Hasya = laughter
I've heard that laughter is the best medicine.
Hasya Yoga combines deep, controlled breathing and stretches with various types of forced laughter. Different types of laughter are used with deep breathing and stretching exercises.
Mada Kataria is the author of 'Laugh for No Reason' and the founder of Laughter Clubs International. "Laughter in laughter clubs is the purest laughter because it is not for any reason. It is not directed at others but we learn to laugh at ourselves." It creates a more positive outlook on life, as well as improved lung capacity and abdominal tone.

I don't know about you, but when I laugh at myself for something, it is the best type of laugh in my world !! I love to laugh at myself for silly things.

POSE ~ Standing Forward Bend - Uttanasana
UTTANASANA (oot-tan-as-ahna)
ut = intense
tan = to stretch or extend
Another one of my favourite poses. You can relax and surrender to the stretch. Just fold yourself over your hips and let your upper body go limp. Relax your head and neck and let your hanging parts flow like a waterfall over your legs. If you have to bend your knees then please do. As you do this pose more frequently, you will find you can straighten your legs and fall deeper into the pose. It is a great stretch and I always feel wonderful after doing this pose.
