Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea.\u00a0 It is\u00a0simple and profound. An exercise routine, it is sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout.<\/p>\n

Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician from\u00a0India, launched the first Laughter Club at a Park on March 13, 1995, with merely a handful of people. Today, it has become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000 Social Laughter Clubs in about 60 countries.<\/p>\n
