Gain a deeper understanding of the philosophies behind Laughter Yoga: Laughter Yoga did not originate in a vacuum. The truths it conveys are ancient and can be partly summarized by the WORRY approach to stress management:

• Why think of the worst? Focus on the best possible outcome. 80/20 rule.
• Be Optimistic, not obsessed.
• Don’t Regret the past. Learn from it.
• Rest less: don’t stop until you have reached your goal.
• Don’t say Yes to worry. Yoke yourself to something higher than yourself.
