The definitive book on the laughter therapy methods (Hasya Yoga) and laughter clubs developed by Dr. Madan Kataria in Mubai, India. A "must" reference for anyone who wishes to use laughter therapeutically or for organizing a laughter club. Explains in detail the steps for a laughter sesion, the relationship of laughter to yoga, and the various laughters that comprise a laughter workout. Explains how health and world peace can be achieved through laughter.
"Dr. Kataria has developed a new technique of Laughter, based on yoga, in which anyone can participate." There is no joke. This book "combine laughter exercises based on yogic breathing and stretching techniques". There are also information about the scientific rational of yoga and laughter.
It is an interesting book. Dr. Kataria created the Laughter Clubs. This book explain how those groups work.
I didn't quite finish the book but it gave me the lift off into laughing yoga (even the silent kind) that I needed. I know it sounds odd but it's actually pretty cool.
