Come and Join Our laughter Club!

Dr Martin offers regular Laughter Yoga Sessions in Somerset West

Laughter yoga is a popular movement and breathing exercise that aims to cultivate joy, bring out your inner child, and help you let go of daily life stressors. Considering that laughter is contagious, it’s no surprise that laughing yoga has grown from one small group in Mumbai, India to over 5,000 clubs worldwide. Though advocates claim it relieves stress and reduces your risk of chronic disease, you may wonder whether it really works.

Laughter yoga is usually practiced in a group setting, such as a club or workshop, and led by a trained laughing yoga instructor that coaches attendees through various exercises to promote enjoyment and laughter. The session may also include improv exercises, citing positive affirmations, gentle stretching, yoga breath work, and mindfulness. Collectively, these practices are intended to help you laugh, let loose, and take yourself less seriously!

Laughter yoga will help to reduce stress, promote a greater sense of well-being, and help you connect with others.
