The Viennese University appointed Claudia Zimmermann, Yoga and Ayurveda teacher, as the new Laughter Yoga lecturer for their summer term. The course was launched in March in which 25 students participated in the first laughter session. At first, they did some asanas, yoga-postures, as a warm up exercise followed by the addition of pranayamas and breathing exercises. Then they did the laughter session and ended up with Laughter Meditation.
