Laughing our Way to Happiness: The ABC Laughter Team Story!

 In 2006, Shirin Panjwani realized the importance of Hasya Yoga and decided to take the initiative to start laughing yoga in Manipal. She believed that laughter was the best medicine and wanted to spread the benefits of laughter yoga to others. To inaugurate the laughter yoga club, Dr. Padma Rao was invited to lead the first session at Manipal.

The laughter yoga club was named ABC Laughter Team and has been a source of joy and laughter for its members ever since. The club meets every morning at 6 am, at the west of Ajay Arcade Open Grounds. The laughter session goes on for an hour, ending at 7 am. The aim of the club is to spread joy and laughter, promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle.

The founder of the club, Mrs. Shirin Panjwani, had a vision to create a space where people could come together and laugh, regardless of their age, gender or background. She believed that laughter had the power to heal, energize and connect people, and that is exactly what the ABC Laughter Team has been doing for the past decade.



The club has been successful in promoting a positive outlook and reducing stress levels among its members. By focusing on the present moment and finding joy in the little things, the club has helped its members live happier, more fulfilling lives.
