What is Laughter Yoga?
Formulated in the late 1990s in Mumbai by Dr. Madan Kataria, inspired by work of Norman Cousins and others, Laughter Yoga (Hasyayoga) uses voluntary laughter, playful exercises, stretching and yogic breathing to generate real laughter. The goal is 15 minutes of belly laughter per session. Start out fake laughing, or even laughing sarcastically, and real laughter generally takes over. Seeing and hearing other humans laugh generally makes people want to join in. Laughter Yoga creates judgement-free space to laugh, be joyous and foster levity. Creating a regular practice of laughter makes it easier to laugh in general, even in the face of challenges.
What happens in Kron’s Online Laughter Yoga Group?
We meet via zoom and start with a one-song dance party, generally for 3 minutes, just to create the space within the body and escape the tyranny of the mind. Dancing can always be done seated, and all Laughter Yoga exercises are accessible. Next, we move on to the Laughter Yoga exercises, which involve imagining, enacting and laughing at different scenarios, along with gentle movement. We transition between exercises by clapping and chanting to keep our energy up and encourage each other. We end with a Yoga Nidra cool-down with Reiki and a guided imagery meditation to create the changes we want in our lives. Sessions are 30 minutes long. Laughter Yoga is free to the community.

Kron received Laughter Yoga Leader Certification in 2019 from Lisa Berman, and has been leading Laughter Yoga groups ever since.
