A therapy new to Ireland, Laughter Yoga is a blend of yogic deep breathing, stretching, stimulated laughter exercises and cultivated child-like playfulness. Already men and women of all ages are feeling the benefits!

Laughter Yoga offers: an alternative aerobic exercise (according to Dr. William Fry of Stanford University one minute of laughter is equal to 10 minutes on the rowing machine); a supplementary and preventative therapy against other ailments; natural pain relief through increasing the level of endorphins in the body; an aide in the prevention of depression, anxiety and psychosomatic disorders; improved breathing capacity (laughter yoga is beneficial for asthmatics, athletes, actors and singers); strengthened immune system; increased confidence and positive outlook.

Laughter Yoga was founded by Dr. Madan Kataria a medical physician from Mumbai dubbed the “Guru of Giggling” by the London Times. At present there are more than 1200 Laughter Clubs in India, USA, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Dubai. I trained with Dr. Kataria and am delighted to be the founder of Laughter Yoga in Ireland. I look forward to spreading the benefits of this great therapy to the Irish public.
