The Comedian vs Laughter Yoga


By Sunny Turner
Comedians have their place.. there’s often a work “joker” – they’re fabulous in-house comedians.
Or there are very popular comedians. I clicked to see how long I would have to wait to purchase tickets to see a famous comedian – when the number 426,574 flashed up on the screen, the thought of waiting all day to be told the tickets had sold out made me quickly press the ESC button.
Within seconds, I was relieved! I mean, why would I or anyone else want to rely on comedy?
Alright, yes, the comedian is impressive, but that laughter will fill your boots for the evening at short bursts for a few seconds – and then WHAT???? Where do you go for laughter for the rest of the week/month/year?
But maybe, just maybe, we can’t rely on these comedians in our lives to uplift us. Those short bursts of giggles definitely won’t give us all the health benefits that Laughter Yoga does.
When we practice hearty laughter (Laughter Yoga) as an intentional exercise, the entertainment and amusement focus disappears – comedians aren’t necessary.
5 reasons why Laughter Yoga wins over comedians and jokes.
- If we laugh at a joke, it’s not nearly long enough to melt stress, a few seconds … Longer session of hearty Laughter Yoga melts stress.
- The jokes may not be funny – you may not even laugh. You may feel unhappy, and it can be a really hard effort to even think about understanding the joke … Laughter can be started with warm-up exercises and prolonged even when you aren’t happy.
- It’s off and on – short, tiny bursts … Not prolonged for 15-20 minutes as in Laughter Yoga
- The jokes could be harmful and offensive, instead of being free of negativity and unconditional.
- Pure entertainment and amusement vs Laughter as an exercise, Yogic style breathing, and masses of health benefits.
Lastly, you could save yourself £150 on a one-night stand… and invest it in a fabulous uplifting wellbeing session for 40 people!
