Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea- simple and profound. An exercise routine that is sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout. The brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician from Mumbai, India,launched the first Laughter Yoga Club at a pak on March 13, 1995, with merely five persons. Today it has become a worldwide phenomenonwith more than 6000 Social Laughter Yoga Clubs in about 70 countries. Laughter Yoga combines Unconditional Laughter with Yogic Breathing(Pranayama). Anyone can laugh for No Reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and chillike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scinetific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits. Laughter Yoga clubs are fast growing into a worldwide community of like-minded people who believe in unconditional Love, Laughter and Fellowship. In the year 2000, nearly 10,000 people laughed together in Copenhagen, Denmark to set a Guinness Book Record.

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

This has never felt more true to me than in leadership.
When I think back to the people who led me, I don’t remember their KPIs or perfect slide decks. I remember how calm they made the room feel.

How they smiled even through the chaos.
How I felt safe to be myself around them.
That’s the kind of leader I try to be now. Not perfect. Not polished. But present, and joyful.

Let’s normalize that.
Let’s normalize happy leaders.
It’s time.

So… is this like a yoga thing or a feelings thing?” Someone asked me that five minutes before our session started, half-joking, half-concerned, fully unsure what they’d walked into.

Honestly? It was a fair question. Because this wasn’t your usual leadership session.
There were no frameworks. No icebreakers. No “let’s go around and say our name and title.”

What was there?
→ Some laughter that came from the gut
→ A few quiet moments that hit harder than words
→ A lot of people slowly dropping the version of themselves they think they're supposed to be

That question stuck with me, though. Yoga thing or feelings thing? Neither, really. And both. We don’t need more leaders trying to have all the answers. We need the ones who know how to actually be there.

Leaders who listen. Who stay calm when things get messy. Who don’t rush to fix or control.
If this made you feel a little easier, you’re not alone. We’ve had enough of perfect.

Real feels better. Reach out and let’s plan a session for your team!

Melbourne may be chilly this time of year, but my heart’s warm.

Being here is always a mix of reconnecting, with family, yes, but also with myself. There’s something about returning to familiar rituals that fill me up.

My annual Pilates classes at KX Glenwood are one of those things I look forward to, moving, stretching, feeling strong, and meeting new people along the way. (Grateful as always to Laughter Yoga for helping me strike up conversations with ease)

It’s not about doing something big. Just moving a little, laughing a little, and remembering that keeping my energy full helps me show up better, for everyone and everything I care about.

Just got back from an unreal week at IMD Business School in Lausanne, and what an experience it’s been!

The High Performance Leadership program wasn’t your usual “sit back and study other people’s wins” kind of course.
➡️ This time, I was the case study.
➡️ It was intense, raw, eye-opening—and exactly what I didn’t know I needed.

I went in playing it safe. I came out playing to win.
Over just four transformative days, I challenged old patterns, sharpened my leadership vision, and reconnected with what truly drives me.

As a Laughter Yoga and Mindset & Wellness Coach, I’m constantly learning—but this? This pushed me to another level.

I'm walking away with:
✔️ Fresh clarity
✔️ New leadership tools
✔️ A renewed commitment to lead with trust, boldness, and joy

Feeling recharged, re-centered, and ready.

Remember Titanic? That moment when the ship hits the iceberg and everything changes—chaos, confusion, and the sinking feeling that nothing is going back to the way it was? That’s what being stuck can feel like. Not because you're doomed, but because your internal blueprint just hit something real. Unexpected. Inevitable.

But here’s the part we don’t talk about: Jack and Rose didn’t grow by staying safe in the ballroom. They grew when the ship started sinking. When everything they thought was solid began to break. That’s where clarity showed up. That’s where the story changed.

Being stuck isn’t the end, it’s the plot twist. The turning point. The part where you start realising that maybe the life you’ve been building needs to shift. Maybe you’ve outgrown the version of you who wanted that first-class seat in the first place.

So next time you feel like everything’s standing still or falling apart, ask yourself: is this the end… or is this your Jack-and-Rose moment? The one where it all gets messy before it gets meaningful?

Growth doesn’t always come wrapped in motivation. Sometimes, it comes wrapped in waterlogged uncertainty and a new script.
You’re not sinking. You’re rewriting.

Your Mindset Might Be Holding You Back… 🤯

Do you catch yourself thinking in a way that keeps you stuck? It’s time to hit refresh on those thoughts!

📌 First, save this post—you’ll want to come back to it when your mind starts playing tricks on you.

Next time you catch yourself saying… ⬇️
❌ “I’ll start when I’m ready.” → Nope! Start now, figure it out on the way. No one ever feels ‘ready.’
❌ “I failed, so I must not be good at this.” → Failure isn’t proof you can’t—it’s proof you tried. Learn, tweak, go again.
❌ “I don’t have time.” → You do. You just haven’t made it a priority yet. Be real with yourself.
❌ “I wish I had what they have.” → You don’t see their struggles. Focus on building what’s meant for YOU.
❌ “What if it goes wrong?” → What if it goes right? You won’t know unless you try.

We’ve all been there. But the way you think shapes the way you live. Which one do you need to unlearn?

Why is it that we adults need a “reason” to laugh, but kids just do it for fun? 🤔

With over 15 years of experience leading Laughter Yoga, I’ve worked with corporate teams, senior citizens, and even little kids—and the reaction is always the same: “I feel so much lighter, like my worries just disappeared!” ✨

Laughter Yoga isn’t just an exercise; it’s a reset button for the mind and body. No matter your age or background, this practice brings joy, connection, and a sense of ease. And honestly, we could all use a little more of that!

In 2012, during a freezing Russian winter, I stood in a room full of strangers and asked them to laugh—not at jokes, but simply for the joy of it. What started as hesitation soon turned into unfiltered laughter, breaking the ice and filling the room with positivity. That magical moment landed me on the front page of Moscow News under the headline “Laugh with Anju,” marking the beginning of an incredible journey.

Looking back, I’m reminded of how powerful laughter can be—it helps us let go, break out of our shells, and reconnect with joy. Positivity isn’t just a feeling; it’s essential for our health and well-being. Laughter truly is a tool for healing, and its impact stays with us long after the moment has passed.

You’re pouring love into everyone else, but what about yourself? Why does it still feel like something’s missing?

We’re taught to believe love starts with someone else—a partner, a friend, or family. But what if the missing piece has always been you?

If you’re single, society tells you you’re incomplete. If you’re in a relationship, you might feel like you’re giving everything and still running on empty.

Love begins with how you show up for yourself. When you pour into your own cup, you attract healthier, more fulfilling connections.

As a mindset, wellness, and laughter yoga coach with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen how transformative self-love can be. That’s why I’m working on something special to help you nurture the most important relationship in your life—the one with yourself.

Start small with these 4 steps:
1️⃣ Daily “me-time” rituals: Journal, meditate, or try laughter yoga.
2️⃣ Set boundaries: Protect your energy unapologetically.
3️⃣ Speak kindly to yourself: Your inner voice is powerful.
4️⃣ Celebrate yourself: Big or small, every win counts.

❤️ This year is all about YOU. Follow me for more self-love tips and stay tuned for something exciting coming your way soon!
