Dr. Madan Kataria
Founder Laughter Yoga Movement
Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from Mumbai, India popularly known as the 'Guru of Giggling' (London Times), is the founder of Laughter Yoga Clubs movement started in 1995. While researching the benefits of laughter, he was amazed by the number of studies showing profound physiological and psychological benefits of laughter. He decided to find a way to deliver these benefits to his patients and other people. The result is Laughter Yoga, a unique exercise routine that combines group laughter exercises with yoga breathing which allows anyone to laugh without using jokes, humor or comedies. Started with just with just five people in a public park in Mumbai in 1995, it has grown into a worldwide movement of more than 6000 Laughter Yoga clubs in over 60 countries.
Spreading rapidly in USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, South East Asia, China and Africa, this new concept has been widely covered by prestigious publications like the TIME magazine, National Geographic, and the Wall Street Journal and featured on CNN, BBC, US networks and the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Dr. Kataria is a keynote, motivational and inspirational speaker for companies, corporations and organizations all over the world. He has done seminars and workshops with UBS and Emirates Bank, IBM, Hewlett Packard, YPO (Young President Association), SAS and Emirates Airlines, Volvo Automobiles, Glaxo Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Manpower and Social Welfare, Singapore Government, Western Australian Parliament, Dubai (UAE), HRD Congress Malaysia, the Dubai Wellbeing Show. It also includes Management Associations in Australia, Malaysia, Pakistan and India.
He is also a corporate consultant for holistic health, stress management, teambuilding, leadership, peak performance and communication skills to national and multinational corporations in India, USA, Canada, Europe, Switzerland, Australia, Singapore and Dubai.
A popular speaker, Dr. Kataria is featured frequently on television and radio worldwide and is associated with a number of research projects to measure the benefits of laughter. Recent studies in the USA and Bangalore, India using unconditional laughter have positively confirmed these benefits. This scientific confirmation of what has been observed in thousands of laughter groups marks a turning point in the acceptance of Laughter Yoga in business world and in schools, hospitals, old age centers and other areas.

I laughed hard by just looking at all those sceptical faces in the beginning ;)

[@Viji2301Radha]

***** Me too! They all looked terribly disapproving!!

[@phyllisgermany2563]

I'm a 77 year old Floridian who has been a member of a LY club for more than a year. It is amazing how much this has and does help me to be happier as I age. One might think it is very silly, but it is profound what happens to my body, mind, spirit and soul. I love our leader who lets us more or less wild ones be childlike and ridiculous acting. We are encouraged to be who we are with no expectations of how to be other than joyous, even as we go through the difficulties of life. This is definitely oneof the most successful "tools" I have in my collection of what really works.

Thank you for this great snapshot of laughter yoga and the way its changing the world !

[@jimcrich]

This is like - Happiness is a choice - when happiness is acquired for NO particular reason. I am happy - but nothing is "causing" it. So spontaneous laughter is the same - I don't NEED a reason to laugh or be happy - I just decide to have or do it! It's sad how so many cultures fear, hate or do not trust laughter and happiness and suppress or block them out of FEAR! You can see this in many cultures, especially some European societies where keeping a straight face is MANDATORY!! Oh well..............

[@kennywatson4604]

It is so freeing to be able to express your feelings but there have been this almost unconscious tendency towards fear, impatience and therefore ignorance throughout history. Some of the reasons for it may be that these people have doubted their own harmlessness; they've doubted correctness of definitions and doubted if the society will give back; all for good reasons. Their perceptions have fallen short of realizing they are not living for themselves merely to survive; perhaps because in the past surviving was achievement enough for your long life. These doubts has lead to more sociological understanding. The unknown is usually connected with fear; but fear is a trigger to lead you to work rigorously to understand. It's not a signal showing you what to isolate yourself from. Fear and hatred stem from feeling insecure which has a long mark in humans' lives due to many biological and other reasons. I think a person whose life purpose is learning and helping the entire community as a member of it, is not going to benefit from doubting the community's benevolence every once in a while. I feel confident that we are leaving behind much of these fear and hatred in the long-run and I hope this process gets shorter. Some people's neurological system has been conditioned with fear repeatedly for years. It takes years for them to change that even when they will. You made me more happy. Thanks for your comment. Love and peace.

'Thrilled to see I was "in" this! 02:11, 02:22 - 'proud to provide the "exemplary" laugh! (Jeffrey Briar ~ The Laughter Yoga Institute) Noteworthy: 1. Less than 2 minutes from the start, he stopped talking and showed the VIDEO. 2. The PowerPoint slides were mostly IMAGES - very little text. Pictures grab us emotionally... even the "charts" were most impressive because they had lines of color - which got bigger. 3. Experience (stand up and "Do") began less than 10 minutes from the start.

[@Jack.333]
