Corporate Laughter Workshops and Training
The number of workplaces who are choosing Laughter Yoga, Laughter Coaching and Laughter Therapy as a method for combatting various business needs such as team building, stress management, communication and presentation skills, as well as the more hidden pains within their staff, has risen dramatically over the past few years.
This increase in the requirement for laughter workshops and training is a great trend that is continuing into 2019 and beyond.
Already the diary well into 2020 is bursting with bookings and I am tremendously grateful for the trust in the work we deliver around the country.
There has been and continues to be great focus on mental health in both the public and private sectors, and in this area we have many great results using Laughter Yoga as a long-term method to help integrate healthy habits and move forward in life.
Mental health is NO LAUGHING MATTER and we take it extremely serious when we work within organisations with challenges of this nature seeing that we work with people, emotions, teams, families and encounter many issues that require true connection and huge capacity for compassion. This is what we create when we share laughte and community.
Laughter Yoga is for more than just one-off workshops and events.
We provide long-term programmes to ensure the success of incorporating laughter as a professional statement and tool for creating results, both personally and professionally.
People who experience this often feel more connected with their peers, grounded in themselves as well as feel ready for any challenge.
There is not one single area where Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy cannot be applied to benefit individuals and groups.
Your organisation benefits from an allround solution with the potential for building relations, creating focus and motivation, lowering absence and improving staff retention and morale.
The workshops and keynotes we deliver have a deep-rooted foundation in real-life experience as well as in medical and scientific research.
UnitedMind and our partners are experts in delivering Laughter Key Notes, Workshops and Training in the areas of
- Mental health
- Physical wellbeing
- Stress management
- Team building
- Presentation skills
- Communication skills
- Science behind laughter

The Laughter Yoga 25th Anniversary
We are back to our original dates so you may want to change your diary to 5th to 7th June 2020 when we re-enter Conway Hall to celebrate Laughter Yoga 25th Anniversary and celebrate being Playing Humans.
I am conscious that it may seem early to get the word out but I can assure you that venues are already booked far into the distance as are professional speakers.
So. I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am that many keynotes are in place and although there may still be some surprises the line up is awesome!
- Friday 5th June 2020 is Laughter Yoga 25th Anniversary Celebration and will be opened by Dr Madan Kataria and Mrs Madan Kataria
…and The Playing Human Conference 2020!
Saturday 6th June 2020 is the start of The Playing Human Conference 2020 with keynotes I will shortly start introducing because when it really comes down to time we have so little before June 2020…

If you want to put your interest forward you can book now, there are only 200 seats made available and with a fee this time of £100 (early bird) and £150 (full fee) for all three days I am fairly certain we will fill Conway Hall in 2020.

London and UK – touching, moving, inspiring
November and all the months prior to now have been full of shared laughter and although some may find it unexpected and others may love it what is a common denominator for all workshops and training is that we have spent time finding laughter and laughter has flown.
Laughter connects us and helps us find common ground to move on from disagreement, adversity, differences, ups and downs, and all the things that constantly happen in life and at work.
- London is on a laughter high!
- The rest of the UK is on a laughter roll!
- The whole World is on a laughter mission!
November saw new Certified Laughter Yoga Teachers hit the towns and cities of the country, and there were laughter workshops held in nurseries, groups with learning disabilities, professional consultants, insurance people, and that is just November…
Throughout 2018 almost 20 workshops have been channeled from me to Laughter Professionals with whom I work with on a regular basis because I have not had the availability.
I wish I could work with every client who come to me, but I also enjoy nurturing the people who have trusted me with their training and development, and I, in turn, trust them to deliver to very high standards. Furthermore, we work together and my vision is to create opportunities for laughter for us all.
If you are interested in laughter workshops, training, coaching, keynotes, other events and how you can learn to promote health and happiness at home and in the workplace, please contact us on email info@unitedmind.co.uk, or phone 0800 1214 714.
Laughter Clubs around the UK
A reminder that we meet and share laughter in the 1st St Albans Scouts Wadley Hut in The Laughter Club International (UK) in St Albans on Sunday 2nd December at 1pm-2:30pm – please do join us!
There are over 100 Laughter Clubs in the UK with their own webpage where you can find details.
Please get in touch about the laughter clubs and other options via email, info@unitedmind.co.uk, phone 0800 1214 714 or mobile 07736 341 717.
The Certified Training Formula
When you become a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader or Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher you are not stuck with your presentation.
Learning Laughter Yoga takes you through a formula that works well and teaches you a way of presenting which is a great foundation.
With this formular for introducing and running a laughter session it means you have a standard that you can work with in your sessions but it is far from ‘the only way to do it’.
Everyone has their own style and the format is simply a way of encouraging you to get confidence and to develop your own way of introducing.
Everyone learns the same method of delivery but Laughter Yoga then evolves and develops to be shared from our personality and your soul.
Nothing is set in stone and we come from a variety of backgrounds where we bring in our own core values and ideas, this is what we share in our groups when we are trained Laughter Yoga Leaders and Teachers.
Since 2007 I have trained more than 1,000 Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders and over 150 Certified Laughter Yoga Teachers. I am not telling this to brag in any way (perhaps just a little moment of feeling proud and feeling grateful), instead it is to highlight the popularity and the need for this type of training.
The 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training is really popular as a starter and both myself and the teachers I have trained enjoy teaching Laughter Yoga Leader students on courses around the country.
If you would like to train with me I would love to teach you and share my 16 years experience with you in London (together with Mel Bloch), St Albans, Durham, Blackpool and your venue if you want to organise your own dates with your group of minimum 4 people, as well as one-on-one in Hemel Hempstead.
There are currently 104 regular Laughter Clubs started by Laughter Yoga Professionals.
However, there are MANY more Laughter Yoga Professionals who have trained and taken Laughter Yoga and Laughter Coaching into their lives, their workplaces, and their communities without starting a social Laughter Club.
It is all about deciding what is suitable for you!
The 5-day Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training is the next step where you learn to teach Laughter Yoga Leaders and use more techniques in your professional work and personal life.
The training has been running at Felden Lodge in Hemel Hempstead since I started teaching the course in November 2012 – and it is amazing.
You get the opportunity to connect with some wonderful Laughter Yoga Professionals who together with you are taking Laughter Yoga to a whole new level. We go into the depth of breathing as well as discuss business oppotunities, you share you own special talent even if you think you have none, and much more.
The price you pay for the 5-day Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training is inclusive of accommodation from Monday to Friday and includes a vegetarian diet all week.
Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training runs on the following dates
- 21-25 January 2019 Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training £850
- 28 Oct-1 Nov 2019 Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training £850
