Kapalabhati: Laughter Yoga Pranayama Session
👋 Hello Laughter Friends! I’m very happy to share the first video in a new series that explores the deep breathing aspect of Laughter Yoga. Kapalbhati is a cleansing and energizing pranayama exercise. It improves digestion, helps remove excess belly fat, and cleans and strengthens the lungs. This video utilizes the methods learned from Dr. Madan Kataria, as well as the Department of Yoga Institute of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences Bangalore.
A huge round of Gratitude Laughter goes out 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!
Our next collaboration for this series is Anulom Vilom and it is coming soon… I hope you enjoy this deep breathing practice. Have a wonderful day, breath deeply, and laugh on! 😄💗🙏
Embrace Childlike Playfulness This Halloween
Halloween is the perfect time to embrace childlike playfulness, which is one of my favorite aspects of Laughter Yoga. Childlike playfulness helps make it easier to laugh, condition ourselves to be more joyful, and creates a positive, resilient mental state. Let’s find our inner child and do these Halloween Laughter Yoga exercises together!
I hope you enjoy this Take 5 Halloween Laughter Yoga Session. Here’s a playlist with all three Halloween sessions.
Happy Halloween and laugh on!
Epic Halloween Laughter Yoga Session
Please share with your Halloween-loving Laughter Yoga friends. Thank you!Laugh Pact List: Trick-Or-Treat?
👋 Hello Laugh Pact Pals!
I LOVE Halloween. I also LOVE how childlike playfulness is encouraged in Laughter Yoga. So I suppose it’s no wonder why this Robert Brault quote spoke to me. Does it speak to you?
I challenge you to embrace childlike playfulness and look for the “brightly-lit front porch” this Halloween month. To help make it easy, check out the Halloween Laugh Along video I released last week. You can also listen to the audio on all digital music sites (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.). And next week I’ll be sharing a Halloween-themed Laughter Yoga Session and a Take 5 Session. I guarantee that they will be far more silly than spooky.
I hope you enjoy today’s Laugh Pact List. There are upcoming trainings to check out, podcasts to hear, articles to read, and session videos to get you laughing. Lots of treats are in store for those who choose to partake.
Happy Halloween & LAUGH ON!

Storytime & Laughter Meditation: Spider Monkey
👋🏼 Hello Laughter Lovers!
This is a story about a little spider monkey. It’s also a story about friendship, love, grief, and laughter. The story concludes with a Laughter Meditation in honor of Godfrey and whoever you would like to honor.
This video is more candid and personal than usual. It makes me feel oddly vulnerable to share it. I debated. Nevertheless, I’m going for it. Here’s a different side of me. I hope you like it.
