I observed the laughing club in Ahamadabad, Gujarat.  My uncle goes to laughing club frequently during the week at sunrise.  The club takes place in the local city park.  The instructor has been teaching laughing as a therapeutic healing art for many years.  His main points are the first, laughing clubs gets many elderly out of their home and out into the garden.  Second, he states that laughing is beneficial to lung volume especially for those elderly with COPD and asthma.  Finally, the instructor stated that laughing is beneficial for the soul and health.  There are 3 types of laughs.  As you will see in the video clips, there is the loud HO HO HO laugh, the silent laugh, and the belly laugh.
