A Thought from Yours Truly

When you share laughter you connect with your heart and the heart of those in the shared laughter space.

IMG E0550 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Kindness and love springs from our hearts and we become non-judgmental in that moment of connection and joy through our laughter-self-expression.

Too much fear of all sorts is surrounding us and it is a mind-thing that we can disconnect from when we start practicing our daily laughter.

IMG 1428 e1583054124499 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Laughing takes you beyond overthinking and enables you to see past what you find challenging. The challenges are still there but they become easier to get through when you laugh. Even when at first you pretend to laugh.

Film Maker and Laughter Yoga Professional, Albert Nerenberg, created film, “You are what you act”.

Well, you ARE what you act and your acting takes you from fake laughter to real laughter in a very short time.

Laughter Yoga is nothing short of a transformational miracle that happens at the curve of your lips.

Love, Laughter and Peace

Laughter Yoga Master Trainer Lotte

In June 2019 I took a journey to Oxfordshire to film, together with Digeo Productions, a video about Laughter Yoga for Oxford University students who have English as second language.

Oxford University Press, Digeo Productions

…and Laughter Yoga with Laughter Yoga Master Trainer Lotte Mikkelsen.

IMG 0982 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

The project for Oxford University Press was fun and also had its language lessons as well as how to dress for cultural acceptance.

IMG 0986 e1583086853987 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

For example I had to learn specific non-threatening lines, not that I use threatening language anyway but formulated in a slightly different way than my daily speech.

The team was supportive and fun to work with and they came out with an amazing video production.

Thank you to Diarmuid and Digeo Productions for making the day fantasticly fun and educational.

The Transformational Moments…

…of Laughter in February.

IMG 0773 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Teaching Laughter Yoga Training to enable others to share Laughter Yoga is a true passion.

IMG 1309 e1583087556263 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Facilitating workshops that create the first spark from connecting through laughter is another passion of mine that helps me understand the dynamics of any type of relationship better.

Last month I shared laughter with small groups of 10 people and large groups of over 500 people as well as all the inbetweens.

The only difference is that there are a few more people to engage with and manage in a Laughter Workshop with more people than less people.

IMG 0870 e1583087468638 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

We laughed in London with creative media people, in Whittington Hospital with cancer patients and their families and nurses, we laughed in Newport with Wickes store managers, in Alton with outdoors enthusiasts from Love Her Wild, in Croydon with Mencap, St Albans with Beavers and my weekly Larches Trust group were ready on Thursdays to throw in some good laughs and stories of their activities since last time.

In addition to this I had the fantastic opportunity to for the first time in all these 17 years share Laughter Yoga at a Stag Do. I have run many Hen Party laughter workshops over the year but the Stag Do with 10 Norwegian men coming to London for the weekend was a first and I invited my Laughter Ambassador Colleague, Melanie Bloch, to facilitate with me.

IMG 1238 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

So much fun!

There were many more shared laughs but the essense is that we create change, positivity, and transformation when we let down our inhibitions and barriers.

We allow for something different to happen in our lives…

Laughter makes us feel good when we start laughing together and people like people who make them feel good!

We shared even more laughter at the training in London, St Albans, Durham and Hemel Hempstead with the new Laughter Yoga Leaders and Teachers who are now ready to take laughter to new places!

The Inner Spirit of Laughter

After working toghether for a number of years in delivering Laughter Yoga Leader Training in London and Laughter Therapist Training in Hertfordshire, Melanie Bloch and I have developed a real nurturing space when we come together with our students.

We have launched our new 1-day workshop, The Inner Spirit of Laughter.

In this workshop you have a real opportunity to dive into your own laughter and discover the hang-ups, stops, inhibitions and more.

Through the discovery you enable yourself to find your true self-expression and way forward with laughter in your life.
