Laughter Yoga for Children

Mon, 29 October 2012

Children can truly benefit from Laughter Yoga. These 5 categories can help you explain how Laughter Yoga is so well suited to helping children as they grow, particularly in educational settings.

1. Promotes Healthy Emotional Development

It is through play that children develop emotional intelligence when they grow up.  However, children today are not physically playing much, they are glued to their mobile phones, television and computer screens.  Laughter Yoga encourages children to physically play and express themselves fully for their emotional development.

2. Increases Academic Performance

By increasing the net supply of oxygen to the body and brain, Laughter Yoga helps children stay focused for peak academic performance.

3. Builds Physical Stamina

As a physical exercise, Laughter Yoga helps develop healthy bodies which have increased physical stamina. This helps kids maintain a healthy weight and play sports effectively. Physical stamina depends upon your breathing capacity.  How much you can physically perform without getting out of breath,  depends upon your lung capacity.  Laughter exercises increase breathing capacity; therefore, increase  stamina for sporting performance.

4. Develops Self-Confidence

By encouraging boisterous self-expression, kids can find their own voice. Their leadership skills and Self-confidence naturally grows. Laughter Yoga exercises reduce inhibitions and shyness leading to more self-confidence in public speaking and other stage performances.

5. Enhances Creativity

Because Laughter Yoga has play at its core, right brain thinking is practiced. This enhances creativity on a number of levels.

I don't think I have the words to put together to describe what I have just experienced... bloody hell I wasn't expecting that!! doesn't even come close!! What a difference a day makes, what a difference a breathwork session makes!! It brings you back to a true sense of self and unclouds your vision... the sky seems bluer, the grass greener and there is a new sense of clarity and focus... if only I had known about this sooner... this stuff should be taught to us in school...what a difference that would make. Pennie thanks again for bringing this to my attention and thanks for making a difference
