BREATHE

During inhalation, we breathe in 500 to 700 ml of air and almost the same amount is exhaled. This is called a Tidal Volume. But there is a huge volume of residual air in our lungs that amounts to almost 2500 to 2800 ml. This residual air is mostly stale and has more carbon dioxide.
Yoga emphasizes that the secret of good health lies in longer exhalation. Exhalation should be longer than inhalation thereby ridding some of the residual air from the lungs and allowing more fresh air and oxygen for the next breathing cycle. This can be done effectively by contracting the abdominal muscles and pushing the diaphragm outwards. Combine this with laughing and it becomes the easiest and the best possible way to regularize breathing, and enhance the supply of oxygen.

Sushil Bhatia, CEO JMD Manufacturing, Massachusetts (Bhatia is the creator of the Glue Stic and other products.) "When you empty your mind of mental clutter through laughter yoga you think more clearly, better retain information and solve problems more creatively."

"I notice that when I attend a Laughter Yoga session it becomes easier in that week to laugh at things that would otherwise be stressful and overwhelming. Simply, it helps me laugh." - a graduate student

"Laughter Yoga has brought so much fun to my life with my children. Every time I start to chant the "ha, ha, ho, ho, ho.", they can't help but start to laugh and we launch into the best deep laughter that is so relaxing and stress relieving. It feels great."  - a mother
