Laughter Clubs

What is a Laughter Club?

A Laughter Club is informal groups of people who get together to laugh as a form of exercise. They are fully independent, not-for-profit, non-political, non-religious and non competitive community-based associations of diverse people who choose to be happy. Everyone is welcome. Each club defines its own meeting frequency.

There are more than 6,000 Laughter Clubs in over 70 countries around the world, which offer fun for people of all ages when they take part in a thirty minute Laughter Yoga session. In some countries people begin each day with laughter, attending their local Laughter Yoga Club.
