In every corner of Manipal, you’ll find health enthusiasts—but none quite like our ABC Laughing Club members. These are not just your average morning walkers. No, sir. These are folks who not only believe in laughing away their worries but also in outsmarting ageing, one hair strand at a time.
Some of our members are considered the wellness whisperers of our town. From whipping up health-focused recipes to brewing herbal hair oils, they have tips for everything—from glowing skin to maintaining jet-black hair well into their 70s. Yes, 78 and still no sign of gray! (Rumour has it even their shampoo is scared to mess with their formula.)
Our wellness adventures often lead us to serene retreats, and one such gem is the Pareeka Nature Cure Centre, a unit of the Shanthivana Trust. Nestled in nature, it's a tranquil haven that promises to rejuvenate the body, calm the mind, and possibly even realign your spine—if you survive the yoga stretches.
But wait, there’s more. Our ever-energetic founder member, Mr. Karnunakara Shetty, recently paid a visit to Sowkhyavana Nature Cure Centre—also a part of the Shanthivana family. Spread over a peaceful 18 acres (yes, even the birds chirp in slow motion), this centre is home to the sacred Shri Shrinivasa Temple and offers therapies that sound like a wellness buffet: hydrotherapy, diet therapy, acupuncture, yoga, reflexology, manipulative therapy… you name it.
The place is run by highly skilled naturopathic doctors and therapists—people who know exactly where your pain lives and how to chase it out with their fingers, needles, or a silent gaze of disapproval.
And now for the grand finale: Mr. Shetty isn’t just a local health hero. He’s international! During his trip to the U.S., he even ran a session of Laughing Yoga. Yes, he made America laugh with him (and sometimes at him—but hey, laughter is laughter).
Check out the video and picture below of Mr. Shetty recently conducting a Laughing Yoga session at Pareeka. Spoiler: the laughter was contagious, and so was the joy.
Because in the ABC Laughing Club, we believe in health, humor, and hair—preferably all three together.
