Today is World Laughter Day, and there are many different ways in which the day is being celebrated throughout the country, including a unique Laughter Yoga event in Auckland later day. Laughter Yoga combines laughter with yogic breathing exercises to provide workout sessions that include 30 minutes of laughter, which research shows is one of our best defenses against stress. Indeed, Laughter Yoga is not only offered in commercial yoga and fitness centres, but aged care facilities, schools, hospitals, as well as business and government offices throughout the world. Bob Harvey is a certified trainer of Laughter Yoga Leaders. He's with us to explain more about Laughter Yoga and today's event in Auckland.
