What is Laughter Yoga? A concept first created in 1995 by Madan Kataria, a physician from India, Laughter Yoga has been gaining in popularity in recent years. According to a recent New Yorker article, estimates of the number of people who regularly engage in Laughter Yoga are as high as 250,000, but it is nearly impossible to obtain precise figures. Dr. Kataria estimates that there are 6,000 Laughter Clubs in India alone. Laughter Yoga is not a physical practice in the way that most people think of yoga in the Western world. There is no stretching or physical exertion involved.
