Dr Kataria inspired in 2007 the world Laughter Yoga community to play with the expression “very good, very good, yay!” and it has proved extremely popular.
Here is how it works:
- Clap your hands twice in front of you as you repeat each time: very good!
- Put both thumbs up, make eye contact with as many people as you can, and enthusiastically say: Yeah! (you may or may not want to lift both arms up as you do so.)

Here is how this expression translates in 29 different languages (thank you to Melanie Rudolph for starting this compilation).
