At least 200 people gathered in Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi, to take part in the new take on yoga early on Sunday morning. Ly Thai To Park saw people circling a Christmas tree for stretching and dancing, before some laughter. Some people were dressed in outfits representing Vietnamese society and some were dressed as Santa Claus. They believe that laughter during yoga enhances the experience and emphasizes playfulness between participants.
Laughing yoga originally started in the early 1990’s in Mumbai, India. Interestingly forced laugher usually turns into real and contagious laughter, so why not give it a go for yourself.
