Laughter Yoga Club of the Philippines

Laughter is nature’s best and fastest stress buster.

It lifts our spirits with a happy high that makes us feel good and improves our behavior towards others. Laughter-Yoga members believe that the whole world is an extended family.

Aside from hearty laughter, a combination of some yoga and breathing exercises, is added to enhance the laughter-yoga session for more healthful benefits. Laughter-Yoga is value-based, with moral dimensions to help sooth the mind, body and spirit.

 

 

Laughter yoga is physically - oriented.

It employs a perfect blend of playful, empowering and otherwise tension-releasing simple laughter exercises, interspersed with gentle breathing, warm up and stretching exercises, rhythmic clapping and chanting in unison.

These exercises are done as a way to improve health, increase well-being,

and promote peace in the world through personal transformation. In Laughter Yoga -- laughter is a tool, not an emotion.

Laughter puts us intensely in the now.

The ability to fully live and experience the present is of utmost importance, being the only moment where we can experience happiness.

As we laugh, our bodies release a cocktail of hormones and chemicals that have startling positive effects on our system. Stress is reduced, blood pressure drops, depression is lifted, your immune system is boosted and more! Even modern Western science acknowledges the great healing effects of laughter.
