Ever since The Dark Knight came out, I've been dreaming of a way to mix my Joker impression with my daily exercise routine. Thank God some creepy yoga instructor has found a way.

Not just any old laughter, but laughter yoga, a form of exercise that

blends bold belly laughs and noisy "meditation" with rhythmic clapping,

waddling around like a penguin or taking part in a conga line, and

deep, yogic breathing.

I know this article is about laughing yoga, but I think the whole "waddling around like a penguin," bit is definitely crazier. Is March of the Penguins a yoga instructional video?

I want a YouTube video of penguins doing a conga line on my desk first thing tomorrow morning, internet.

To take part in a laughter yoga class, you need neither a sense of

humor, nor a pill, a drink or the ability to bend your legs into

difficult yoga postures.

Finally a way to stay fit without having a sense of humor. I don't even need need the ability to exert physically in any way, shape, or form.

The only prerequisite is the ability to laugh, but getting people to laugh on command is difficult.

Getting people to laugh on command is difficult, but as this video can attest, getting me to cry, shake in terror, and pray for my mortal soul is pretty easy.

This video reminds me of this classic UK's The Office motivational speaking scene. These people are as delusional as David Brent

While looking for a picture to go along with this post, I found out there are literally dozens of reasons people laugh besides exercise regimens. Who knew?

After the jump, I reveal some of these reasons.

The moral of the story is, you don't need a yoga class to laugh, but it probably helps.

The End
