Editorial:

Greetings!

Watch this one.

1. We're observing a slow yet steady integration of Laughter Yoga in the "official" Yoga world. Local Yoga magazines are talking more and more about Laughter Yoga and Laughter Clubs. The Kripalu Center for Yoga and health (the largest and most recognized yoga training facility in this part of the world - located in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts) has scheduled its 3rd Laughter Yoga workshop on July 02-05 (yes, we're leading it). Our Founder Dr Madan Kataria will officially open the 2009 Yoga Journal Conference in Estes Park, Colorado, on Sept. 24 (over 1500 yogis and yoginis are expected to attend).
2. We're noticing an increase in the applications of Laughter Yoga in medical settings and this is very heart warming (MD Anderson in Houston, the leading cancer center in the nation, leads the way!)

The Times They Are A Changing, indeed.
We're now officiallly on the map. Prepare for exponential growth.

May you thrive.
