Small Pic Lotte Mikkelsen and Sunflower - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenOnce again in August I had the awesome chance to laugh with car enthusiasts and happy festival goers at BBC Children In Need event CarFest 2018 – this time in the South with my Laughter Colleague, Liz Doyle.

CarFest 2018 South – another shared laugh!

Thank you so much CarFest North and South for inviting us to share Laughter Yoga!

It was fantastic to experience laughing with festival goers in both North and South at the BBC Children in Need CarFest 2018.

KMGL3748 e1535373034765 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenLiz and I took to the stage together at the South event and when we started our planned laughter exercises the skies and clouds and everything above opened with heavy raindrops hitting us all!

We still managed to keep the laughter flowing in the festival drizzle.

Thank you to everyone who took part and to the organisers of CarFest. We hope to be back next year with more laughter exercises and encouraging daily laughter!

Watch on Youtube from South as well as North:

Please visit http://www.carfest.org/ to read more about the event.

Our play, happiness and laughter events are essential for thriving and for re-vitalising in the workplace and home where little things may wear you out and leave you depleted, and sometimes feeling defeated.

Having a Daily Laughter Practice does not remove obstacles and challenges but they seem easier to accept and move forward from regardless what they are.

Laughter Yoga’s popularity is increasing every day and our courses and workshops are booked early across London and around the UK and the world!

We are life changers and Laughter Yoga is our choice of voice!

Please get in touch about our courses, workshops, conferences, laughter clubs and other events, please contact us on email, info@unitedmind.co.uk, phone 0800 1214 714 or mobile 07736 341 717.

The Playing Human Conference – what’s in it for you?

If you missed the introductions of our extra-ordinary keynote speakers please visit www.unitedmind.co.uk/category/laughter-conference

Wheelie Oct 04 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenFor the past many months I have been raving on about The Playing Human Conference which opens its doors in less than a month to two days of fun, serious learning and networking in London.

The event is more than a playful conference for having a few days out. There is real science behind the idea that being playful can really help us focus, stay motivated and become more productive.

It is an inspirational opportunity to learn from outstanding individuals who seem to have mastered the ancient art of play. They are sharing their secrets to lifelong contentment with us over the two days and in essence giving you some real-life techniques to help you through all seasons of life.

Two days where happiness, improvisation, play, laughter, masks, theatre, comedy and attitude take centre stage for you and with you.

2018 08 05 23 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenPlayfulness makes us better colleagues, laughter connects us and people who laugh together stay together, we judge less and find better solutions.

The range of playful speakers at the conference will give you food for thought and with the great variety of idea share, backgrounds and experience in the area of playfulness, laughter and living a happy, thriving life, there is something for everyone.

If you are still thinking about it, then stop.

chameleon - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenThinking is an activity that takes place in the part of the brain from where all logic and judgment stems and this is also the place where past solutions may not have worked and may never work. Becoming more playful enables us to access other parts of our brain that can help us become more creative and enjoy becoming balanced while surfing on top of life and work.

You can read all about the event on http://www.laughteryogaconference.co.uk/the-playing-human-conference/.

Play is essential for any adult and The Playing Human Conference is the event where you get fired up with ideas on how to improve your life at work and home.

Events across London and the UK – laughter matters!

August is a great holiday month for many families and people across the country. I used to keep the month free for spending time with my daughter but now she is much older and her life is full of her own busy so I organise my time as and when people want to laugh and learn Laughter Yoga.

2018 08 11 01 Cardiff e1535384679752 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenLaughter Yoga took me to Cardiff where we were 14 ‘girls’ spending two days laughing and learning. Carol, who had completed the Laughter Yoga Leader Training in 2009, had invited me to run the training and we ended up with a really nice group of laughter-willing people.

Four people had been to The Festival of Happiness in Manchester in early June where they decided to come on the training, and the rest of the group had either just found Laughter Yoga or been pondering on it for quite some time before deciding to train as Laughter Yoga Leaders.

“I found the course absolutely amazing, uplifting and it was a tremendous emotional release for me having been silent (believe it or not) and suppressing my bubbly personality for years and years.”

Thank you so much for joining me in Cardiff, I cannot wait to hear about the laughter spreading all over Wales and West-England.

Durham was beautiful, too, where 7 people turned up to learn the practice of Laughter Yoga in North-East England and even from Dundee in Scotland.2018 08 03 Laughter Yoga Leaders Durham e1535385238815 - 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

“I had a fantastic time at the weekend with you and the group, and it has brought me so much already. “

I sit here writing and holding some beautiful memories on the forefront of my mind, they trigger memories from course years ago and I am reminded of the tremendous privilege it is to teach Laughter Yoga in the training courses as well as workshops around the country with people who are willing and people who may have reservations.

The outcome is similar – joy and possibilities!

2018 08 12 04 Cardiff - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenTeaching is not just about passing on information and lessons, every time I teach Laughter Yoga, Gibberish and Laughter Therapy I learn valuable lessons in compassion, humanity, individuality and community.

I leave my training courses feeling touched, moved and inspired by each of the individuals who have decided to take on Laughter Yoga, and it comforts me to know there is a bright and joyful future ahead of us.

2018 05 Day 2 Laughter Yoga Leader Training St Albans Cheeky Greeting 2 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenI am tremendously grateful to have students and clients from all walks of life who invest in Laughter Yoga and therapeutic methods for reducing stress in the workplace and at home, apopting ways to create positive change in all areas of life, and become more playful, compassionate and mindful through learning Laughter Yoga, Gibberish and Laughter Therapy.

There are many more groups I have been laughing with in August but I wanted to focus on telling a bit about the Laughter Yoga Training this month as it had been positively filling up many weekends. There will be many more stories to come in the months ahead.

If you are interested in laughter workshops, training, coaching, 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.

The Telephone Laughter Club

talk 845619 1920 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenIt is exciting that The Telephone Laughter Club now has its own webpage where you can find all details of when we laugh on the phone.

The original 7am Telephone Laughter Club is celebrating 10th Anniversary in September and we are therefore offering weekend laughter at 8am to 8:10am on Saturdays and Sunday – and since we are laughing on the phone you can easily stay in your jimjams.

The Weekend Telephone Laughter Club details between 8am and 8:10am on Saturdays and Sundays:

  • Phone number in the UK 0333 113 0100
  • Follow instructions and enter pin 958 0550 #

The 7am Telephone Laughter Club is on an 0800-number and has a small quarely fee of £10 or annual fee of £30. When you train with UnitedMind you get one month free access to keep you laughing!

You can register for the 7am laughter via the UnitedMind Online Shop.

The Telephone Laughter Club at 8am-8:10am is moving to laugh with the Rise & Shine Laughter Line which also runs at 8am-8:10am, and we found that it was a shame to separate 8-o’clock laughers on different numbers. Full details are listed on www.telephonelaughter.co.uk.
