About Laughter Yoga
Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from India, started Laughter Yoga on March 13, 1995 at a park with only a few people. Today, Laughter Yoga has 10,000 groups internationally. Laughter Yoga has been featured by a plethora of magazines, newspapers and television programs including The Oprah Winfrey Show, The New York Times, ABC, CNN, and The New Yorker.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
Kataria's belief is that anyone can laugh for no reason. It is based on the science that the body and cannot determine the difference between real laughter and fake laughter. During Laughter Yoga, laughter is stimulated as a group exercise through eye contact, and childlike playfulness; and soon the laughter beings and spreads throughout the room because laughter is contagious.
