2011 AMERICAN LAUGHTER YOGA CONFERENCE

Here are some pictures from the 2011 All America Laughter Yoga Conference, which was held in San Diego, California in September. As you can see, William came along as well. We had a fabulous time laughing with the many amazing laughters, who had gathered from all around the globe for the event.

Here's the roundtable discussion I led about laughter yoga in religious contexts

LAUGHTER YOGA ON NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO

This weekend, you will have the opportunity to hear me as a contestant on the hilarious National Public Radio show, "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" I will be playing the "Bluff The Listener" game, competing for the most coveted prize on public radio—Carl Kasell's voice on my home answering machine. The show has already been taped, and I can't tell you if I won or not, but what I can say is that I got to talk about how I teach laughter yoga. For those of you who listen regularly to the show, you know that laughter yoga was mentioned just last week. So that makes two weeks in a row that laughter yoga was a topic on the show! This is great exposure for the world laughter movement. So check your local station's schedule and tune in this Saturday or Sunday. It will also be streamable at the website after this weekend. Ha ha ha...

UPDATE: I won! I won! I will be getting Carl Kasell's voice on my cell phone voice mail! Below is the media player from NPR where you can hear the Bluff the Listener segment of the October 9, 2011 show. Here's the transcript of the segment as well.

COME LAUGH IN MCGREGOR THIS FRIDAY

I'll be doing a presentation on laughter yoga in my own hometown this Friday night, October 7th at the Arts Center. It will be a rare opportunity to hear about my laughter yoga work and creative projects. Of course, there will be laughter, too. So come on out for a fun night starting at 6 p.m. (double click poster below for a larger view)
