Happy birthday to Laughter Yoga! 😁

An utterly fantastic creation which brings a wealth of health benefits to all participants.

Created by a medical doctor and evidence based.

Mood enhancing chemicals dopamine, serotonin, endorphins are released into our system and oxytocin (the chemical that enhances bonding between people). Cortisol (the stress hormone) is inhibited.

It is not possible to laugh and feel stressed at the same time!

Great fun and truly refreshing. No leotards needed, it is not yoga as we know it 😀.

Working in a team that needs a good oiling? No problem. It happens. Life is busy, work demanding... and sometimes isolating.

Laughter brings people together, banishes stress and releases a cocktail of fantastic chemicals in our brains that refresh us and our thinking.

No leotards needed. Just the ability to laugh and breathe.

I'm always happy to discuss how laughter can help your team, and arrange a bespoke session. All evidence based.
