This is also called Laughter Yoga http://www.laughteryoga.org/
Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea – simple and profound. An exercise
routine, it is fast sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout.
It is the brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, an Indian physician from Mumbai
who started the first laughter club in a park on 13th March 1995, with just
5 people. Today, it has become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000
social laughter clubs in 60 countries.
Laughter Yoga combines unconditional laughter with deep breathing. Anyone
can laugh for no reason, without relying on humour, jokes or comedy. Laughter
is simulated as a body exercise in a group but with eye contact and childlike
playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter.
The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.
