Laughter Yoga, It's Healthy For You

Laughter Yoga, It's Healthy For You

The teacher gathers his laughter yoga students from the corners of this tiny studio on the second floor of a downtown Manhattan building. Most of us have never met and from the looks on some faces, aren't quite sure what to expect. "Ha-ha-ha," our laughter sensei begins, clapping along with the cadence. "Ha-ha-ha," we respond, also clapping. "Hee-hee-hee," he continues; we "hee-hee-hee" in obedient reply. Then we begin to meander around the room, clapping and continuing with different variations of the ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee chant. When we come face-to-face with someone, we have the option of patty-cake clapping with that person.
