I swear every day a new kind of yoga is created by someone. Guess one growing trend is laughter yoga, where you, you know, laugh as part of the practice. "'Kids laugh about 400 times a day, and adults only about 15,' notes
Barb Fisher, a certified laughter yoga leader..." Yes, you can get certified to teach people how to giggle in a healing way, and once again, children hold the answers. Oh, help me see the world through the eyes of a child. Hey, if you aren't a class kind of person, may I suggest you read my stuff, cuz I guarantee to make you laugh as much as your average kid or I'll give you your money back.
I know I'm far too curmudgeonly for my own good, and why I'm picking on yoga with all the injustice in the world is beyond me, but how come we have to take special classes to laugh? And why do we have to sell it by pumpimg up the health benefits of laughing? (Which include, by the way, stress relief, muscle toning, and, um, help with digestion and constipation. See? Just thinking about constipation made me giggle right there.) I swear, soon we'll have to have special crapping yoga to keep us regular and cuddling yoga so the people in our lives feel loved. Anyhow, perhaps these classes are totally awesome and soon when celebrities are asked how they stay so thin, they'll swear it's the laughter yoga that gave 'em the six-pack abs. But we'll all know the truth: It was totally my writing that did it.
