The hashtag #WorldLaughterDay has been trending on Twitter all day
World Laughter Day is marked on the first Sunday of May each year. Dr Madan Kataria, founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement, organised the first World Laughter Day in Mumbai in 1998. People usually gather in public parks and laugh out loud together. According to the World Laughter Day
website, one of Dr Kataria's objectives is to promote world peace through laughter. Now that may seem like a stretch, but Dr Kataria argues that Laughter Yoga causes the body to release certain "Feel Good" hormones that promote feelings of happiness, love, tolerance, forgiveness and compassion. "When you laugh, you change and when you change the whole world changes around you," says Dr Kataria.
