Laughter Yoga at Retreat Yourself 2024
Scientifically supported benefits of laughter yoga
Elevates mood
Laughing triggers the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which are associated with happiness and pleasure. Doing Laughter Yoga can change your mood within minutes by releasing feel good endorphins from your brain cells.
Stress Reduction
Laughter yoga can reduce levels of stress hormones like cortisol, built up as a result of sustained stress and increase levels of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals.
Studies have shown that laughter can lead to a significant reduction in stress levels.
Strengthens the immune system
Some research suggests that laughter can boost the immune system by increasing the production of immune cells and antibodies, potentially leading to better resistance against infections.
Reduces anxiety
Any type of laughter stimulates diaphragmatic breathing, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and triggers the “tend-and-befriend” response helping to calm the body and the mind and reduce anxiety.
Improved Respiratory Function
When we laugh we find we are breathing more deeply and take in more oxygen, enabling our brains and our bodies to function more optimally. You'll feel energized after a good laughter yoga session! And just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is the same as 30 minutes on the rowing machine.
Social Connector
Quality of life depends upon quality of our friends and our relationships.
Laughter is a great connector of people and is a social behavior that promotes bonding and strengthens caring and sharing relationships.
Enhanced Cognitive Function
Laughter stimulates brain regions associated with learning, creativity, and problem-solving.
Engaging in laughter yoga may thus help sharpen cognitive skills and improve mental agility.
Laughing through Challenges
Anyone can laugh when times are good, but Laughter Yoga teaches people to laugh unconditionally so that they can laugh even when times are hard.
It provides strength in adversity, a coping mechanism to help people keep a positive mental attitude regardless of circumstances.
