100th Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training
July 2007 saw the first 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training being held in St. Albans – my first one of now many.
Since then I have had the privilege and pleasure to spend many humbling moments of training with individuals and teams around the country.
So many amazing moments that the 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training on 3-4 August 2016 at Everton FC’s “playground” in Liverpool in the 100th of its kind held by me and UnitedMind.
The Laughter Yoga Training is not just about learning laughter, the course teaches you life skills for managing stress in your life and for bonding with people. Laughter Yoga provides you with a superb coping strategy while you improve your health and wellbeing.
I am passionate about teaching Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy because I see the instant change in people who give themselves permission to enjoy the moment, allow themselves to learn new ways and let go of old conditioning.
Every course, every participant, every laugh, every tear touches, moves, and inspires me deeply, and I can only hope that many more will find the way to the courses.
It takes courage to venture out on a path that is slightly louder and perhaps different than the one society and our communities dictate is the “right” one.
The only right way is the one you choose yourself!
I strongly recommend Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy for future-proof health, happiness, and balance in life and at work.

A little mention of the amazing 5-day teacher training
The 5-day Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training is so special it really does deserve a mention.
Earlier in July I had the privilege to teach and to learn from 12 amazing individuals, all on different journeys in their lives but all out to make positive challenge a thing of the present and future day.
The days are long and intense, starting most mornings at 7am and finishing most evenings at 9:30pm. However, the energy that is summoned in the space of the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training lifts everyone to a level where anything is possible.
We all come together to make plans for a future full of laughter, playfulness, love, and fun – at work and in life outside work!
This training is not about Laughter Yoga – this training is about empowerment for life and life skills in a changing world.

Higher Education
Colleges and universities explore Laughter Yoga for staff and students now more than ever.
The stress trend in the education sector has been booming for many years and seems to be at an all-time high.
However, there are things being done!
Many higher education institutions have regular and ongoing events to promote healthy, stressless living, and it is exciting that Laughter Yoga is becoming an ever-growing part of these events.
Both students as well as staff have the potential to benefit from lowering stress levels throughout the years of learning and teaching. Laughter Yoga offers some great tools for relaxation and breathing as well as connecting with others.
Practicing Laughter Yoga can potentially build physical stamina and emotional resilience as well as give your brain a great oxygen boost for improved academic abilities.
Would you be willing to laugh?

Accredited Laughter Therapist Training
Laughter Therapy is NOT Laughter Yoga and is not connected with Laughter Yoga International!
The Accredited Laughter Therapist Training is a unique new programme from UnitedMind, developed by UnitedMind.
The course runs over two days but does not end there. Over a period of 6-12 months the delegates will run community programmes that benefit the groups and/or individuals they work with long-term. The programmes will run from 8-12 weeks per case study and UnitedMind will be happy to issue a letter of authentication of the delegates participation in the Accredited Laughter Therapist Training programme.
This course is ideal for people who work with health and mental health clients, as therapist or with counselling, in the NHS or privately. Having a therpeutic background is not a requirement but it is highly recommended. Being a Laughter Yoga Professional is not a requirement either.
The programme covers laughter for no reason from a psychological and philosophical perspective, happiness, neuroplasticity basics, improvisation, the cathartic process, and lots more.
