Have You Heard of Laughter Yoga?

From laughteryoga.org: 

"Laughter Yoga For Health & Happiness

In today’s world, people want to be healthy, they want to be happy, but instead they are getting stressed out , depressed, getting less sleep, more negative thoughts and feeling isolated.
Laughter Yoga is a unique concept where any one can laugh as a form of exercise in a group. Which soon turns into real & spontaneous laughter. Find out more about benefits of Laughter Yoga on your body & mind."
A friend of mine tried it recently and she said although she was skeptical at first, the class was filled with spontaneous laughter.  It must be contagious!!  She said she couldn't look at her friend during the instructional portion of the class because she was worried about laughing at an inappropriate time.  That sounds like a good problem to have, right?
Wikihow.com gives a tutorial with pictures.  It looks like a lot of fun!!  There is a facebook group and a youtube video with John Cleese involved; can't get better than that..........
We can all use more laughter in our lives.  It is a really great way to be healthier at the same time.  If you think feeling better has to be hard work, think again, my friend!!  If we all made the effort to laugh more, exercise more, and even combine the two, the world could be a more peaceful place!!  Whenever we can find easy ways to boost our happiness quotient, we are on the right path.  If you say "why?", I say "why not?"
Have a great day!
