Laughter Yoga

What is this?

Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise routine that combines unconditional laughter with deep breathing. Laughter is initially simulated as a physical exercise, without relying on humour, jokes, or comedy. In most cases, this soon leads to genuine and contagious laughter.

Who Am I?

My name is Helena. I am Brazilian, a researcher, and a certified Laughter Yoga Leader and Teacher trained in Brazil. I have led Laughter Yoga sessions in companies, schools, hospitals, and care homes, and I previously organised a Laughter Club in Salvador, Brazil.

I'm planning this event because I've been in London for a while and have been missing practising laughter yoga :)

What to Expect

We will start with a brief introduction, followed by laughter exercises and playful activities, and finish with a guided relaxation session.

What to Bring

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, bring something to sit or lie down and your water bottle.

Contraindications

Laughter exercises are a form of aerobic activity. Participants should ensure that they do not have any medical conditions or other contraindications that would prevent them from engaging in moderate physical exercise.

Meeting point: Near Clissold House & Cafe (Stoke Newington Church St, London N16 9HJ).

The session is free of charge. Come along and bring your friends!
