This Sunday Get Ready to Laugh!

This Sunday is World Laughter Day, a special day that can be celebrated by anyone anywhere. All they have to do is laugh aloud and long. It is celebrated annually on the first Sunday of May. This fun event was started by Indian physician, Dr. Madan Kataria.

His quest (поиск) how to make the world a happier place began in 1995 with the introduction of Laughter Yoga, a fitness class where yogis used a combination of breathing exercises and uncontrolled laughter. Though only 5 students attended the first class people gradually learnt about fun exercises. And in a short time, laughter yoga classes opened all over the world. Today there are over 6,000 clubs that offer this kind of yoga in different countries from Australia to Kenya in East Africa. Members get together every day or twice a week, to 'exercise' by simply laughing loudly, waving their hands and making funny faces at each other.

Besides bringing joy, the doctor also believes that the combination of impulsive laughter and breathing helps to stretch (растягивать) muscles and produce the hormones that make us happy. This in turn, helps to overcome stress which is the cause of many diseases.

In 1998 the physician declared the first Sunday of every May 'World Laughter Day'. To make the event even more fun, Dr. Kataria suggested organizing the celebrations in public places so that other people could join in. Today many cities all over the world are doing it. Some even give prizes to participants with the best laughter.
