Enthusiasts chuckle their way to good health with laughing yoga
Many people know that laughing is good for you. Sharing jokes with friends, going to see a funny movie or playing with a favorite pet is a good way to chuckle and giggle your way to good health, since doing so can burn calories and improve your mental well-being.
The benefits of laughing as a method of stress management have been incorporated into yoga by some cheerful instructors, such as Dave Russell, a man in need of some lightheartedness after decades working in the field of domestic violence, according to Forest Hills-Regent Square Patch.
Russell explained that the socializing aspect of laughing yoga is one of the most important, in his opinion.
"The most influential practices compared diet to sleep to nutrition, and socialization by far is the most influential thing that we do to influence the quality of life and longevity," he told the news source. "I quote that and I say, we believe in laughter yoga that laughter takes its legitimate place beside all of these other good practices."
He and his friends participate in one such group that meets on Thursday evenings, and some of the loyal enthusiasts have been attending for three or four years.
