Study Groups

Experimental (laughter yoga) group
The intervention group will receive 12 online laughter yoga sessions, only one session per week for 12 weeks. In this study, the number of laughter yoga sessions was determined in line with the studies in the literature. Each laughter yoga session is planned to last approximately 40-45 minutes. Each session of laughter yoga consists of clapping and warm-up exercises, deep breathing exercises, childlike play and laughter.
Laughter yoga

Control group
The control group will receive no intervention for 12 weeks.
