Acclaim for the Practice of Laughter Yoga
 
Laughter yoga is a perfect way to laugh and get exercise at the same time. It approaches laughter as a body exercise so it's easy to laugh even if you're depressed or in a bad mood. . . . I've tried it, and it works. Oprah Winfrey
 
I can't think of any other ­mind-body technique that has caught on this way. I told [the] American Senate Committee during a hearing about healthcare reform that laughter yoga could help lower American healthcare costs.   Andrew Weil, M.D.
 
Laughter yoga exemplifies a form of 'right-brain thinking' that managers should promote.   Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of A Whole New Mind
 
Laughter connects you with people. It's almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you're just howling with laughter. Laughter is a force for democracy. John Cleese, after visiting a laughter club in Mumbai during the filming of BBC's TV series The Human Face
 
An ideal tool for complete body-mind wellness . . . Laughter increases the supply of oxygen to body tissues, boosts immunity, relieves pain, lowers stress, and even helps protect against heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, migraines, and cancer. It is a powerful technique: safe, easy, and a lot of fun. Andrew Weil, M.D., from the Foreword
