Laughter Yoga with Mayumi @ Ocean View Yoga

Laughter Yoga is a unique practice that blends unconditional laughter with yogic breathing (Pranayama) to bring more joy, energy, and well-being into our lives. Originating in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician in India, Laughter Yoga was created as a way to harness the power of laughter for mental, emotional, and physical health. Dr. Kataria discovered that the body cannot distinguish between real and voluntary laughter—both provide the same profound benefits!
Through playful exercises, deep breathing, and intentional laughter, this practice elevates mood, relieves stress, and increases oxygen flow, leaving you feeling light, refreshed, and energized. Laughter Yoga is not just about humor—it’s about cultivating joy, resilience, and connection. Science even shows that laughter releases endorphins, reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and improves overall well-being.
