THE MAGIC OF LAUGHTER YOGA WITH DISABLED ADULTS
Laughter is exceptionally good for physical and emotional health. It helps boost self-esteem, which is particularly great for disabled persons. The method of laughter yoga, which is now practiced in 80 countries around the world, enables people to experience acceptance and joy.
Laughter yoga is a great addition to any program offered because it gets people doing physical exercise. Even if they are restricted to a wheelchair, they still get a cardiovascular workout by laughing.
“Some of the individuals I work with can’t comprehend a joke but with laughter yoga they don’t need to. They just see me laughing and they laugh along or at least smile. It is so contagious, which makes it really effective here”.
The principles of laughter yoga can dissipate conflict just by laughing and walking. By the time you get where you are going you won’t remember why you are mad, it’s an instant mood changer.”
