"I laughed so hard my sides ached and then I laughed more. I laughed at myself, I laughed at everyone else, I laughed at the situation. I laughed cause I could. At one point my inner joy burst forth and a maniacal laugh flowed that shocked me. I knew not from whence it came, but it was here now in all its glory shaking me to new heights of bliss and freedom. When the laughter subsided I experienced the sweet deep rest of fulfillment. Laughter and yoga are not contradictory. They are key and lock, essential pieces to the puzzle of being free."

"Laughter is the best medicine. I experience this truth with Laughter yoga. Refreshing, relaxing, hilarious, liberating ... did i say relaxing? The deep rest after the laughing is the height. Make a moment for mirth." - Zaccai Free

"I noticed at this past Monday's Laughter Yoga session that we really don't need jokes to laugh-- jokes are just an excuse to get to the laughter which is already there! This was the second session I had attended in about seven years, and I am SO glad that I went. Towards the end, between laughs, I could truly feel the stress creeping out of my nervous system; it was an amazing and intense sensation, as powerful as anything else I've ever experienced during meditation. When it was all done I knew a HUGE weight had been lifted from me and I have felt light as a feather ever since. Thank you so much, Carla!! - Patrick Jefferson

"Last night was my first ever Laugher Yoga Workshop. I must say, it went above and beyond my expectations. I knew I was coming to experience laughter, but I did not know that I was coming to laugh with some of the most phenomenal people on this planet. During my extreme laughter experience I realized that the smile that has been given to me and the "bubbling spring" of joy that's running through me is the Universe's gift to me and that laughing or experiencing that intense internal joy is my gift to myself. I no longer feel that I need to laugh at someone or even have something funny to laugh at, although many hilarious moments did arise during the workshop. I am so grateful for that experience and I can't wait for the next session! Thanks Carla!" - Ally Way

"Laugh your way into the New Year! Laughter Club is a great way to take a break, meet new people, and meet yourself. Just do it." - Jennifer Irwin

"We laughed and laughed and laughed. Uncontrollably. We did keep our eyes closed but the kids inside us came out to play. That glow in the pit of my stomach rose up and never left. And we laughed and laughed and laughed some more. It was so much fun."  - Steve Cupp, Washington, DC.

 

"I went to a laughter session with Carla,when she began her talk, I was not budging. Believe me, everyone else was laughing their heads off when she began laughing. Then I burst out laughing and laughing and laughing ... I think I let out 6 months of laughter ... I felt like I do after long Kriya. I felt that emotional, physical and mental weightlessness ... that allows me to feel real joy and live in the present moment. Carla, thank you for reminding me that NOTHING is THAT serious. And, that whenever I choose, I am FREE TO LAUGH !!! " - Viviana de Jesus, Amherst, MASS.

 

"They just laughed and laughed and laughed. They put aside rank and position in the company. They were one with laughter."  - Jacqui Sales, Hazmed, INC, CEO, Lanham, MD.
