Laughter or hasna yoga is an intentional exercise involving movement and yogic breathing exercises (pranayama) to promote voluntary laughter over a prolonged period. No jokes are necessary here. Laughter can be faked, and the human body and mind do not know it is simulated. This type of yoga is based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides similar physiological and psychological benefits as spontaneous laughter. It is usually done in groups, with eye contact and much playfulness between participants. Intentional laughter often turns into real and contagious laughter. It involves breathing exercises that aim to cultivate joy, bring out your inner child, and help you let go of daily life stressors.
