<h2>A Celebration of Connection Through Laughter</h2>
Who has time to stress when you’re busy laughing? Every year, thousands around the globe gather to celebrate World Laughter Day, created in 1998 by Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of the internationally acclaimed Laughter Yoga movement. Practiced in more than 120 countries, Laughter Yoga combines playful laughter exercises with deep yogic breathing — resulting in increased joy, connection, and stress relief.
Laughter Yoga is non political and non religious.&nbsp;
This year’s celebration will highlight laughter’s power to bring people together as a force for global unity and peace, reminding us that joy is contagious - and free!

Philadelphia’s First Citizen, Benjamin Franklin, declared over 250 years ago: “Those who laugh often, never grow old”; and it has been known for centuries that “Laughter is the best medicine.”
