Horn-Bad Meinberg, Germany
View all pictures

Summary

Laughter yoga is a dynamic form of meditation that uniquely connects the body and mind. That’s because when you’re laughing, you can’t think—and when you’re thinking, you can’t laugh. This special experience brings inner peace, a sense of lightness, and a new zest for life. In India, thousands of people already meet daily in laughter groups to start the day together full of energy and good cheer.

In the relaxed and inspiring atmosphere of the yoga ashram, you’ll learn how to cultivate greater well-being, serenity, and positive energy through conscious laughter, breathing techniques, and mindfulness. The training provides practical, simple relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and mudras, as well as coordination exercises, forms of meditation, and healing exercises that guide you to your inner center and allow a deep, authentic laugh to emerge. Humorous yoga-based exercises, as well as laughter and movement exercises, promote joy, lightness, and a sense of community.

In addition, you’ll gain valuable knowledge about course concepts, current scientific findings, and the health benefits of laughter. After completing the training, you’ll be able to integrate laughter yoga into yoga classes, wellness programs, seminars, or your own laughter yoga courses, and guide others on their journey toward greater joy in life. 💛

Prerequisites:
This training is designed for people who want to discover the beneficial effects of laughter and share them with others. It’s also an excellent continuing education opportunity for yoga teachers, as well as for course instructors, therapists, and anyone interested in the health field.

Basic knowledge of yoga and meditation is helpful and recommended. Above all, it’s important to be open to yoga, mindfulness, and spiritual topics, as well as willing to embrace new experiences. 💛
