Laughter Club interview with SDPB Dakota Digest

It's been a year since Jill and Dan Johnson started the first ever Laughter Yoga Club in South Dakota.

Laughter Yoga was created by a western trained family practice physician from India. Dr. Madan (Muh-DAWN) Kataria (KUH-tar-REE-uh) came up with idea while studying the benefits of laughter. There are now over 6,000 laughter clubs around the world.

For today's Dakota Digest, SDPB's Jackelyn Severin joins the Sioux Falls Laughter Club for its one year anniversary.
