This uplifting ukulele song was written to help us take a Laughter Yoga approach to the holidays: focus on the 4 elements of joy!

Please hold strong. We can get through this together. Please use this song as a reminder of the fun times that lie ahead. And hey, physical distance and masks cannot keep you from laughing, dancing, singing, and playing (safely and remotely when necessary, of course)! I wish you very happy holidays and please laugh on!

Anulom Vilom: Laughter Yoga Pranayama Session
Hello Laughter Friends! I’m very happy to share the second video in a new series that explores the deep breathing aspect of Laughter Yoga. Anulom Vilom is also called alternate nostril breathing (and alternate cross breathing). According to Laughter Yoga Founder, Dr. Madan Kataria, it is considered one of the best pranayama exercises because it brings physiological balance to your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
You can practice Anulom Vilom in the morning to start your day balanced, anytime you need to reduce stress and anxiety, and in the evening to relax. Many people, including me, experience a calming effect from Anulom Vilom.
I’m incredibly grateful to Duncan Cook of Laughter Yoga Ontario for inspiring, guiding, and sponsoring this video. Duncan Cook is a Certified Master Trainer of Laughter Yoga and offers training/certification workshops with Carlos Gongora. Thank you, Duncan!
A NEW Laughter Yoga SONG will be released this Friday, November 20th!! I’m super-excited for you to see the lyric video. Until then… have a wonderful day, breathe deeply & LAUGH ON!
