Laughter yoga sessions combine laughter exercises and deep breathing along with silly songs and games. Sessions end with a laughter meditation where you laugh for absolutely no reason, followed by a grounding visualisation.

In laughter yoga, laughter is initiated by pretending to laugh as it has the same benefits as more spontaneous laughter because it’s contagious.

Laughter yoga has many benefits:

• It increases playfulness and creativity
• It enhances relationships and connection by the feeling of unity
• It’s stressbusting
• It boosts immunity
• It energises and relaxes

We’re social creatures and laughter yoga offers a simple yet profound way to connect with others and combat the stress and isolation many of us may have experienced during the last couple of years.
