Laughter Yoga is not a comedy, it is an exercise program. We don’t need to rely on jokes or sense of humor. We do intentional laughter as an exercise to begin with, which turns into real and genuine laughter when practiced in a group as laughter becomes contagious by looking at each other. You can try with your family members. So you can fake it until you make it. Even when practiced alone with willingness the fake laughter become genuine laughter without involving cognitive process.

Scientific studies show that our body can not differentiate between real laughter and intentional laughter, you will get the same health benefits. Physilogically, simulated laughter has similar cardiovascular and respiratory demands as spontaneous laughter.
