Laughter Yoga: A Revolutionary Practice That Can Improve Your World

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

yoga

Laughter Yoga is a radical idea – basic and deep. An exercise routine, it is capturing the world and is a complete wellness workout. Laughter Yoga (Hasyayoga) is a kind of yoga utilizing self-triggered laughter. The “laughter” is physical naturally, and doesn’t automatically entail wit or comedy. The style was developed by Indian guru Jiten Kohi. It was made well-liked as an exercise routine launched by Madan Kataria, a physician in Mumbai, India. He was able to clearly show real preventive and healing effects from a laughter regime.

 

This particular yoga exercise is a exceptional concept of unconditional laughter with yogic inhaling and exhaling (Pranayama) and simple yoga asanas (postures) while dealing with loud, liberating “HO, HO, HA, HA” sounds. Unlike popular notion, Laughter Yoga has proven that you don’t need to need a sense of humor, to laugh. Anyone can chuckle for absolutely no cause, not depending on antics, humor or comedy. Laughter could be learned and designed into the body, to result in an entire transformation. Studies have proved that just 10-20 minutes of artificial or genuine laughter has a profound benefit on the body. This kind of yoga is physically-oriented, as it employs “a perfect blend of playful, empowering and otherwise “tension-releasing” simple laughter routines, interspersed with mellow breathing, warm up and stretching exercises, rhythmic clapping as well as chanting together. This successful blend leads to a number of health benefits, primarily improving the supply of o2 and boosting the defense mechanisms. It also energizes and restores the metabolism, making one feel fresh and full of energy. A lot of participants of this yoga exercise have felt a decrease in the frequency of respiratory system infections like common cold and influenza, and some other people noted defeating depression, relief/cure from chronic medical conditions. With people’s devoted contribution, Laughter Yoga has helped lots of people become healthier and stronger.

 

The aim of LYoga is to bring good health, pleasure and world peace through laughter. Laughter is universal without any language and cultural hindrances. Laughter Yoga Clubs are fast rising into a worldwide community of like-minded individuals who believe in unconditional love, laughter and fellowship. Every first Sunday of May is formally well known as World Laughter Day. In the year 2000, almost 10,000 people laughed together in Copenhagen, Denmark to set a Guinness Book Record.

 

In certain parts of India, LYoga has been introduced earlier to school children as element of their day-to-day school exercises, specifically in morning ceremonies. Laughter Yoga International accounts that in educational institutions where LYoga was incorporated in their regular program, school children’s conduct became energetic. They become more attentive and psychologically brighter. Some school principals even reported absolutely no absenteeism, as children were desirous to be present at classes. Laughter yoga, likewise, is used in business settings to ease anxiety and develop comraderie and also in jails to temper chaotic tendencies.

 

Yoga, specifically laughter yoga, positively enriches a person’s life. This different form of yoga exercise calms the mind, body and spirits as it emits endorphins — the feel-good hormones in our body. With a lot of beneficial factors, individuals excited about Laughter Yoga continue to keep snowballing.

Is Yoga Improving Your Wellness

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

yoga conference

In today’s modern world, discussing an age old principle such as yoga can be rather challenging. The true idea of this ancient art has long been forgotten, buried within the challenging lifestyle of modern day globalization. Most people choose to explain yoga as a simple concept rather than a complicated philosophy in order to help people understand better. The particulars of this training might not be easily recognized by the western civilization.

 

Referring to a problem you do not have a comprehensive understanding of, and spreading the words as the gospel truth is a dangerous business. Yoga is mainly perceived as a physical exercise in the western part of the world. It can be displayed as a physical activity which is focused on the achievement of internal balance and meditative states of mind.

 

It is among the six schools of Hindu thoughts has roots deep inside the pages of the Hindu Holy Scriptures. In India, yoga is considered a very spiritual experience that has a physical element into it. However the western world would rather refer yoga as a simple physical practice. The hidden particulars on this mysterious practice having its strange looking symbols could be successful to make the typical westerner conscious that there are more to yoga than physical moves alone, but nevertheless they are often misunderstood. Working from the wrong paradigm, yoga grew to become a kind of sports in the western world. The appeal of yoga as an ideal way to achieve inner serenity and stability has beckoned many to embrace this activity as well. Furthermore, people who wish inner tranquility might often find this practice to be useful.

 

The so called experts in this field have been quick to make use of these promises and people have been attracted. Deadly errors have been detected in the practice of yoga outside of India, showing the level of misunderstanding among the western practitioners. A closer look revealed that these types of errors were caused by the social influence of each race. Apparently, the west is not willing to spend too much effort in important contemplations of this philosophy, therefore the ensuing fatal error as a result of lack of understanding.

 

While meditation is an integral part of the practice, the westerners with their ever hectic lifestyles certainly don’t posses time for such recreation. The greed for power and material wealth that is crucial in the western culture doesn’t have place in the Hindu culture. The western man shall by no means reach the heights of intelligence according to the boundaries set by the Hindu faith and culture. Patience as well as time is necessary for meditation. The westerners don’t view investment in such contemplative occasions to the accomplishment of philosophical wisdom to be valuable. It places high amount of significance in the mere acquisition of wealth and power.

 

Ironically, yoga has been implemented as a trend in the western part of the world. There is plenty of information going out promoting yoga as a form of sport. Followers of popular people who later become false gurus are adamant about promoting their idol and his practice. The growing effect of this unhealthy philosophy is related to the disciples that are faithful in getting the news out about the benefits of adopting this crooked kind of yogic philosophy.
