Dr. Kataria, a medical doctor in India, found the health and immunity  
benefits of laughter to be profound, and started the Laughter Yoga  
movement which has spread throughout the world.

This Sunday May 2, there is an organized event where people will be  
laughing on the NY City subways and hopefully the laughter will be  
contagious and fun for everyone.

Greetings Laughter Yoga Community of the Northeast!!

I am the Operations Manager for The Levity Project, a social movement  
creating positive social change through laughter, play and celebration  
by engaging in acts of levity in public places for the purpose of  
awakening people to the value of bringing joy and lightness into our  
lives.  The Levity Project works with the Laughter Yoga community when  
we organize our events.  It is a powerful way for Laughter Yoga  
leaders to bring their laughter to the streets.

On May 2nd- World Laughter Day, The Levity Project is looking for  
participants to engage in public laughter and play in NYC.   We are  
creating an event that will bring the spirit of laughter to the subway  
trains of New York City.  Our intent is to spread laughter from the  
participants to bystanders and back again creating a ripple effect of  
positivity and possibility.

We will essentially by creating a Laughter Train, with hundreds of  
people riding specific lines from 10am-12noon.  The trains will  
converge in Times Square, where everyone will come together for a  
World Laughter Day Celebration from 12-1:30pm, walking and laughing  
from Times Square to the UN.

The founder of The Levity Project, Katie West, and I are both  
Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders and love the amazing community of  
people who are involved with LY.  We are joining forces with the  
organizers of World Laughter Day in NYC to really create a powerful  
event.  We are planning on getting press and making a mark that will  
grow each year.

We would LOVE it if you could join us on the Laughter Train!  To take  
part you must register at the link below.   You must be registered to  
receive the detailed information of the specific laughter train  
routes.  This will be a coordinated event to distribute laughers in  
groups on cars.
