Self-care is one of the most vital aspects of living a healthy and balanced life, and every country across the globe has their own unique way of de-stressing in a natural manner. India has what is called a Laughing Yoga University, and participants practice forced laughter between mindful breathing in order to gain the benefits from increased laughter. If you do not want it to be forced, you can receive the same benefits by watching a funny movie.

Key Takeaways:

• Many different cultures around the world engage in wellness practices that Americans can and probably should use to de-stress from the stress of daily life.
• Laughter Yoga, a practice developed by Indian medical doctor Madan Kataria, is exactly that, practicing yoga in a group setting while having a good laugh together.
• Many Nigerians embed Ubuntu into their daily lives, which is simply treating people kindly and putting others needs before your own.
