What is laughing yoga?
Well, it’s just as it sounds. An hour-long session where you have the opportunity to completely lose yourself with a group of two hundred or so (mostly locals) over some unabashed laughing. It’s based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides the same physiological and psychological benefits as spontaneous laughter. And believe us, it does! You’ll be laughing your heart out, embrace your fellow yogis and try some hilarious aerobic dancing.
