In March 1995, DR. MADAN KATARIA, a medical doctor in Mumbai, India, decided to write an article called ‘Laughter - The Best Medicine’ for a medical journal. Through his research he discovered a large number of modern scientific studies that described in great length the many proven benefits of laughter on the human mind and body. In particular, Dr. Kataria was impressed by Norman Cousins' book ‘Anatomy of an Illness’ and the research work by Dr. Berk.
Profoundly inspired and being a man of action rather than a academic, Dr. Kataria immediately decided to field-test the impact of laughter on himself and others.

Walking in the park in Mumbai, New York, California, London, Frankfurt, Rome, Auckland, Sydney, Taipei or Beijing? Don't be surprised to hear chants of Ho Ho - Ha Ha Ha from groups of people doing Laughter Yoga. Are they getting hooked on happiness?
Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea – simple and profound. An exercise routine, it is fast sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout. It is the brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, an Indian physician from Mumbai who started the first laughter club in a park on 13th March 1995, with just 5 people. Today, it has become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000 social laughter clubs in 60 countries like India, USA, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Singapore, Malaysia, Iran, Dubai, Bahrain, Israel, Tunisia, Jordan, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, South Africa, Indonesia, Taiwan, Vietnam and many more.
