Hasya Yoga: laughing your way to Good Health

August 17, 2017 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

Hasya Yoga: laughing your way to Good Health

When chuckles, giggles and  belly laughs are mixed with yoga, it becomes ‘laughter yoga’ — the fun way to reduce stress.

Not only is it fun to laugh, but laughter yoga (also known as Hasya yoga) can provide many health benefits: it serves to reduce stress, enhance the immune system, strengthen cardiovascular functions, oxygenate the body by boosting the respiratory system, improve circulation, tone muscles and helps with digestion and constipation.

Children laugh from 300-400 times a day . When we grow older, we laugh 15-20 times a day, so we have lost this ability to laugh.

Like more traditional fitness classes, laughter yoga requires a warm-up period. Since students can’t necessarily start a class prepared to break out into deep laughter, they begin with the clapping and chanting. Then they performbreathing exercises, followed by stretches and laughing games.

Hasya Yoga: laughing your way to Good Health

Laughter Yoga  combines deep, controlled breathing and stretches with various types of simulated laughter and laughter broken down into syllables in a chant form. The laughter may feel contrived or forced when you first begin the class but after a short while it becomes totally contagious a most natural release even blissful. The laughter meditation is an incredible experience. Each time you practice it comes more readily and deeper. When you stimulate laughter the body doesn’t know that it is not real and reacts in the same manner as in your peak moments of joy by releasing the feel good health giving hormones or endorphins. These endorphins trigger the whole of your hormone system and the neuro transmitters in the brain. When you start laughing without a reason your physiology and biochemistry changes. During the practice of laughter Yoga the abdominal muscles vigorously contract and expand
