Laughter Coaching

One of the amazing things about Laughter yoga is that anyone can do it, it does not matter how old or young, your level of fitness or mobility.

There is no need for any specialist equipment and you don’t even need a sense of humour to be able to take part! Laughter Coaching uses techniques from Laughter Yoga, to increase a sense of health and wellbeing, especially for those struggling with chronic pain conditions, anxiety and or depression that is holding them back from moving forward in life. Truly there are not many activities that everyone can take part in that have such excellent health benefits.

What are those health benefits?

- the feelgood factor,

- lifting the mood

- reducing stress and depression as endorphins and serotonin levels are increased.

Laughing has so many positives for both physical and mental health, however it also benefits us in a social way. Laughing with other people acts to establish positive bonds, reducing the feeling of isolation and loneliness.

Our brains are not able to tell the difference between real and fake laughter, - those happy feelgood chemicals are released in our brains in anycase. However, I am yet to encounter anyone that has not succumbed to genuine laughter whilst attending a laughter yoga session.

Packages Available

Health and Wellbeing Through Laughter

An 8-week course (3 hours per week) increasing both health and wellbeing through Laughter. Specifically, designed for those affected by long term conditions such as ME, CFS, Fibro etc. Research shows that Laughter releases endorphins and can reduce pain by 10%. or more. Laughter also reduces the release of the hormones cortisol and epinephrine that are linked to stress, anxiety, and depression. Studies have also shown that laughter can increase the production of the white blood cells that support the body in fighting off viruses and bacteria, thus improving our immune systems. The health and wellbeing effects of laughter are numerous and during this course you will learn how laughter is a vital component in staying healthy physically, mentally and holistically – Homework activities to be completed between sessions.

Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga was developed in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria, a doctor from Mumbai, who was looking for ways to reduce the stress of living in such a densely populated city. Dr Kataria started a laughter club to assess whether the saying that "laughter is the best medicine" was in fact true. While observing how people laughed, he discovered that even if people were not finding things funny, they would laugh if others were laughing. This same principle has been observed and used in situational comedy with the use of canned laughter – telling the viewer when to laugh. Dr Kataria went on to develop laughing exercises and combined these with breathing techniques that he had learned from traditional yoga.

Hence Laughter Yoga was born.
