Started in 1995 in from Mumbai Laughter Yoga is a unique concept where you don’t need a reason to laugh, you don’t need any jokes or comedy and laughter is simulated in the form of an exercise. It combines laughter exercises with deep breathing techniques from yoga, which brings more oxygen to our body and brain and makes us more healthy and energetic. Studies have proved that even you pretend to laugh, the body does not know the difference between real and fake laughter and one gets the same health benefits as from real laughter.
