World Mental Health Day 2016

Equinox Rocket To Recovery 140 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenInformation from WHO:

“The theme of this year’s World Mental Health Day, observed on 10 October, covers “psychological first aid”.

Efforts in support of the day will focus on basic pragmatic psychological support by people who find themselves in a helping role whether they be health staff, teachers, firemen, community workers, or police officers.

Despite its name, psychological first aid covers both psychological and social support.”

The practice of Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy has the potential of bringing about positive change and help people cope with the highs and lows of life.

UnitedMind will be sharing laughter in a number of organisations throughout the UK during October. There is only one World Mental Health Day, yet every day we experience the effect of poor mental and physical health.

We bring focus and change to what matters!

Laughter Yoga Teacher Training

IMG 7856 e1527527186729 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenWhy would you even consider becoming a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher?

Many people venture onto the 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training to find ways to bring more laughter into their lives.

This initial training is a fantastic first step in terms of finding out if Laughter Yoga is for you and also start the discovery of how and where you want to share laughter.

However, there are limitations which are covered in depth at the 5-day Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training.

Becoming a teacher paves the way for a potentially greater confidence in delivering professional workshops and eventually starting teaching other people to become Laughter Yoga Leaders.

2016 07 Laughter Yoga Teacher Training 13 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenYou learn to facilitate laughter workshops including relaxation methods for grounding purposes, we discuss teaching, and bringing laughter to various settings, uncovering the full benefits to individuals and groups.

And remember…

…the 5 days are only the beginning!

  • What are you looking to bring to life?
  • …to change if you had a choice?
  • …to add to something that may already seem perfect?

We get close because what we do matters, and we create change because we have the choice.

There were activities and lectures, talks and networking for everyone.

We laughed in the Get Active Zone on Saturday 17th September at the close of the day and it was great laugh!

As a reminder, I started laughing on the telephone every day from 2008 when I received an MS diagnosis.

We laughed for World Peace Day by Grey’s Monument which was in fact quite appropriate as Mr Grey was a persistant stand for peace in those days.

Freelance photographer David Whinham joined us for a few moments and we found ourselves mentioned on NEWZULU later that afternoon.
