Laughter Yoga has been introduced in many schools in Bangalore, Mumbai and Surat, but this is for the first time any school has taken the initiative to appoint a laughter yoga teacher.
Earlier they has ‘PT Sir’ for exercises, ‘Music Sir’ for Singing and playing music and now comes ‘Laughter Sir’. Kamlesh has been officially appointed is on the payroll as as Laughter Sir. His duties are teach laughter yoga for 10 minutes to 1000 students 3 times in a week after morning assembly.


Mr. Paresh Patel, the principal of the Sanskar Bharati School is very pleased with the outcome. He believes in laughter yoga and has set himself the challenge of doing laughter yoga with 25,000 children in a stadium within 2007 to set a new official record.
This is a milestone in the development of laughter yoga, one that we see as the beginning of a worldwide trend.
