Laugha Yoga is an ancient, new idea for reconnecting us to our true self. Through Yogic Laughter sessions, Yoga nidra (guided deep relaxation), pranayama (yogic breathing practices) and meditation we can reach a profound level of peace, joy and relaxation.

Get your certification to lead Laughter Yoga sessions and bring the healing and uplifting practice of intentional laughter to others.

In this program you will:

• Play freestyle “laughter games,” which release endorphins and T-Cells to produce immediate and profound boosts to your mood, immunity, health, creativity and confidence levels.
• Discover why prolonged intentional laughter, a simple technique that has been overlooked for centuries, is being recognized again as a therapeutic method (first publicized in the West by Norman Cousins in his book Anatomy of an Illness).
• Learn how to use laughter as a form of social medicine spreading social health to the world.
• Receive a certificate to lead Laughter Yoga Sessions (Certified Laughter Yoga teacher) after completion of the weekend.
• Receive a mp3 downloadable file filled with printable handouts of laughter benefits, writings and audio/video.
• After completion you will be listed with Dr. Madan Kataria’s world-wide Laughter Yoga Pro Zone website for six months free of charge.
• Be eligible for 12 Yoga Alliance continuing education hours.
