Together with LOL Events, our official partner for “Laughter is the Best Medicine”, we will be organising a total of 5 sessions of Laughter Yoga from July until November. Between July and October, the public can join any of the available 4 sessions while the last session is for employees of Berjaya Sompo Insurance.

Laughing is an easy way to strengthen all immune functions, bring more oxygen to the body and brain, foster positive feelings and improve interpersonal skills.

Laughter Yoga is a new form of exercise akin to internal jogging that promotes the use of laughter as a form of physical exercise. It has become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000 social laughter clubs in 65 countries. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. As it follows a body-mind approach to laughter, participants do not need to have a sense of humour, know jokes, or even be happy. The invitation is to laugh for no reason, faking it until it becomes real.

One of the most motivating factors for people to join Laughter Yoga sessions is the belief in the multiple health benefits they will derive from it. It is not about the concept or the philosophy which attracts them; eventually, it is only about what they will get and how it will benefit their lives. Below are the top 3 benefits.
 
Health Benefits
Laughter Yoga is a powerful cardio workout and just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is equal to 30 minutes on the rowing machine. It increases blood circulation and relaxes the muscles. It is also a powerful antidote for depression, reduces blood pressure, reduces symptoms of allergies, asthma, arthritis and helps in chronic illnesses like cancer.
 
Personal Life
Your mood states determine the quality of your life. Laughter Yoga has the power to change your mood within minutes by releasing certain chemicals from your brain called endorphins. If your mood is good, you feel good within and will remain cheerful throughout the day.
 
Social life
The quality of life and life satisfaction does not depend on how much money, power, position and success you have in life, rather it depends on the number of good friends with whom we have a caring and sharing relationship. Laughter is a powerful tool to connect with people easily.
