About Me

Laughter Yoga KC takes place at Plaza Wellspring Yoga Studio (49th and Main in the US Bank building) every Friday starting June 13th at 6:00pm. This is a free class.
What is Laughter Yoga?
Laughter Yoga (also known as Hasya Yoga) is a combination of simple, tension-releasing laughter exercises combined with gentle yoga breathing techniques.
I don't laugh very often. Will Laughter Yoga be hard?
While genuine laughter is wonderful, and often happens in a Laughter Yoga session, it isn't the primary goal of Laughter Yoga. We use laughter-like movements (sudden and rapid diaphragm movements) to oxygenate the body, flush the lungs, strengthen the immune system, and boost "happy" chemistry in the brain.
I don't exercise very much. Will it be dangerous to try Laughter Yoga?
Laughter Yoga is appropriate for all levels of ability. We start with pretend-laughter and move from there. Those who are unable to sit on the floor will be provided with a chair.
Will it be against my belief system?
Laughter Yoga is non-political, non religious, non-racial, non-threatening, non-competitive. It comes with no strings attached. There are no jokes or comedy, therefore there is no judging. No mind = no ego, no room for conflict or power struggle. Laughter is a universal language that transcends all barriers: language, age, gender, social or racial background.
Do I have to come to the yoga studio to do a session?
No - you can hire Certified Laughter Yoga teachers to hold a session at your company or private event. Call 816-931-6533 for more information.
I want to try it, but I'm embarrassed to come.
Try it at home with these videos!
