This little video is endearing – and not just because it features the always-amusing John Cleese as narrator. I’ve heard of India’s “laughter yoga,” but have never actually seen it before, in action.
I figure this stuff has got to be therapeutic – but, if nothing else, it looks like great fun:
I’m especially intrigued by the observation that it doesn’t seem to matter whether the laughter is forced or natural: the therapeutic benefit is the same.
Of course, as the doctor points out in the video, even if participants are forcing their laughter at first, after a few moments of looking at all those goofy faces, only a rock could keep from laughing in response.
Maybe laughter really is the best medicine.

Thanks for this. I laughed a little and will forward your post to my yoga teacher.
Ha Ha Ha
I was particular impress by the work in the prison. Maybe is we got our prison inmates laughing (and the gaurds too) we have some true rehabilitation.
