When Chen Dacheng, who runs a medical devices business, saw a program about laughter yoga on the Discovery Channel in 2004, he became curious about the exercise, which requires no facilities and is accessible to people of all ages. Chen contacted Kataria, spent NT $ 100,000 to attend a seven-day seed class in Switzerland, then began actively promoting the exercise in Taiwan.
