When Madan Kataria first explored Laughter Yoga, it was with the intention of stress

reduction for his patients (he was working as a cardiologist at the time). Subsequently,

Laughter Yoga evolved as a fun engaging process that undoubtedly reduces stress, with

limitations.

Dave MacQuarrie has known Madan since 2003 and had many discussions

with him concerning what might be further combined with Laughter Yoga so as to

provide a greater impact. Currently Dave is working with Master Trainer Duncan Cook in

exploration of such possibilities. There will be time for questions and discussion.
