Welcome to LOL Yoga Foundation! We believe that laughter is the best medicine, and our mission is to create a happier, healthier world through the transformative practice of Laughter Yoga.
Established in 2015 by Dr. Harish Rawat, LOL Yoga Foundation is a registered foundation dedicated to spreading joy, alleviating stress, and promoting well-being through the transformative power of laughter and sound. Driven by a deep passion for making a positive impact, Dr. Rawat founded LOL Yoga Foundation with a mission to create a depression-free world and promote world peace.
Yoga courses are making a significant impact in 203 countries, including the USA, Spain, France, Italy, Russia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many others.
The journey began in 2006 when Dr. Rawat started conducting yoga sessions in slums, schools, colleges, and societies during weekends. However, it became evident that the youth were not connecting with traditional yoga and meditation practices. This realization was further reinforced by a poignant incident in 2015, when a young fresher in Dr. Rawat’s corporate environment attempted suicide due to work-life imbalance.
Dr. Harish Rawat is an internationally recognized Laughter Wellness & Spiritual Coach, renowned Laughter Yoga expert and visionary Founder of Lot of Laughter Yoga Foundation, India. Driven by his mission to create a Depression-Free World and promote World Peace through Laughter, he has dedicated his life to spreading happiness, positivity and emotional well-being through laughter-based wellness practices.
With a remarkable social impact of over 85,000 lives, Dr. Rawat has conducted Laughter Yoga, Laughter Therapy, Sound Healing, Guided Meditation and holistic wellness programmes across diverse sections of society, including schools, colleges, corporate organisations, slum communities, senior citizen communities, defence establishments, hospitals and correctional institutions.
In 2018, Dr. Harish Rawat achieved a Guinness World Record for the Longest Laughter Yoga Marathon, completing an extraordinary 36 hours and 2 minutes of continuous laughter-based wellness activity. He is also recognised in the Limca Book of Records for his contribution to promoting laughter and wellness.
His work has extended to prestigious institutions and public organisations, including the Delhi Police, Haryana Police, Noida Police and Indian Army. Through his community outreach initiatives, he has also contributed to the well-being of people associated with more than 50 NGOs across Delhi NCR.
Dr. Rawat has also served as Guest Faculty at Bada Business, an entrepreneurial learning initiative associated with renowned business educator Dr. Vivek Bindra, sharing his expertise in laughter wellness, positivity and holistic well-being.
He has extended his wellness initiatives to healthcare settings through Laughter Therapy, Clown Therapy, Sound Healing and Guided Meditation sessions, bringing moments of joy, relaxation and positive engagement to hospital environments, including cancer-care settings.
His contribution to spirituality and holistic wellness has been recognised with the prestigious Spiritual Scientist Award from Andhra University, alongside numerous other awards and honours.
His inspiring journey has received national and international media recognition, with features on CNN International, DD Sports, NDTV, News18, Anjan TV and other media platforms. His international media presence also includes Germany’s renowned Welt-Sichten magazine, which featured his work in an article titled Indien: Heilsames Gelächter (India: Healing Laughter).
Popularly known as the “Laughter Doctor” (a wellness identity, not a medical doctor designation), Dr. Rawat advocates laughter as a tool for promoting emotional well-being, stress management, positivity and human connection.
Through Corporate Laughter Yoga, Employee Wellness Programmes, Sound Healing, Guided Meditation, Clown Therapy, Spiritual Wellness Workshops, International Teacher Training and Community Outreach Initiatives, Dr. Harish Rawat continues to inspire individuals and organizations to embrace laughter and holistic well-being as a way of life.
His ultimate vision remains to build a Depression-Free World and a more peaceful planet through the transformative power of laughter.
