Let's F*cking Glow with Erica Reilly · Ep. 54: Big Laugh Energy with Rachel Frank · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

the I kind of just explained it a little bit more like what it is.

So um it was discovered in nineteen ninety five by Dr.

Katari and he was studying all of the health benefits of laughter on the body.

And it really um he was showing that like

you know, 10 to 15 minutes of laughter a day like has profound effects on your body and the body doesn't know the difference between a fake laugh and a real laugh.

So he started a joke club and it was for about two weeks he had a joke club.

It started with five people, it grew to 50 people and they would just meet in the park and tell jokes and he got people to laugh and he was like testing their their bodies like the health benefits of everything.

And then somebody told

um an offensive or a dirty joke or something and some people got really mad and they shut the joke club down and he was just like, oh no, what can we do to keep people um sustained laughter?

Not just like a chuckle here and there, like get them to just laugh.

So he created Laugh Yoga.

And um it just there's about

60 foundational laughter exercises and you start with a warm-up, some deep breathing, some body movement.

Um, I personally add like action like vinyasa yoga to one I teach.

And then there's about 10 to 15 minutes in the middle of it um of like hearty laughter where you kind of do sort of childlike games like movements and like it's very silly, but it gets you to laugh.

And

when you're around other people, um, it's very contagious.

So even if you're you don't think you can laugh, you'll notice when you hear other people laughing, you'll start to smile and eventually you'll end up laughing and and then it ends with a little meditation.

That's kind of my long spiel of what laughter yoga is.
