Laughter Yoga was created by a medical doctor in India in 1995. It works on the concept that the mind can’t tell the difference between real and simulated laughter so all we have to do is put the body into a physical state of laughter and then the mind will follow.
Once this happens the body releases a cocktail of drugs that help cure, as well as heal a variety of conditions Come and hear the remarkable story of Merv Neal CEO of Laughter Yoga Australia who believes he was cured of a terminal illness through the effects of this process.
