What is Laughter Yoga?

Laughter Yoga is a combination of yogic breathing, gentle stretching and simulated laughter exercises designed to enhance your childlike playfulness, boost your immune system, improve your sense of wellbeing and stimulate your natural laughter to overflow like a fountain of natural joy.

Laughter Yoga is a non-humour based form of laughter accessible to people of all ages, nationalities and cultures and a great experience for your growth both professionally and personally.

This is a fantastic training program for health and fitness practitioners, aged careers, community workers, team builders, teachers, support group leaders or anyone who wants to enjoy the benefits of abundant laughter and share it with others.

Laughter Yoga Leaders in your Workplace....

People who are happy at work are much more productive, creative and motivated, which is an asset to any business. Your workplace or business could benefit by adding Laughter Yoga whether you have a team of one or one hundred because laughter is a natural way to boost wellbeing, productivity and enhance workplace effectivness (see benefits, Laughter Stuff).

Laughter Yoga is non-humour based, which means anyone can do it! In Laughter Yoga we do not use jokes or need a sense of humour to laugh, we simply laugh because we want to gain some or all the physical and emotional benefits it provides.

Having an in house Laughter Yoga Leader will enhance the life of both your team and your clients. If your team is happy they will provide much better service or care to your clients and be able to do it with a positive attitude, which creates a wonderful environment for both clients and staff making it a win win assest for your workplace.

FQA's about Laughter Yoga Leadership

Who can do Laughter Yoga?

Anyone and everyone! Laughter is a universal language, it is something which we all have ingrained in us, we all can do it. Laughter Yoga can unite and connect people regardless of race, religion, age, sex or disability. It is something truly unique.

What is Laughter Yoga?

Laughter Yoga is a combination of simulated laughter exercises with gentle yogic style breathing and stretching and lots of childlike playfulness put together in a fun, interactive way to stimulate your natural flow of spontaneous laughter.

Do you use jokes in Laughter Yoga?

Laughter Yoga is a non-humour based form of laughter so we do not encourage the use of jokes during Laughter Yoga sessions. We practice laughing for no reason and use laughter as a form of exercise as well as a way to naturally release endorphins (the natural happy chemicals) through the body to improve how we feel, giving us a natural lift of energy, mood and exercise.

How can Laughter Yoga bring on real laughter, isn't it fake laughing?

When the founder of Laughter Yoga developed this method he discovered that the brain actually doesn't distinguish between real or simulated laughter and that if you do the physical expression of the laughter the body will automatically start to release the chemical releases that happen with true laughter anyway. However as this method utilises the contagious effect of laughter it will usually trigger the participants natural flow of spontaneous laughter even if initially the person did not feel like laughing. As the body changes, so does the mind and emotions.

What does a Laughter Yoga Leader do?

A Laughter Yoga Leader is a person who has been trained to facilitate Laughter Yoga with groups of people either as a Laughter Yoga session or integrate and combine it with other modalities, therapies or training methods.

Will the Laughter Yoga Leadership Training qualify me to facilitate laughter sessions?

Yes. Our 2 day Vibrance Laughter Yoga Leadership Training will train you in the method of Laughter Yoga and give you the tools so that you will gain the skills to facilitate Laughter Yoga sessions and once you complete and pass your assessment you will gain certification from Dr Kataria's School of Laughter Yoga as a Laughter Yoga Leader.
