Did you know that your laughter is a powerful wellbeing tool, enabling you to reduce stress and anxiety? Or that laughter is a form of mild exercise? When you laugh you actually support both your mental and physical health.

Join me at Centre Le Chemin for a two-hour workshop which will include the practice of laughter, followed by a personal reflection, guided by coaching questions inviting to instrospection.

What to expect during the practice of laughter yoga?

  • You will laugh intentionally by following proven laughter yoga exercises
  • Deep breathing exercises to catch your breath
  • Laughter meditation (yes, such a thing exists)
  • Guided relaxation
  • Movement, clapping, games, childlike spirit
  • Theatrical improvisation (we pretend …)
  • Singing – even if you thinbk you can’t sing
  • Embodiment postures
  • Mindfulness techniques and … even more.

Personal Reflection – A moment of self-reflection with coaching questions to reflect and support change

According to positive psychology, experiencing positive emotions supports creativity and innovation and helps open up new perspectives.

After being infused with all the mental and physical benefits brought by the practice of laughter yoga, you will have the opportunity to take a moment of self-reflection. Guided by a selection of coaching questions, you will take the time to reflect, obtain clarifications or even make decisions. I will provide a pen and paper, to help you reflect better.

Benefits of Laughter Yoga Practice

Laughter yoga brings many benefits both for the body and mind. At the end of the laughter yoga practice you may experience:

  • Good mood: Your body will create endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, which support your mood and emotional well-being.
  • You will feel good, activated and then relaxed
  • You will release the tensions in your body
  • You will experience that childlike playfulness that adults so often lack
  • You will experience positive emotions, such as joy, gratitude and connection
  • You will reconnect with your inner child, in a playful way

Not that sure about intentional laughter?

The brain does not make the difference between “fake” and “natural” laughter. In both cases, laughter will benefit your mood and your body.

What to bring?

  • A yoga mat for the laughter meditation and for the relaxation
  • A bottle of water
  • Comfortable clothes
  • Warm socks, and is possible, anti-slip, especially during the cold seasons
  • Your curiosity
