Laughter Yoga, to find your child’s soul

Laughter yoga is like a tool for personal development that allows you to do good, regain a certain spontaneity and release tension.

The Laughter Yoga is a new discipline: About 25 years. It was developed by an Indian doctor: Dr Madan Kataria, which was based on scientific studies.

The goal of laughing yoga is to share it with several people, usually a minimum of six people to promote group emulsion. It is a moment of well-being , of conviviality , of laughter. No physical skills or specific knowledge are necessary for the practice of laughter yoga.

If that yoga or ashtanga yoga, for example, is practice on a mat with a sequence of postures. Laughter yoga follows the exercises, performed in motion, keeping eye contact with the other participants while remaining in his comfort zone.

When offered in business , laughter yoga promotes group cohesion and allows employees to be seen in a different light.

What happens during a session?

A child laughter yoga session lasts one hour. It begins with a presentation of the course of the session. Then, very quickly, we get to the heart of the matter with little exercises intend to relax the atmosphere. The facilitator can, for example, ask the participants positioned in a circle to count to 9, then he suggests replacing the 6 by the word ‘pizza’, and the 7 by pasta. He thus creates, thanks to the game, an effective ‘icebreaker’.

Then, the exercise continues with body movements: we walk, we pass someone, we offer them a smile, a laugh … We continue with some mobilization exercises: move the wrists, the pelvis, the head, perform ample movements with the arms to favour the opening of the body and the breathing. Then we use the voice and the sounds ‘oh oh ah ah ah’ to oxygenate the lungs, which allows the air to be evacuated.

Then come the laughter exercises  whose objective is to provoke a laugh, perhaps forced at first, but more and more natural afterwards. Among these exercises, we can propose, for example, ‘the laughter meter’: each participant, by mimicry of the facilitator, shares this movement to the sound of ‘hey! ho! ha! ‘ to end with bursts of laughter.

From the first laugh, it’s won, even if it takes a quarter of an hour of continuous laughter to really benefit from the benefits of the session. But laughter being communicative, it spreads quickly in the assembly
