In this informal Hindi‑language session, Dr. Priti Nanda Sibal (Speaker A) leads a group of participants (Speakers B and C) through a structured laughter‑yoga practice designed as a therapeutic “prescription” for the stress of the COVID‑19 pandemic. The instructor begins by reminding participants of their prior 14‑day practice, then introduces a breathing routine to be performed before and after meditation (about 22 minutes each). She emphasizes pelvic engagement – pulling the pelvic floor upward and drawing the abdomen inward – as a core physical cue for the laughter exercises. The session proceeds through a series of playful laughter drills: a “Namaste” style laugh, a “Smoothie” yoga laugh, a “High‑Five” laugh, and a “Child‑like” laugh, each described with specific vocalizations and body cues. Throughout, the instructor uses enthusiastic, humorous language, encourages sustained giggling, and reassures participants that the practice can build muscle, relieve mild pain, and improve mood without disturbing household members. The overall tone is light‑hearted, instructional, and supportive, aiming to provide a simple, accessible mental‑health tool during pandemic lockdowns.
