Laughter Yoga in the Workplace
People are facing tremendous stress and burnout in the workplace. Even highly talented and skilled people cannot perform well if they are stressed. Though there are many methods to reduce the effects of stress, Laughter Yoga is cost-effective and less time-consuming than most approaches to employee wellness.
Laughter Yoga is a unique, fun easy, yet powerful form of exercise that promotes wellness and decreases the negative effects of stress on the body and mind. It involves breathing, movement, and of course laughter. It can be adapted to most physical limitations. There are no postures or skills to learn and no special yoga clothes or equipment is required. That makes it even easier to bring to the workplace.
Besides the typical benefits of Laughter Yoga, specific benefits for the workplace include:
Optimizes Performance: The increased levels of oxygen and feel-good chemicals brought on by Laughter Yoga can improve performance.
Improves Communication: Developing the art of smiling and eye contact, which is prominent in Laughter Yoga, is the most effective way of communicating. Smiling people generate better business, especially in the fields of customer service, marketing, hospitality, and service industries.
Increases Innovation and Creativity: Youth-like playfulness cultivated by Laughter Yoga stimulates right brain activity which is the seat of creativity generating new ideas and insights about workplace issues.
Builds teamwork: Laughter Yoga connects people and breaks hierarchies. It helps people develop a positive attitude and improves communication skills.
