From OM to LOL: Yoga’s Funniest Side

Yoga is known for its calm, its depth, its quiet wisdom… but let’s be honest. Yogis are also some of the funniest, quirkiest humans on the planet. And if you’ve ever tried to balance in Tree Pose while thinking about tonight’s dinner, you already know that the practice is just as much about laughter as it is about enlightenment.

December felt like the perfect time to celebrate that side of yoga. The days get full, the energy gets wild, and a little joy can go a long way. So, this month, we’re honoring yoga’s lighter side, the moments that make us smile, the moments that make us wobble, and the moments that remind us we don’t need to be perfect to be present.

Welcome to the playful world of OM to LOL.


Why Laughter Belongs in Yoga

You don’t need to read ancient texts to know this truth: joy is medicine.

Science agrees. Laughter boosts endorphins, softens tension, and increases oxygen flow, just like breathwork. Your nervous system relaxes. Your shoulders drop. Your jaw unclenches. For a moment, you return to yourself.

There’s even a whole global movement called “laughter yoga,” where people gather simply to giggle on purpose. It doesn’t matter if the laugh is real or not. The body doesn’t care. It responds anyway.

So yes, laughter is yoga. Joy is mindfulness. Play is presence.
And we need all of that more than ever in December.


The Relatable Moments Every Yogi Knows

If you’ve been on a yoga mat longer than three minutes, chances are you’ve met at least one of these:

The accidental savasana snore

It happens. It’s natural. And everyone pretends they didn’t hear it.  And... hopefully that's all we heard!

The yoga mat that curls like it has attitude

You roll it out… and it rolls itself right back up.
A test of patience and enlightenment.

The balance wobble you totally meant to do

A tiny wind shift. A phantom breeze. A ghost. Definitely not you.

The leggings that betray you in forward fold

Enough said, especially if you’re behind someone.

The “Is this stretch release or pain?” moment

We’ve all been there. That deep hip opener that makes you question every life choice.

The loud breather

The one who inhales like a majestic wave and exhales like a dragon.
Bless their commitment.

The instructor saying “just one more breath”

And then holding you there for seven.

You can’t help but smile because these moments are part of the practice. They show us we’re human. They remind us to lighten up, soften our edges, and meet the mat with curiosity instead of pressure.

And that… is yoga too.


Humor as a Mindfulness Tool

Humor isn’t a distraction from mindfulness. It’s a doorway into it.

When you laugh, you drop the armour. The inner critic goes quiet.
For a moment, you’re not trying to perform or perfect anything.
You’re simply present. And presence is the very heart of yoga.

Every time you smile during your practice, you’re practicing something deeper:

  • letting go
  • staying light
  • giving yourself permission to be human
  • softening the ego
  • reconnecting with joy

A light heart is a flexible heart. A playful mind is an open mind.
And a yogi who laughs is a yogi who breathes.


Our December Drop: Where Yoga Meets LOL

To celebrate the season and the spirit of joy, we’re releasing a fresh collection of funnies. These designs capture the silly, relatable, delightful side of yoga life.

And as always, our tees are more than cute sayings and graphics. They’re reminders:

  • not to take life too seriously
  • to find joy in the wobbles
  • to laugh at the chaos
  • to stay light when the world gets heavy

Wear them on the mat. Wear them to the café. Wear them to remind yourself that yoga is a practice of presence, not perfection.

Every tee in this drop lives in our Just Dropped collection for December. It’s your one-stop place to shop every new, playful design as it arrives.


Closing: A Smile for the Season

As the year winds down, may you find moments of calm, moments of breath, and many moments of laughter. Let your practice be soft. Let your heart be light. And when the world feels a little too serious, remember that joy is a form of wisdom too.

If you’re ready to welcome the playful side of yoga into your wardrobe, explore our newest designs in the Just Dropped collection.  Each Tee is made to lift your spirit before and after the mat.

With Love and Lightness,
