Laugh and Learn With the
Laughter Yoga Institute
Laughter Yoga is the practice of laughter as a form of exercise, free of the need for jokes or comedy, where yogic breathing is integrated with intentional laughter techniques. Participants live life more joyfully and are better able to cope with whatever stresses life may bring them.
Laughter Yoga was created by Dr. Madan Kataria (a physician from India) with his wife Madhuri (a yoga teacher) in 1995, and developed and promoted in the USA as “therapeutic laughter” by psychologist Steve Wilson.
Workshops and Programs for
People, Leaders, and Business
The Laughter Yoga Institute offers state-of-the art training programs, workshops, seminars; and innovation and advancement in the world of therapeutic laughter.
The Institute Programs include seminars, workshops, and heart-opening Laughter Adventure programs to relieve stress, develop emotional intelligence, and bring a sense of celebration to life.
The two-day intensive Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training program is authorized by the Dr. Kataria School of Laughter Yoga. Graduates of the program become Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders.
Laughter at work is a management tool to improve communications, increase creativity, and reduce stress and the accompanying illness. Employees who enjoy coming to work are less likely to move on. Laughter Yoga sessions bring the basic skills to the workplace; training programs for managers and CEOs help keep the skills alive and growing. Custom programs are available.
