Laughing might seem the last thing you want to do when you’re at a low ebb. What if its the best thing you could do?

Its an interesting thing though that your body can’t tell the difference between a genuine laugh and the sound of laughter. The same part of your brain is activated and  ‘feel good’ hormones are released in your body. Combined with deep, yogic breathing and a touch of playfulness, practicing Laughter Yoga can bring a host of benefits to your health and wellbeing.

Was amazing. I was so stressed and anxious when I came in, I felt low, but after this I am light and relaxed.” Cathy 

Laughter Yoga sessions are tailored to the needs of each group and can be done sitting, standing or even laying down.  Group sizes can vary from 6 to 306!

Laughter Yoga can take place anywhere: in the workplace or school, in a community setting or care home, even online.

Laughter Yoga is a great way to raise the energy of a conference and we’ve even provided an hour of fun at a hen night!

    The service users said they still felt uplifted and were laughing days after the session, and so were we!”                            – Telford MIND.

Laughter brings numerous social, emotional and physical benefits.
Scientific studies suggest that a ten minute full-blown belly-laugh is enough to bring all the attendant health benefits into your life. Laughter:

  • Improves brain function (increased oxygen throughout the body)
  • Reduces pain (increase in natural pain killers: endorphins)
  • Reduces stress (decrease in hormones cortisol and adrenaline)
  • Alleviates depression (increase in beta-endorphins)
  • Lowers blood pressure (tests show that during the session blood
    pressure increases. Afterwards, it drops below its starting level)
  • Boosts the immune system (increase in human growth hormone
    which aids sleep and cellular repair)
  • Increases positivity and mental wellbeing
  • Increases emotional wellbeing and social connectivity

Laughter yoga sessions give a safe, nurturing and hilarious environment in which a laughter specialist facilitates people to enjoy a minimum of ten minutes full-blown laughter, followed by guided relaxation.
