"I highly recommend Laff-a-Rama (the NYC Laughter
Workout) to anyone who cares about feeling good and wants to experience more joy. I've always known that laughter
was the best medicine.But I had no idea how much fun Marilyn Galfin's class would be. Play and laughter are absolute
necessities, not frivolous, and we all need to make more time for them in life. Marilyn is an energetic, inspiring
and entertaining teacher. I felt my muscles relax and stress leave my body. I was re-energized and left feeling
absolutely wonderful. The feeling stayed with me for days. For anyone always on the run, Laff-a-Rama is a great
one-hour workout for the body, mind and spirit."A must for any stressed New Yorker."

Dr. Madan Kataria of
India has noticed the negative effects of stress and pollution on many of his patients.
He also noticed that many of them seemed to do better and feel better after a bout of laughter... |
WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT LAUGHTER CLUBS?
"At the workshop I had a wonderful
time and learned that laughter is not only healthy and freeing but also easy to do on the spot without needing
a joke or other outside sources. I now add a snicker or hearty laughter to my day whenever I realize I need a boost
or just feel I am too serious. I didn't believe it could work, but it does!" |

that day. The bottom line was raised as was the happiness level of the employees. Your company will be Laughing

effects.

incorporate fun
and laughter in the workplace
including Ben & Jerry's and Google?
Corporations are learning that a company that has fun:
- has increased job satisfaction which lowers turnover
rate
- has increased productivity,efficiency,clarity
and focus
- raises the bottom line, strengthens bonds &
exercises teamwork
- has less workers out sick, has an increased positive
attitude.
Class Includes:
- simple grounding exercise using relaxation &
breathing techniques
- simple( physical) warm-up exercises using techniques
from yoga, dance and mime
- basic improv games based on tv shows like Whose
Line Is It Anyway and movement games/and or childhood games
- simulated laughter (meaning no jokes or outside
stimuli is used to make people laugh-it is self generated) based on Laughing Yoga that was created by Dr. Madan Kataria
