Be trained and certified to certify other Laughter Yoga leaders!

Laughter Yoga is an ancient new idea of combining the practices of Yoga and prolonged intentional laughter. This combination is extremely potent and effective. Join the exciting field of Laughter Yoga, and become certified to train others to be leaders of Laughter Yoga sessions locally and internationally. Attend this six day certification and receive all the instruction, materials (including a teacher's manual), and experience you will need to begin training other Laughter Yoga leaders to run their own Laugh-a Yoga Certification programs.

Learn to instruct other Laughter Yoga Leaders in how to:

  • Lead Laughing Yoga Training group sessions with increased communication skills and teamwork
  • Give solo and partners instruction and sessions, releasing maximum stress and tension
  • Practice your own laughter skills and have time and support to perfect your own style
  • Fully bring core Yoga teachings into the laughter training sessions
  • Expand your professional skills to include corporate and educational settings with adults and children
  • Find the resources to increase and enhance your personal practice and train other leaders
  • Bring knowledge of the medical benefits, and contemporary research, to your students' awareness such as helping alleviate anxiety and depression, anti-ageing and stress
  • Receive Yoga Alliance and Nurses Association accreditation

Laughing Yoga is becoming a more recognized program for the individuality of Yoga students. Yoga students, around the country, report this new niche in Yoga practice is not only fitness friendly but emotionally uplifting. Offering an opportunity to hear other laughs prompts a unique connection between students which would otherwise not be found in an older version of Yoga practice. Furthermore, the muscle contractions, used during Laughing Yoga, further enhance the torso level work out and results of the Yoga program.

"The best remedy for any illness is laughter." - HH Sri Swami Satchidananda

 Did you know?  Laughing 15 minutes per day can decrease the risk of heart disease by 10 percent!
