The chef in my chalet, her husband is a laugher yoga INSTRUCTOR, it's for real. I absolutely LOVE the sound of this. It involves doing all these weird exercises that make you laugh. Here's what it says on the internet about it...
Laughter Yoga (Hasyayoga) is a form of yoga employing self-triggered laughter. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on the scientific observation that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter, and that both provide the same physiological and psychological benefits.Laughter Yoga is the only technique that allows adults to achieve sustained hearty laughter without involving cognitive thought. It bypasses the intellectual systems that normally act as a brake on natural laughter.
Here are a few of the exercises...
Electric shock laughter greeting: imagine that everything you touch gives you a shock of static electricity. Chant an extended "aeee" sound as you approach one finger to your target, then jump backward and laugh each time you touch it.
Ha ha ha name introduction: make a circle. Each person says his or her name in turn and laughs.
Humming laughter greeting: laugh with your mouth closed as you greet people in the manner of your choice.
Laughter musical scale greeting: sing the musical scale up and down in laughter language as you greet people.
Namaste laughter: put your hands together in front of your chest (palms facing), and laugh as you bow your head to one another. No words need to be spoken. Namaste means "the light in me bows to the light in you".
How funny is that. Hahahahahaha. Ridiculous. I love it
