Laughter Yoga

My doppleganger, another Wendy Woods, has an interesting career. Caught this on the net:

Wendy Woods has been a Laughter Yoga professional since 2005. Laughter Yoga,
or as it's known officially, Hasya Yoga, was invented by Dr. Madan Kataria in India
in 1995. Noticing the many health benefits of a good laugh, Dr. Kataria
decided to start a "laughter club." People were initially sceptical of this idea, but
now there are approximately 5000 laughter clubs around the world.

Upon receiving training and certification from Dr. Kataraia, Woods began to offer her
services as a laughter expert to corporations and professionals as a
means of stress management. She has worked with
a wide variety of companies including Bombardier, Pfizer, Scotiabank,
and TD Bank Financial Group. She has also been
a major contributor to the organization of Toronto's World Laughter Day
for the past few years.

In an article by V. Radhika titled The Fake Laughter Movement, Wood
said, "Women are doing so many things and it (Hasya Yoga) is a
way for them to take time out for themselves. Many make plans to
come with friends from work and this is a way to
connect. Laughter creates a common language and is a great
way to break barriers."
