How You Will Benefit From This Training

You Will Know Laughter- You will get in depth knowledge about laughter and Laughter Yoga wisdom – how and why it works as well as the immeasurable benefits it provides for body-mind wellness.

You Will Learn To Do Laughter-Knowledge alone is not enough. You have to actually do laughter to experience the benefits. Laughter Yoga methods will give you guidelines and practical skills to do laughter in a group and once your body gets the intelligence of laughing without a reason, you can even laugh all by yourself anytime, anywhere.

You Will Learn To Live Laughter- Laughter is not just about learning and doing Laughter Yoga – it is about living it. If you are happy, but people around you are not happy, they will not allow you to stay happy for a long time. Therefore, it is imperative to bring happiness to others in order to find yourself happy. With our experience with Laughter Yoga, we found that once people start laughing on a regular basis, it automatically brings attitudinal changes in their behavior – They become more loving, caring and forgiving. Not only do they laugh in the laughter session; they carry the spirit of laughter throughout the day. So, don’t you think it’s time for you to do something and make a conscious effort to bring more laughter and joy into your life as well as that of others?
