Laughter is the best medicine. One Indian doctor believes this so strongly that he developed a club devoted to laughter. Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician from Mumbai, has created a social club, which he calls Laughter Yoga. The idea is simple—get together with other people and laugh for your health. To prevent chest and stomach pain caused from laughing too much, Laughter Yoga involves deep-breathing techniques used in yoga.
The groups do not use jokes or funny things to make people laugh. Instead, a laughter coach begins the laughing and spreads it by using different techniques like clapping, movement, and talking gibberish. The members are encouraged to develop childlike playfulness so that they can laugh without any reason.

歡笑是最好的藥方。一位印度醫師對這點深感認同，因此便創辦一個致力於令人歡笑的俱樂部。馬丹•卡塔利這位來自孟買的內科醫師創立了這個他稱之為愛笑瑜珈的社交俱樂部。其背後的發想很簡單，就是和其他人共聚一堂，為自己的健康好好大笑一場。為了預防因為笑得太過頭而產生的胸痛及胃痛，愛笑瑜珈遂將瑜珈中所使用的深層呼吸技巧納入其中。
這個團體不用笑話或是趣事來引人發笑。相反地，是由一位「笑練」開始「起笑」，然後藉用像是拍手、做動作及胡言亂語等不同技巧來把笑聲傳染給大家。成員們會受到鼓勵來發展出如孩童般嬉鬧的心境，如此一來他們不需任何理由就可以盡情歡笑。
