Laughter yoga is a series of practices that involves mindful breathing , clapping , laughter yoga exercises , and much more. The mind does not know the difference between real and fake laughter. So, as the old saying goes , you can fake it til you make it.    When we laugh the brain begins to flood the body with feel good chemicals that boost our moods , immune systems and overall health and well-being. Learn how to have fun and be light , even in a world that can sometimes feel so heavy.
