Laughter Yoga: It all Started with One Person
Though laughing therapy has been used for decades, Laughter Yoga was discovered by Dr. Madan Kataria, a family physician in Mumbai, India, in 1995.
Does it Work?
Laughing provides immediate benefits, such as improved mood.
And more attention is being placed on the long-term benefits of regular, daily laughing.
Laughing releases endorphins and “happy” hormones like dopamine and serotonin.
Plus, it suppresses stress hormones like cortisol. These effects are linked to better mood, reduced pain, lower blood pressure, a stronger immune system, and lower stress levels and rates of depression, to name just a few benefits.
Real or Fake?
Many researchers believe that the body cannot distinguish between fake (simulated) or real (spontaneous) laughter, meaning you can benefit by simply forcing yourself to laugh.
A 2019 study found simulated laughter lowered depression rates and improved mood.
The authors of the study stated that laughter exercises require little cognition and don’t rely on subjective humor, meaning most people can easily participate and reap the benefits.
