Dr. Madan Kataria, ein Arzt aus Mumbai, gr\u00fcndete 1995 Lachyoga-Clubs. Als er \u00fcber die Vorteile des Lachens recherchierte, war er erstaunt \u00fcber die zahlreichen Studien, die die tiefgreifenden physiologischen und psychologischen Vorteile des Lachens belegen. CATch Up sprach mit der Lachyoga-Trainerin Marion Madhavi Fritscher dar\u00fcber, was das Lachen wirklich mit uns macht.\nCharlie Chaplin hat einmal gesagt: \"Ein Tag ohne Lachen ist ein vergeudeter Tag.\" Er muss um die gesundheitlichen Vorteile des Lachens gewusst haben, die Wissenschaftler seit Jahren erforschen. Lachen soll Depressionen und Allergien lindern, den Schlaf und das hormonelle Gleichgewicht verbessern.\n\"Das Problem ist, dass wir uns als Erwachsene nur noch selten ein herzhaftes Bauchlachen g\u00f6nnen, also m\u00fcssen wir Raum f\u00fcr das Lachen schaffen\", sagt Marion Madhavi Fritscher, die seit mehr als zehn Jahren Lachyoga-Sitzungen in Erlangen, Deutschland, leitet. \"Lachyoga hilft uns, unseren K\u00f6rper zu nutzen, um einen positiven Bewusstseinszustand zu schaffen, der positive Energie und gute Laune erzeugt.\"\nSobald die Mundwinkel nach oben gehen, sch\u00fcttet unser Gehirn Hormone aus und wir f\u00fchlen uns sofort besser. Wenn wir die Schultern sinken lassen, dauert es keine Minute und unsere Stimmung verschlechtert sich. \"Mit einfachen \u00dcbungen k\u00f6nnen wir unser Gef\u00fchl verbessern und uns Schritt f\u00fcr Schritt in das Lachen hineinversetzen\", erkl\u00e4rt die dreifache Mutter.\nEin Kurs beginnt in der Regel mit sanften Entspannungstechniken, um die Menschen dazu zu bringen, sich auf ihren K\u00f6rper zu konzentrieren. Koordinations\u00fcbungen wie das Hin- und Herschwingen der Arme helfen, sich der K\u00f6rperbewegungen bewusst zu werden. \"Und dann gehen wir zu Lach\u00fcbungen \u00fcber, was zun\u00e4chst seltsam erscheinen kann\", f\u00fcgt Marion hinzu.\nEs wird viel geklatscht und gesungen, und es wird mit Ger\u00e4uschen gearbeitet. \"Ein 'eeh' hebt die Mundwinkel und hat eine erhebende Kraft, w\u00e4hrend ein 'oh' den gegenteiligen Effekt hat. Diese Lach\u00fcbungen helfen, die Lebensenergien zu aktivieren und erleichtern den Einstieg in die Lachmeditation. \"Die jungen Damen, die regelm\u00e4\u00dfig zu meinen Kursen kommen, behaupten, dass sie Entzugserscheinungen haben, wenn sie einen Kurs verpassen\", sagt der 49-J\u00e4hrige, der in Herzogenaurach auch Kurse f\u00fcr PUMA-Mitarbeiter anbietet, schmunzelnd.\nKein Wunder, wenn man bedenkt, was Lachen mit dem K\u00f6rper macht: Alle Hirnregionen werden aktiviert, elektrische Impulse ausgesendet, rund 400 Muskeln stimuliert, die Verdauung verbessert, Stresshormone abgebaut, Endorphine ausgesch\u00fcttet, das Immunsystem gest\u00e4rkt, Atemprobleme gelindert - und das alles bis zu 24 Stunden nach einem ordentlichen Lachen.\n\"Am wichtigsten ist, dass regelm\u00e4\u00dfiges Lachen den Sinn f\u00fcr Humor verbessert. Humor f\u00e4ngt dort an, wo der Spa\u00df aufh\u00f6rt, und hilft Ihnen, in schwierigen Situationen eine andere Perspektive einzunehmen.\"\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"buttonSec articleslider\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/de\/sportstyle\/already-laugh-today\/\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\">Story lesen<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"hoverzooma  scrollAnim\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/de\/sportstyle\/already-laugh-today\/\" \n\t\t\t\t\t    \n\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"height:200px;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t\t\t\t\t    aspect-ratio:2\t\t\t\t\t    ;\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t    class=\"hoverZoom\"\n\t\t\t\t\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/LaughToday_H.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t\t\t\t\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t    <div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t<br\/>\n\t\t\t<div style=\"display:grid;grid-template-rows: auto auto auto;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"teaser3inner\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hideinprint\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"rowArticleItem articleTeaser\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"hoverzooma teaserVertImg scrollAnim\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/de\/sports\/make-habits-stick-5-steps\/\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    id=\"4590\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"height:200px;width:200px;;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    aspect-ratio:1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    ;\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    class=\"hoverZoom\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/HP_H.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"innerpadd\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/de\/category\/sports\/\" class=\"secondary2\">Sport<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        <h4>In 5 Schritten zu dauerhaften Gewohnheiten<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shortExcerpt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        Wahrscheinlich haben Sie das selbst schon erlebt: Oft beginnt man einen neuen Gesundheits- und Fitnessplan mit den besten Vors\u00e4tzen.

This moment of awareness puts mind and body at ease immediately. As it is a common relaxation technique used for meditation and yoga, the effects speak for themselves: \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;A decrease in the risk of heart diseases and high blood-pressure\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; as well as improvement of the immune system and digestion.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;WHY\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Many people find meditation hard to practice \\u0026ndash; Focused Breathing is basically the light version.

Time well spent to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;slow down your daily rush\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and let your thoughts soar by following these two simple steps:\\nBefore you start: close your eyes, sit up on the edge of a chair, straighten your spine and pull back your shoulders.
