Yoga laugh your way to health

Now, before you deem me to be insane, think this one through. Laughing is not only a great release, but also a coping mechanism for stress and when coupled with yoga how can you go wrong?
Ha ha or Hasya yoga combines breathing techniques with chanting laughter. The general goal is to inspire genuine laughter through a series of ha has and ho hos. This may sound absurd, however, I know first hand that once you pretend to laugh, the real thing is soon to follow. Once you've caught your breath, you feel like you've had a workout and a load lifted off your shoulders. This exercise enables the events of the day to melt away, leaving you relaxed and content.
