Since Laughter Yoga is a unique concept, a person needs to be trained as a laughter leader in order to lead a group of people through Laughter Yoga session and meditation.

Whether it is a social laughter club, corporate session, LY for schools, seniors or people with special needs, Laughter Yoga exercises remain the same with slight variations according to the need of a group.

There are 3 levels of trainings:

  1. 2 Day Certified Laughter Yoga leader training (CLYL): These trainings are done by certified Laughter Yoga teachers for 2 days, at the end of which the participants are certified as laughter leaders.
  2. 5 Day Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training (CLYT): This is a 5 day  intensive training course conducted by Dr. Kataria and authorized teacher trainers (Master Trainers). Certified teachers can train other people as certified laughter leaders and they have in depth knowledge about leading Laughter Yoga in different areas of application, along with promotion, marketing, PR and training skills.
  3. Advanced Laughter Yoga Trainings (1/2 day or Full Day): These trainings are conducted by Dr. Kataria, based on his worldwide experience and skills.

I want to be a LY teacher but I´am a grafic designer-mother that knows a little Ashtanga Yoga and I do not know how to laugh sincerely. In my heart I know that this is what I should do for the rest of my life. How do I start. I live on the noth part of Mexico and there is only one school but very far from where I live.
I want to take the teacher training with Dr. Madan. Do you have all the material in spanish because I will be teaching in spanish?
