Laughter yoga is a sport that improves your health and psychological condition
“When you laugh, you change. When you change, the world around you changes.” ”
A profound phrase to begin with in my talk to Dr. Madan Kataria about the profound impact that laughter has on an individual’s life, and its great ability to improve the quality of your life and your psychological and physical condition. This is how the idea of the Laughter Yoga movement began from India.

Breathing, meditation and laughter without relying on jokes and humor, only through the idea of contagious laughter
The foundations of this movement d. Madan Kataria when Read about the importance of laughter to relieve physical and mental pain
He cannot differentiate between a natural laugh and an artificial one, and that the mind responds to it in the same way

Why laughter yoga?
1- The importance of deep belly laughter, as our daily laughter is very superficial and insufficient
As studies have shown that we need 10-15 minutes of laughter daily to improve our health

a. Healthy laughter comes from the heart, with or without a reason
B. Unhealthy laughter is filled with bullying of others or ridicule of those around us
