Yoga produces an unique physiological balance in the human body by connecting body, mind and spirit.
Laughter, on the other hand, is a cognitive, affective and behavioral response familiar to every one of us. Let us try to find similarities between the two. It means getting hold of our lives, integrating all aspects of life, harmonizing our bodies with our minds, spirits and society. When I first thought about the idea of Laughter Clubs, it was only to have fun and laughter. I didn't have yoga in my mind at all.
