Durante el d\u00eda tendemos a dejar que el SNA se haga cargo de la inhalaci\u00f3n y la exhalaci\u00f3n provocando una respiraci\u00f3n plana.\n<strong>Pero, \u00bfqu\u00e9 ocurre si asumimos activamente el control?<\/strong> La Respiraci\u00f3n Focalizada, o Respiraci\u00f3n Controlada, nos permite <strong>influyen en nuestro nivel de estr\u00e9s y mejoran nuestra concentraci\u00f3n<\/strong>.

El Dr. Madan Kataria, m\u00e9dico de Mumbai, fund\u00f3 los clubes de Yoga de la Risa en 1995. Mientras investigaba los beneficios de la risa, le sorprendi\u00f3 la cantidad de estudios que demostraban los profundos beneficios fisiol\u00f3gicos y psicol\u00f3gicos de la risa. CATch Up habl\u00f3 con Marion Madhavi Fritscher, instructora de yoga de la risa, sobre lo que realmente te aporta.\nCharlie Chaplin dijo una vez: \u201cUn d\u00eda sin risa es un d\u00eda perdido\u201d. Seguro que conoc\u00eda los beneficios de la risa para la salud, que los cient\u00edficos llevan a\u00f1os estudiando. Se dice que re\u00edr ayuda a aliviar la depresi\u00f3n y las alergias, mejora el sue\u00f1o y el equilibrio hormonal.\n\u201cEl problema es que, como adultos, ya casi nunca nos re\u00edmos a carcajadas, as\u00ed que tenemos que crear un espacio para la risa\u201d, dice Marion Madhavi Fritscher, que lleva m\u00e1s de diez a\u00f1os organizando sesiones de yoga de la risa en Erlangen (Alemania). \u201cEl Yoga de la Risa nos ayuda a utilizar nuestro cuerpo para crear un estado positivo de conciencia, generando energ\u00eda positiva y buen humor\u201d.\nEn cuanto subimos las comisuras de los labios, nuestro cerebro libera hormonas e inmediatamente nos sentimos mejor. Si dejamos caer los hombros, no pasa ni un minuto y nuestro estado de \u00e1nimo se deteriora. \u201cCon ejercicios sencillos, podemos mejorar nuestra forma de sentirnos e ir paso a paso hacia la risa\u201d, afirma esta madre de tres hijos.\nUna clase suele empezar con t\u00e9cnicas suaves de relajaci\u00f3n para que la gente se concentre en su cuerpo. Los ejercicios de coordinaci\u00f3n, como dejar que los brazos se balanceen hacia delante y hacia atr\u00e1s, ayudan a tomar conciencia de los movimientos corporales. \u201cY luego pasamos a los ejercicios de risa, que pueden parecer extra\u00f1os al principio\u201d, a\u00f1ade Marion.\nHay muchas palmas y c\u00e1nticos, adem\u00e1s de trabajar con sonidos. \u201cUn \u2018eeh\u2019 levanta las comisuras de los labios y tiene un poder edificante, mientras que un \u201coh\u201d tiene el efecto contrario\u201d. Estos ejercicios de risa ayudan a activar las energ\u00edas vitales y facilitan la meditaci\u00f3n de la risa. \u201cLas j\u00f3venes que asisten regularmente a mis clases afirman que tienen s\u00edndrome de abstinencia cuando se pierden una\u201d, dice sonriendo este hombre de 49 a\u00f1os, que tambi\u00e9n ha impartido clases para los empleados de PUMA en Herzogenaurach.\nNo es de extra\u00f1ar si se tiene en cuenta lo que la risa hace al cuerpo: activa todas las regiones del cerebro, se emiten impulsos el\u00e9ctricos, se estimulan unos 400 m\u00fasculos, mejora la digesti\u00f3n, se reducen las hormonas del estr\u00e9s, se liberan endorfinas, se refuerza el sistema inmunitario, se alivian los problemas respiratorios y todo esto dura hasta 24 horas despu\u00e9s de haber re\u00eddo como es debido.\n\u201cY lo que es m\u00e1s importante, re\u00edrse con regularidad mejora el sentido del humor. El humor empieza donde acaba la diversi\u00f3n, y te ayuda a adoptar una perspectiva diferente cuando te encuentras en una situaci\u00f3n dif\u00edcil\u201d.\u201d\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\/es\/sportstyle\/already-laugh-today\/\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\">leer la historia<\/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\/es\/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\/es\/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\/es\/category\/sports\/\" class=\"secondary2\">Deportes<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        <h4>Consiga que sus h\u00e1bitos se mantengan en 5 pasos<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shortExcerpt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        Probablemente ya lo haya experimentado: A menudo empiezas un nuevo plan de salud y forma f\u00edsica con las mejores intenciones.

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.
