Meditation
Shri Jagat Singh Bisht
(Master Teacher: Happiness & Well-Being, Laughter Yoga Master Trainer, Author, Blogger, Educator and Speaker.)
Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person, a new person, or even a better person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective. You’re not trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings. You’re learning to observe them without judgment. And eventually, you may start to better understand them as well. LifeSkills will teach you learn meditation!

Laughter Yoga
Shri Jagat Singh Bisht
(Master Teacher: Happiness & Well-Being, Laughter Yoga Master Trainer, Author, Blogger, Educator and Speaker.)
Today is the birth centenary of Yoga Guru B K S Iyengar. Realizing the difficulties of men and women who could not stretch and bend to perform certain asanas, he devised props like blocks, ropes, belts, bolsters etc. for them so that they could get into the postures properly and experience the healing power of yoga. This is one of the greatest contributions of Iyengar Yoga to humanity. Pranaam!
Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. LifeSkills will teach you how to achieve inner happiness with #laughter!
