Many students at the University of Florida in US are enrolling for yoga classes. Yoga is becoming one of the popular ways to exercise. However, when yoga positions are done incorrectly, it can lead to students getti
ng injured.
Stacy Tasman, a sophomore at UF, takes yoga class twice a week. She said, “Our instructor teaches us how we can strengthen our muscles through yoga to prevent injuries.”
Priel Schmalbach, a power yoga fitness instructor at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, said, "Physically, yoga will relax tension from your muscles and lubricate your joints so they move freely. When your body is loose, you feel free." He has never known anyone to incur an injury in yoga that required him or her to stop practicing it. Schmalbach explains, “A big cause of injuries I see is caused by competitiveness.” He advises yoga practitioners to, “Listen to your body. If it says stop, stop. Find your comfortable place.”

CANADA - Laughter yoga originated in India in 1995. It is the brainchild of medical doctor Madan Kataria. Laughter yoga combines yogic breathing exercises with belly laughs. With this type of yoga, participants do s
imulated laughter wherein they breathe and fake laughter.
Oceana Hall, a certified laughter yoga teacher, said, recent studies showed that laughter strengthens the body’s immune response and washes away stress hormones. The idea with simulated laughter is that it sparks contagion. The sound of someone else laughing makes us laugh also. You do not laugh at other people but you laugh with them. Laughter yoga is a shared and communal experience.
Hall added that laughter yoga seems to penetrate into one’s true, feeling nature. The release of laughter also allows for the release of sadness.
