Photos from World Laughter Days – First Sunday in May annually

On the first Sunday in May each year, people all around the world get together to laugh for World Peace.

World Laughter Day on 1 May 2022 in Mary Stevens Park. Such a treat to be ‘in-person’ again:

World Laughter Day fell on 3 May 2020 this year and due to the pandemic of COVID 19 around the World ‘in person’ Laughter Yoga sessions have been prohibited. This has led to an influx of creativity with many sessions now taking place through Zoom sessions. Here is our session for Stourbridge and below that is a video of ‘pass the mobile phone laughter’:

: Aloha Laughter

: Red Traffic Light Laughter

: Cow Milking Laughter

: Ministry of Silly Walks Laughter

: Infinity Laughter (similar to 1 Metre laugh)

: Laughter Meditation (Free-flow Laughter)
