In this episode, we talk to the world renowned Dr Madan Kataria, Laughter Guru, MD, and creator/founder of the original Laughter Yoga Club! Madan tells the listeners all about how Laughter Yoga came to fruition, and we explore the benefits, physiologically, mentally, and community wide that Laughter Yoga brings to its students. We explore the impact that integrating Laughter Yoga has on your environment, both internally and externally. Madan also gives the listeners insight into what he's sees to be the future, both pandemic wise, and the advances our society can make.
Laughter Yoga is an exercise where students actively cultivate unconditional joy. Things don't have to be funny to laugh, and the laughter yogi doesn't have to be genuinely laughing to experience the benefits. The term "Fake it 'til you make it" really applies here, and also the term "laughter is contagious" also carries a lot of weight, even if in the beginning the student feels uncomfortable ease is not far behind. The action of deep, belly laughs, helps the body to excrete CO2 from the lungs while simultaneously hyper oxygenating the body. More oxygen equals a better internal environment for the organs to do their work, and it also creates a more hostile environment for pathogens, making it harder for disease to thrive in the body. Laughter Yoga also helps the body naturally create feel good hormones, even when the laughter yogi doesn't think things are truly funny.
Creating environments for the body to thrive also lowers stress, which is a major cause for disease. Laughter yoga can help people suffering from all sorts of ailments find more ease and can even help reverse disease. Tune into this episode to learn more!
