MEDIA, Pa. (WPVI) — Alexa Fong Drubay is a local practioner, master trainer, and all-around global ambassador of a growing movement in wellness called Laughter Yoga.

Founded 30 years ago by a medical doctor in India, Madan Kataria, laughter yoga does not involve poses. It is a series of simple movements, yogic breathing, and exercises designed to elicit intentional laughter.

The benefits can include stress relief and feeling connected, and it can help with anxiety, social isolation, and more. Laughter yoga can be practiced in-person or virtually, and Alexa leads both types of groups in the Philadelphia area. There are as many at 20,000 laughter clubs in 120 countries around the world.
