LAUGHTER YOGA WITH INSURERS

ELVIE PUNZALAN-ESTAVILLO

            For the “midyear booster” of Cocolife Healthcare, Dr. Andro Sandoval, Vice-President, Medical Director,  invited me to conduct “the much-talked-and-written-about Laughter Yoga.”  On that special occasion the  200 youthful  staff of Cocolife Healthcare dressed themselves up in summer attire. Even their office reflected summery atmosphere, bringing sunshine indoor.

            Laughter Yoga is a life-changing experience!  It can help overhaul our way of thinking and looking at things and daily events  as we ride  the  roller coaster  of life.  During the Laughter Yoga session, I mentioned the following  always-appreciated-and-never-fails-to-amaze health trivia: one minute of mirthful laughter is equivalent to 10 minutes of cardio workout on a rowing machine; ten minutes of hearty  laughter equals 30 minutes of cardio workout on a rowing machine; one hour of Laughter Yoga can burn as much as 300 to 500 calories!  Imagine burning so much calories while  feeling  so good and happy! Fantastic indeed are the multi-health benefits of Laughter Yoga.   It is so doable one can do it -- alone.  And can do it right where and when the need or situation calls for it. 

            Laughter Yoga is my life-long-and-most-ardent advocacy to share with our beloved Kababayans this  life-changing experience  to help them  become healthy, happy and positive in life.  The fees receive are channeled towards construction of toilets and provision of complete water supply system to our adopted public schools.  The immeasurable joy I feel when I see hundred of participants  made happy, healthy and positive is my ultimate reward. The positive and inspiring feedback from participants serve as fuel that energizes me.

            Allow me then to quote verbatim the letter I received from Dr. Sandoval:

            “We are very happy to note that the general feedback from our close to 200 attendees to your recent Laughter Yoga session for Cocolife Healthcare was very positive.
