"The laughter yoga is especially beneficial for different parts of our body. We do some exercises in it and especially for the children. Children are too much stressed nowadays. Generally we think that children should normally laugh 400 times a day but they are not laughing as much,” said Jiten Kohli, Chairman of Institute of Laughter Yoga.
“We, as parents, teachers and society persons, are pressurizing them too much. The children are full of knowledge, that's why they are stressed too much and stress can only be reduced by laughing," said Kohli.
Medically it has been proved that laughter has many benefits. Laughter, even if forced, reduces stress, which in turn reduces blood pressure, heart disease, Asthama and diabetes.
"Laughter yoga creates a laugh from inside your body, so that changes the entire attitude of your mind, that provides a person development also and it is very good for children," Kohli further added.
Students, meanwhile, say such sessions are good for them.
“It helps one to take things easy and more of such extra curricular activities should be included," said Parvati Sharma, one of the students.
There are three negative hormones in our body that generates negativity, which in turn increases stress and anxiety. With laughter such negativity can be controlled.
Do you know that laughter has many different kinds? The Laughter Yoga school classifies as Namaste Laugh, Chilly Coup Laugh, Belly Laugh, Lions Laugh, Ghost Laugh, Birds, Butterfly Laugh and others.
