Have any of you participated in Laughter Yoga?? We are hoping to engage in a session on our forthcoming trip and wondered if anyone had any stories to share?

Hi Petrov,
At the start of the session, the teachers narrate a few jokes to get the laughter juice flowing, then people start to laugh for no apparent reason and it is quite infectious. I attended one such meet and it was a lot of fun.
Btw, a great way to start the day.
Best,

They do this in Delhi, saw a programme about it here, very bizarre indeed.
They do it in Germany too, they have to
Sorry Yash, couldn't resist it!

Smoked for 25 years but now not smoked since 13th Jan. Am I now a non smoker, a smoker who doesn't smoke or an ex smoker? Do I have to even have a title, can I not just be a 'me'? Has not smoking made me crazy?, probably!

It's definitely got to be done - sounds like such a good way to start the day!
I found this list of clubs in India:
http://www.laughtery...p...&name=India
But the info is quite sparse, I'll try calling a few while I'm in various places

It was a huge fad and there was a documentary on CNN, too. ' Hasya Yoga' (Yoga of laughter) is the name given to This exercise. They are quite easy to find in Bangalore (Petrov has provided a good list).
In that list, I could't hellp but notice is a club called Sri Vaishnavi Julliet Laughter club, too.

Not bizarre at all - they're great fun! And who couldn't do with a good laugh - the best thing since chopped liver.

forget the chopped liver - add bubblegum instead.

Here's a bit of Laughter Yoga from Bombay.
