About Kara
Kara Sherman is a Laughter Ambassador and Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, a professional musician, and a former retail manager. She fell in love with Laughter Yoga while on medical leave from her position as a manager at a chocolate store. Laughter Yoga was instantly appealing, as she was able to do it while seated and healing from plantar fasciitis. Kara found herself doing Laughter Yoga videos every day.
Once Kara returned to the chocolate store, it was clear that the time off was not enough to fully heal her feet and it was imperative for her to resign. Faced with this major life change, Kara was immediately drawn to the idea of becoming a Laughter Professional. She knew in her heart that the incredible joy she feels from Laughter Yoga needs to be shared with the world.
Background in Music
Kara is a ukulele slinging, songwriting, and singing music maker who is passionate about spreading love and joy. She attended The Recording Workshop School of Audio & Music Production in 2004 to learn recording engineering. Soon after, she established a record label and music licensing site, Thinkroot Records, and began releasing music under the pseudonym Kara Square. She became involved in ccMixter, a global music remix community, in 2010 and has since been remixed over 1100 times. She met many incredible musicians to collaborate with through ccMixter. It’s a kind and supportive international community, much like the Laughter Yoga community. Kara has also worked part-time in retail management over the years. Currently, she is an administrator on ccMixter, actively maintains Thinkroot Records, produces custom music, does freelance video projects, and is working to develop and expand Laughter Yoga Together.
Foreground in Laughter Yoga
Kara trained with Tanaz Bamboat to become a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader in November of 2019. She joined the Laughter Yoga USA volunteer team in February of 2020 to help with the site and videos. In March of 2020, Dr. Madan Kataria and Madhuri Kataria, founders of Laughter Yoga International, bestowed her the honor of the Laughter Ambassador award.
Kara is excited to continue sharing and spreading Laughter Yoga through music and session videos. Kara feels a deep connection to Laughter Yoga’s mission of health, happiness and world peace.
