  13.Swinging Laughter (搖擺笑聲) Topic: 13.Swinging Laughter Yoga class notes: 40 Foundation Exercises I first encountered "Laughter Yoga" through an online course recommended by a friend. To be honest, I felt a bit strange at first – laughing silly at the screen, could that really have any effect? But with a try-it-and-see attitude, I joined in. In the course, the teacher led us in "Swinging Laughter." Even though it was online, everyone tried to simulate a large circle, imagining holding hands. The teacher demonstrated first, instructing us to make the long vowel sound "Ae...Ae...Aeeeee....." and then slowly move forward towards the screen, as if approaching the center of the circle. The first time I did it, I felt a bit inhibited, my voice was soft, and my movements were stiff. But watching the other students on the screen, everyone was laughing happily, and I gradually relaxed. Following the teacher's guidance, we also tried different vowel sounds lik...

12. Magic Fingers Laughter (奇妙手指笑聲) Topic: 12. Magic Fingers Laughter Yoga class notes: 40 Foundation Exercises One day in Laughter Yoga class, I learned a movement called "Magic Laughter." The teacher showed us to hold up both index fingers, and while saying "Aaaay," move the two fingers together and apart three times. On the third time, turn one hand into a "peace" sign while laughing. Then do it again to make two "peace" signs! Finally, extend four fingers on both hands for the last repetition. When doing this movement, I suddenly felt very familiar, as if I had seen a similar movement somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where. I didn't think this movement was childish at all, but found it very interesting and immediately liked it. While doing it, my mood also became cheerful, and I really felt very happy! It felt like going back to childhood, carefree. This "Magic Laughter" really has magic, making me laugh uncontrolla...

  11. Hot Soup Laughter (熱湯笑聲) 11. Hot Soup Laughter One day in an online laughter yoga class, I learned a funny exercise called "Hot Soup Laughter." The teacher said to imagine you just drank a bowl of very hot and spicy soup, so hot that you stick out your tongue. I followed along, sticking out my tongue and shaking my wrists up and down like I was trying to cool my tongue. At first, I felt a little shy, but seeing the other students seriously "cooling" their tongues made me feel more relaxed. The amazing thing was, as I shook my hands and laughed "Ha! Ha! Ha!", I really felt like I had been burned by something spicy. That hot and funny feeling made me laugh louder and louder. This exercise made me realize that laughing can be so simple.

09. Lion Laughter (森林之王的笑聲)

  09. Lion Laughter (森林之王的笑聲) 09. Lion Laughter Yoga class notes: 40 Foundation Exercises, This particular laughter has been derived from a yogic posture known as Simha Mudra (lion posture). Stick your tongue out fully, while keeping your mouth wide open. Stretch both your hands like the paws of a lion, roar loudly and laugh from the belly. At first, trying "lion laughter" felt really strange to me. Opening my mouth wide, sticking out my tongue, and making lion-like hand gestures while roaring — I thought it looked silly and unnatural. At that time, I couldn’t even stick my tongue out for long, let alone laugh. But after a few classes, I started to relax more. I realized no one was really watching me closely. Everyone else was just there to enjoy themselves. Slowly, I got better at sticking my tongue out, using the lion hands, and laughing with more energy. What touched me most was when the teacher mentioned something Dr. Kataria once said: “"Don't overthink it, be l...
