At school of Laughter Yoga - Elisa Bussoni - Bog

Have you ever heard of the yoga form that involves laughing for an extensive period of time? Does this concept sound crazy to you? It won't for long. In this book, we will explore the world of Laughter Yoga, a fairly new form of yoga that is increasing in popularity all over the world. With over 400 Laugher Clubs around the world, Laughter Yoga as an art form practiced by many. This emerging practice involves yoga-like breathing routines that mimic laughter while we exercise. Many are skeptical of this practice at first, but soon learn to love and enjoy every minute of it. In this book, we will cover what it means to practice and be involved with Laughter Yoga. Many of my own personal experiences and thoughts on the practice will be shared, as I hope it will help others to improve where they are in Laughter Yoga or to help them get into their first sessions. We will also go over the origins of the practice, as it first began with a magazine article writing assignment and a small Laughter Club of just 5 people in 1995. The many benefits of Laughter Yoga will also be explored. Even if you think laughter couldn't possibly improve our health now, you will soon see what it can offer to us. This practice can help us to be more relaxed and less stressed in our fast-paced lives. We can also improve our cardiovascular health, which is something most Americans need to help prevent the number one killer in our country, heart disease. Laughter Yoga can also help improve the way that we breathe and the strength of our lungs, which is especially helpful for those with breathing conditions like asthma. We can also improve our immune systems, as laughter helps to circulate fluids in our body that help fight disease. These benefits do not even cover all that is possible when you practice Laughter Yoga, which you will see within the contents of this book. Learning to embrace your inner child and removing the fear of judgment are also important principles to remember when practicing Laughter Yoga. You must set yourself free and know that the classes you attend are rid of any judgement you may fear. Even if you practice at home, you can still feel comfort in knowing that the practice is meant to be a silly, fun-filled experience. You will feel like a child again, which is perfectly fine! Children are often masters in having fun and laughing as much as possible. In Laughter Yoga, you will aim to be like a child in this way to master the art. Some classes you attend may even have children practicing along with you, as they tend to really enjoy Laughter Yoga. Now you are ready to begin or improve the way you practice the art of Laughter Yoga. You will soon experience all of the wonderful qualities this art form has to offer, hopefully with as much enjoyment as I, and many others, have gotten from it!
