Sağlık sisteminde önemli bir yere sahip olan eğitimli ebeler; kadınlara bilgilendirme yapar ve sağlık hizmetleri ile ilgili seçenekler sunarlar. Bu seçeneklerden biri de tamamlayıcı terapilerdir. Ebelerin bu terapileri kimi zaman önerdiği, kimi zaman da uyguladığı görülmektedir. Tamamlayıcı terapilerden biri olan kahkaha yogası da ebelerin önereceği veya uygulamalarında kullanabilecekleri bir seçenek olabilir. Kahkaha yogası gruplarla birlikte, seanslar halinde ve egzersiz şeklinde yapılan bir uygulamadır. Bu uygulamanın fizyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyal yönden sağlık üzerine olumlu etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu olumlu etkiler menopoz dönemi, pospartum dönem ve meme kanserli kadınların sağlığı üzerinde de olmuştur.
