When I first heard about Laughter Yoga, I decided to attend a session, where I learned about its several health benefits. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with cancer, which came as a big shock. But, it was regular practice of laughter exercises that made a significant improvement in my health and changed my whole life.

Having been committed to my daily sessions of Laughter Yoga for the past year, I became convinced that my contentment, positivity and generally laid-back approach to life was so engrained into my psyche that nothing could alter this state. I was also pleased with my state of health in that I have been cold-free over the past year.

I was initiated into Laughter Yoga in 2014. After doing it over the weekends initially, all of us in the Jalvayu Laughter Club, Noida, started doing it daily from Jan 2015. As the word spread, our membership kept on growing and now we have over 100 members. The results have been very beneficial and I personally have benefitted in physically, mentally as well as spiritually.

Joy has been a big word for me all my life and Laughter Yoga has helped me connect to that on a very deep level through my daily practice. Physically, it has strengthened my immune system and I definitely have less bouts of cold and cough. Even my nervous system is much stronger now, which has helped to manage some scoliosis in my back.
