Laughter yago story (the third version)

MEMBERS of a Laughter Club went around Harrow to greet residents with their laughter exercise and funny costume.

The Rayners Lane-based club, one of 13 across the country, celebrated World Laughter Day with the locals on Saturday May 1, aiming to bring them good health, happiness and stress relief.

Harish Chavda, 55, of Rayners Lane, a laughter Yoga therapist who runs the club, said: “Our 30 members went out in Harrow, people were amused by our funny dresses and hats, they approached us and asked what laughter yoga is all about.”

The club's group exercises include mobile phone laughter and no money laughter.

He said: “Everybody lives a stressed life, money is a serious issue for us; we used to laugh when we were young, but we do not laugh now because life have become serious.”

He explains these names reflect people's fast life and problems, “These exercises let people laugh for no reason. Physically helps improve circulation, mentally good for stress relief.”

Mr Chavda also developed a method which helps individual practise laughter at home.

The club meet on the first Saturday of each month at Harrow Quakers Meeting Hall.
