“You don’t stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old ​because you stop laughing!”

Michael Prichard


Add More Laughter To Life: Laughter Yoga is ideally suited for helping seniors ​live a more laughing life. As we grow older, we tend to laugh less and less, ​because of Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, often understanding of jokes is ​lost. This is because humour is a mental and cognitive phenomenon. Laughter ​Yoga is ideally suited for seniors to do laughter as a form of exercise and get ​multiple health benefits from it.


Promotes Physical Health: As we grow older, because of the wear and tear ​most seniors have many ailments like high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma ​and other diseases. Laughter Yoga helps in healing from illnesses by ​strengthening the immune system, increasing oxygen to the body and bringing ​a positive mental attitude.


Supports Good Mental Health: Many seniors suffer from depression, ​frustration and anger. As they lose loved ones and their health, it becomes ​increasingly difficult to maintain a positive mental attitude. Laughter Yoga ​changes a person’s biochemistry in a way that supports good mental health ​regardless of their circumstances.


Laughter Yoga Adds to Longevity: If Laughter Yoga exercise routine ​is practiced regularly, it gives the Elders a reason and purpose to ​live fully every day. AS the population becomes increasingly older ​every day, Laughter Yoga is a tool for transformational aging and ​increased longevity.


Cognitive Stimulation: Engagement in Laughter Yoga exercises ​stimulates the brain, promotes mental alertness and cognitive ​function. The Combination of laughter and gentle movement helps ​maintain cognitive abilities and enhance memory for seniors.


Pain Relief: Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, which act ​as natural painkillers. Regular laughter yoga practice may help ​alleviate chronic pain conditions and improve pain tolerance and ​improve sleeping quality.
