Last night I had the opportunity to run a Laughter Yoga session to celebrate the work of the team and volunteers from . They do so much in the local community to help people with babies and young families and were a joy to laugh with. In the space of 30-minutes the room was filled with joy and laughter.

One of the participants who suffered from asthma told me afterwards she could breathe more easily - one of the many benefits of Laughter Yoga.

Attended the Disability Conference for DAWN (Disability and Welfare Network) at Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital yesterday and had the opportunity to run a Laughter Yoga session to lift the atmosphere following some moving discussions. The mood and connection between attendees was a joy to be part of as the laughter flowed. Here are some of the comments they left for me:

'I expected to be self conscious but wasn't (for long)'

'Lifted my spirits'

'Joy'

'From grief to relief'

'Joyous'

'Amazing delivery - really needed a good laugh'.
