Laughter Yoga is serious business

A SERIOUSLY new form of emotional therapy has emerged to tickle the fancy of miserable people everywhere.

Some are already laughing their way to health and happiness through the treatment called Laughter Yoga. Those who devised it are, of course, laughing all the way to the bank.

Introduced to Ireland by Castlebar-based therapist Mary Mitchell, Laughter Yoga is a blend of yogic deep breathing, stretching, stimulated laughter exercises and cultivated child-like playfulness.
