Laughter yoga is a gentle aerobic exercise.  There are contra-indications for laughing really hard!  (i.e. don't laugh hard if you just had abdominal surgery 🤗).  Please review the following for anything that may apply.

Laughter Yoga Information & Liability Release

Laughter yoga is a fun and healthy exercise regime with beneficial effects for the body, mind and emotions. Like any form of aerobic exercise, it should not be practiced by people with medical problems without first consulting their medical practitioner. Laughter yoga should not be considered as a substitute for proper medical consultation for physical, mental and psychological illnesses.

Laughing involves some physical strain and a rise in intra-abdominal pressure. It is contraindicated for people suffering from:

  • Uncontrolled hypertension

  • Advanced (bleeding) hemorrhoids

  • Any kind of hernia

  • Anything with acute symptoms

  • Epilepsy

  • Heart disease  

  • Severe backache

  • Surgery within the last 3 months

  • History of miscarriage or advanced pregnancy

  • Incontinence of urine

  • Major psychiatric disorders

  • Any persistent cough

   

This list is for guidance only and is not meant to be exhaustive. If in doubt, first consult a trained medical professional for guidance. Anyone already undergoing physician-prescribed therapy should seek the advice of their doctor before reducing or stopping such treatment.  You know your body. If during a session you feel sudden or new pain, please leave the session immediately or advise the leader if you require assistance.  Always adjust your movements and laughter by paying attention to your body.

I agree that I, my heirs, or legal representatives forever release waive, discharge and covenant not to sue for any injury or death caused by their negligence or other acts.
