Seated Laughter Yoga Session: 13 Minutes Punching Laughter
👋🏼Hello!
I’m happy to present the first video from a brand new series featuring Seated Laughter Yoga Sessions. When I started doing Laughter Yoga, I had a severe case of plantar fasciitis, which forced me to stay off of my feet for months. I still wanted to exercise and the accessibility of Laughter Yoga was immediately appealing. I was able to simultaneously heal my body and mind.
And soooooo… this series is for everyone who needs that seated option. It’s perfectly accessible to all physical abilities!
I hope you enjoy this series! On Friday, I’ll share the matching Quick version of this session with no instructions and all action.
Laugh on, friends!
New Song: Laughter Yoga Healing
👋🏼Hello! With dreamy and heartfelt 50s doo-wop rock instrumentation, “Laughter Yoga Healing” offers tender encouragement to practice Laughter Yoga when life is hard. Laughter and deep breathing help decrease stress and build resiliency, which improves a person’s ability to remain calm through life’s challenges.
You can have this song for FREE when you sign-up for the Laugh Pact List (you’ll also get “4 Steps of Laughter Yoga” and “Whole Heart Here” + lyric sheets).
“Laughter Yoga Healing” is available in all major digital music stores. I hope you enjoy! LAUGH ON!

Laughter Ambassador Award
A really cool thing happened… it took me by complete surprise… and I couldn’t be more thrilled…
Dr. Madan Kataria & Madhuri Kataria of Laughter Yoga International honored me with the Laughter Ambassador award. How cool is that?! Honestly, I feel so incredibly proud of that title… Laughter Ambassador. Haha!
Thank you to my wife, Katie, for supporting and encouraging my Laughter Yoga adventure. Thank you to our cat, Murmur, for putting up with my noise.
Thank you to my family and especially my mom for teaching me how to freely laugh. My mom would be proud and that makes me smile ear to ear. She was a very funny woman with an exceptional sense of humor and a splendidly engaging laugh.
Thank you to everyone in the Laughter Yoga community who has inspired me and shared kind, supportive words. And thank you to Dr. Kataria & Madhuri for this honor and for creating Laughter Yoga in the first place. I am so grateful and delighted. I look forward to continue sharing the JOY of Laughter Yoga far and wide.

Laughter Yoga Session: 13 Minutes Bubble Breath & Laughter
👋🏼Hello! Tuesday is here and with it brings a NEW full & complete Laughter Yoga session! I had a LOT of fun with this one…
- First, it was warm enough to do it outside. YAY! How nice to feel the sun shining down!
- Second, I included an exercise from the wonderful Laughter Yoga Master Trainers from India: Jagat Singh Bisht & Radhika Bisht of LifeSkills. They’re a big inspiration to me, so this is my way of paying homage.
- Third, when I was doing post-production, I got a little extra creative… let’s call it FLAIR! I hope you like!
