It's well-known that laughing makes you feel good.

But for one expert from Mumbai, Doctor Madan Kataria, laughing with yoga is particularly healthy.

Dr Kataria's started "Laughter Yoga".

This joins laughing exercises with breathing techniques from yoga, which provide oxygen to the body.

Kataria says jokes aren't needed!

Recently, a laughter yoga event took place in Bali, Indonesia.

There were over 11,000 people from all over the country.

Elke Seesing, from Germany, completely understands the benefits for the body.

Scientific studies in India and the US have shown that laughter reduces blood pressure.

It also makes your body's stress hormones drop.

And this makes a person feel better.

Dr Kataria's practice is easy to 'switch on' when necessary.

Just 10-15 minutes a day is all that's needed.

It can help a person deal with difficult moments.

Lilis Wardani, who's a stressed housewife, is a big fan.

One journalist wanted to know if Ms Seesing found it easy to laugh.
