Laughter “Yoga” is a deceptively simple yet very powerful form of exercise, combining laughter exercises with yogic breathing (quite different from traditional yoga with postures). Ultimately, Laughter “Yoga” is about the cultivation of joyfulness. It teaches you to make happiness a choice and not a consequence. Laughter is a universal language that transcends all barriers; age, gender, language, hierarchy, physical abilities, race, religion, political beliefs. Anyone can laugh without relying on humour, jokes or comedy. Laughter has profound effects on our mental and physical state of being.

Hey lovely Laughers!!
For only the second time in 18 years we are having to increase our session price....

To help cover hall costs, we are changing our pricing to
pay what you can easefully afford, ideally $5 per session.

We're really aware that even the smallest increase can be a stretch for some in these times, so please just pay what makes it easy for you to still come laugh with us! 🤗

18 years ago on 17 March 2007 I asked friends and family to come and join me at the St Albans Community Centre for the very first laughter yoga session to mark the beginning of the St Albans Laughter Club (they've never been back 🤣!!).

A massive thank you to all the Laughter Yoga Leaders who have volunteered their time over the years and to you all on this page (and beyond) who have turned up and laughed with us.

Without you all we wouldn't have been able to sustain the ongoing offering of laughter yoga in Christchurch and for that I am truly grateful. It is simply the most powerful way to dissolve stress and worry and to shift ourselves into a state of joy, that I have ever experienced.

A big thank you to Dr Madan Kataria and Madhuri Kataria for the gift they have shared with the world.

We will be holding our regular session at the Scottish Society Hall this Sunday 11-12pm and afterwards will be heading to Abberley Park for a picnic - it's going to be a beautiful day apparently! Please join us and bring a plate of kai to share. We're not sure exactly where we'll be, but you should be able to hear us!

Again thank you 💜

Happy World Laughter Day dear laughter yogis! Sending you all special thanks, love and laughter for your support in making the St Albans Laughter Club what it is today after 17 years!!! AND for helping spread the joy of laughter. Special acknowledgment to Dr Kataria and his wife Madhuri who founded laughter yoga in 1995, you've made the world a better place. Who knew that we would be the first club in the world to celebrate World Laughter Day (first Sunday of May), being in New Zealand and being the first country to see the sunrise each day. Love!
