Effective stress management through laughter therapy
Stress has been shown to be a leading cause of workplace absenteeism.
The latest figures from the Labour Force Survey indicate that over
822,000 workers suffer from work-related stress, depression
or anxiety.
As the prevalence of stress-related absences increases,
employers face the problem of balancing concerns for
employee health with productivity and the cost of operations.
Is it possible to manage workforce stress without losing
productivity? The answer is yes. Our bespoke stress
management laughter workshops are designed to help give
employees the tools to effectively cope with stress.
According to Hans Seyle, a pioneer scientific researcher in
stress states “It is not the stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it”.
Laughter therapy is an incredible tool to help individuals cope with
stress. When you laugh you change, and when you change the whole world changes. As a result, you start looking for solutions from a more rational angle instead of allowing unhealthy stress to run your work and life.

The Power of Laughter in Stress Management Therapy
Unmanaged levels of stress can put your entire well-being at risk. Stress not only negatively impacts your mental health, but it can also negatively impact your physical health. Overwhelming stress levels make it difficult for individuals to think clearly, function effectively, and enjoy life.
Instead of being governed by our body’s fight or flight response to stress, Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy enable employees to develop a simple strategy for effective coping mechanisms to deal with the challenges of stress in a more healthy and productive manner.

Jannie Stricker2021-11-01I 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.
Michelle Ligon2021-04-27Great 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!!

Mary Thomson2020-10-27Lotte 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.
Frances Burton2020-07-25Excellent 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.
