Sounds and looks fun, but I can't because...

If you think you're not fit enough, Laughter Yoga revolves primarily around different types of breathing exercises, laughing being one of them. Inherently, you don't even need to have limbs (it's of course much more fun with them!) If you can breathe, you can laugh. Laughter will help you breathe significantly better and ALSO make you feel good at the same time.

If you think you don't look good enough Whether you are green or blue, whole or in pieces does not matter. Anybody can breathe without having to justify why or feeling ashamed or worthless for doing so, whether alone or in a group. Same thing with laughter. It will teach you to accept yourself, be at peace inside, and overall feel good about your very existence. Your body doesn't think. What you feel and the meaning you assign to your feelings are two different things. Nerve impulses are just that and nothing more: nerve impulses. As such understand that we don't laugh because we're happy. We're happy because we laugh.

If you think others won't accept you and/or laugh at you Laughter Yoga is exercise, not comedy. it comes with no judgements and does not even leave enough time to participants to have any. It gets you out of your head and into your body. One of the most common feedback at the end of any laughter session is actually precisely that "it was so nice to not be judged". Anybody can practice Laughter Yoga and benefit.

We encourage you to look into the Laughter Wellness program. It is a Western adaptation of the Eastern Laughter Yoga method. It follows a systematic activity approach that all can follow and succeed with, regardless of the quality of their own laughter
