After a very busy day at work I went to laughter yoga for the very first time!I was a little apprehensive as I had absolutely no idea what I was letting myself in for - except a laugh!
Anyhow, there was 8 of us in total and we were all nervous beginners!
At beginner of the session our tutor explained the history and benefits of laughter yoga and explained that a lot of the practise was about eye contact! At first I felt very self-conscious and uncomfortable forcing myself to laugh but I was amazed how quickly the forced laughter became real! Before long it became difficult NOT to laugh! It was both hilarious and stupid rolled into one! I would definitely recommend it as a way of team building and de-stressing. After the relaxation part at the end we all felt revived and relaxed! I would definitely recommend!
Straight after this I felt so energised that I went swimming! The pool was amazingly quiet and I had a swimming lane all to myself! I managed to swim 2050 metres (1.27 miles) and felt like I could have kept going! Perhaps there is something in this laughter lark after all!
