About Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga is a fantastic way of keeping fit and healthy whilst having fun. Laughing Yoga first appeared in 1995 when a Medical Doctor introduced the combination of playful laughter and deep breathing techniques. Since then Laughter Yoga classes have swept the world and now have a presence in more than 110 countries.

With UnitedMind’s Laughter Exercises, the aim of the session is to transform the initial simulated laughter into genuine hearty laughter. Breathing exercises, active movement and real laughter, such as spontaneous laughter, suppress stress hormones like cortisol, which improves a person’s mood, lowers blood pressure and can help build a stronger immune system.

Laughter Yoga is now widely accepted by the medical and scientific world, and large organisations are using Laughter Yoga to enhance the well-being of their staff.

Lotte held a couple of session at MADE.com HQ for our lovely employees and it was super fun and got everyone laughing - really brilliant. Our team really relaxed into the sessions and helped release any built up tension or stresses from their day to day life. Everyone left feeling energised as well as with a deep calmness. Thank you for working with us and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

I completed the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training in October 2021. The week was very useful, and I learnt a lot. All the laughter we shared not only in the classroom but also outside was amazing. As a first-hand research, I actually noticed a change in my mind and body after a full week with several laughter sessions a day.

Great laughter yoga online leader course! I was nervous at first but Lotte was brilliant - she has a very easy going, warm and engaging style which really helped. The course was super informative, interesting and fun. Everyone in the group really gelled and it was a very rewarding and supportive experience. I can't wait to get involved in more laughter sessions and eventually start running my own!!

Lotte has been very flexible and compassionate throughout the Laughter Leader Training that I attended live online. The experience was wonderful. I felt supported and encouraged throughout. Lotte gives her full attention and provides a high quality level of information and administration. I found the timing to complete the course was just right, and helped me to attend and manage the course. I highly recommend Lotte who has years experience, deep wisdom and humility; willing to share the learning she has gained through Teaching Laughter yoga. I am very happy to recommend Lotte. I look forward to further training with Lotte.

Excellent course which was adapted for virtual learning. Small group so we had ample time to ask questions and practice skills. Learning was fun and practical. I would definitely recommend Laughter Yoga training and it has already been of interest to prospective employers for role in wellbeing and inclusion.

Lotte Mikkelsen is outstanding! She's the breath of fresh air that the world needs, now more than ever. I trained with Lotte as a Laughter Leader during the Covid-19 Lockdown in 2020. Even online, her warmth and wisdom shine! She's an expert in the field of Laughter Yoga and I admire the way she blends her professional business background with her evolved laughter skills. She laughs effortlessly and it is infectious (in a good way). She's an excellent teacher and communicates clearly, with reassurance - encouraging your sense of confidence in a field that might be new to you. Whether you go on to lead laughter sessions, or teach, you will have so much fun you'll want to share it. There are tremendous health benefits to Laughter Yoga and Lotte will teach you about those and the scientific background as well as many fun exercises that will boost your mood and your immunity. All the best with your journey - DO start it with Lotte, she's an expert for good reason. Highly recommended!
