could be this easy. I went home and had to read up on laughing yoga.

Laughter Yoga was started in Mumbai, India by Dr. Madan Kataria. Unknown to some, but laughter releases chemicals called endorphins in your body. This allows your body to feel good, release stress and promote good health.

Being architects of our own life, you have two choices: be sad or be happy. If you choose to be happy your outlook becomes optimistic, which leads to positive outcomes. You suddenly feel that your diet is just a diet. The stain on your carpet is just a stain. Always remember that it could be worse.

My grandmother once said, ‘that the only thing in life that will remain the same is change’. So laugh, your sadness for whatever legitimate reason is only temporary.

I recommend taking at least one laughter yoga class in your life. Not only will it relieve you of your tension but it will prepare you for World Laughter Day, which is May 6th.
