Your Yoga Move for the Day

May 05, 2008
Read this story on the "laughter yoga" trend and chuckle. That little snicker is apparently not only good for you but will save you money.  Now you don't have to sign up for a class to learn how to laugh.

I can see Dick Van Dyke cracking up now in that "Mary Poppins" song where they're all up on the ceiling...

Paula,

I've gone to a laughing yoga class (in Carrboro, of course) and it was one of the wildest experiences I've ever had. For a full 30 minutes, I was truly belly laughing at the ridiculousness of what I was doing (we were all lying down) and when that wore off, I had to do the "ho ho, ha ha, he he" number. I highly recommend trying it at least once. By the way, it was free. My family gets regular deep belly laughs (and hopefully the immunity-boosting effects!) by watching Amercia's Funniest Home Videos once a week.

Paula says...

I suppose the advantage of laughter yoga class over America's Funniest Home Video laughter is that in the former, there is no slouching or cheeto-munching allowed!

Sarah says...

Well, there's lots of slouching and cheeto-munching at my house. Even the fiery-hot kind (munching, not slouching)
