Laughter club seances
A laughter club is a group of people who meet to laugh together and practice laughter yoga exercises.
The idea behind laughter clubs is that they are open to everyone, with little to no fees and no registration. The commitment is personal – you come regularly for your own enjoyment!
Even if it can seem strange or weird the first time you practice it, every exercise brings forth irresistible natural laughter and has a specific intrinsic function:
- The “Lion Laughter” loosens the tongue, relaxes the jaw and throat;
- The “Argument Laughter” allows you to argue… while laughing;
- The “Laugh at Yourself” allows you to laugh at our good and not so good actions;
- The “Cold Motor Laughter” ignites your inner motor through laughter;
- And the “Laughter Meditation” is like dormitory laughter… we prefer to let your imagination fill in the blanks!
Simple movements accompany some of the exercises and allow you to awaken certain muscles as well as the zygomatic. Deep regular breathing allows you to connect with your breath.
A full session lasts about 45 to 75 minutes and is like internal jogging. You come away just as breathless and revitalized as having done aerobics or yoga. And in addition, you’re laughing!
But even the best description isn’t worth much unless you’ve tried it… and retried it, since even though you’ll experience immediate benefits, the long term benefits will only be felt after several sessions.
New Laughter Clubs are created every month. To rediscover the pleasure of laughing, to take advantage of the many benefits laughter provides, to socialize, to do yourself some good, and for the simple joy of LAUGHTER!
