Full Throttle from Yours Truly

ISIQ7641 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

The excess of laughter work flowing in during January has reignited and brought back the dream that came true by the end of 2019 with a great start to 2020 but seriously ripped to shreds the near future when we entered March 2020.

I feel grateful back then that I had the opportunity to share laughter online yet now I feel the blessings even more as the year unfolds with my diary booming with training, workshops and events for myself and for my Laughter Yoga colleagues.

My work is least of all a selfish plan to break the bank, my work is for the greater good involving people who want to be engaged in the process of creating lasting and positive chance.

January really has been a blast full of giggles, chuckles and belly laughs.

Laughter is like hugs – warm and loving.

There is nothing more fulfilling that doing the work you feel called to do, sharing moments of connectedness and the greatness of people who step into something big and bold, and laughter is all of that!

Although we are brought into this world with an abundance of laughter we seem to forget it when we grow up and become serious adults.

But hope and change is brought to you by the Laughter Yoga practice.

Where there is hope and willingness combined with a real wish to be extraordinary in life, there is method in the madness we experience when we share laughter and break through boundaries to conquer the wall of stiffness and ground rules defined by others.

Untitled - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Just a note on the expression ‘method in the madness’ as we try to avoid certain words and phrases in this world of political correctness, the phrase was first derived in 1602 in the play ‘Hamlet’ by William Shakespeare, a play I first fell in love with as I watched Laurence Olivier and Jean Simmons tell the tale of love and tragedy, murder and revenge.

I know for a fact and through experience that Laughter Yoga is a practice with huge potential for the human mind, body and soul, with potential for improved mental, physical and emotional health.

Are you ready to go beyond the comfort zone to discover yourself and your limitless life?

I am here to help you and your people connect with your pleayful selves!

Love, Friendship, Honesty, Kindness, Health, Hope, Goodness, Grace, Gratitude, Understanding, Faith, Peace, Forgiveness, Patience, Diligence, Love, Blessings and Joy from me to you!

Valentine’s Laughter for Singles, Southampton

IMG 0934 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Nicky Mintrim is Southampton’s Laughter Yoga Specialist, she facilitates fun workshops, teaches Laughter Yoga, and runs one-on-one laughter coaching programmes.

Nicky is also the Founder of the Laughter Sanctuary and I will be joining her on this special evening in February.

For this year’s Valentine’s Day the Laughter Sanctuary introduces an evening of fun with Laughter Yoga and playfulness in Southampton.

Many events are targeted at people who have their ‘special Valentine’ and still very few single people go out celebrating Valentine’s Day.

The Valentine’s Laughter Session with Nicky is for singles over 40 years of age, and it is not for dating purposes.

The evening is a networking platform where likeminded people meet and connect in laughter.

For more information about the evening and to book at only £20 please visit https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/valentines-laughter-for-singles-tickets-807267327307.

Workplace Wellness and Staff Engagement

The year has started in a laughter explosion!

Sometimes it can be difficult to fully express the gratitude felt by being able to sustain a business, a passion for helping others, when others may just see the transactions when in fact it is more than the simple exchange of service and fee.

Laughter heals, helps cope, create bonds, builds resilience, and connects us with the simple goodness in life.

It is almost like First Aid for the soul.

Where physical First Aid helps save a life, Mental Health First Aid saves a life, too, and guess what, Laughter Yoga helps save lives as well.

It is no co-incidence that Laughter Yoga has become a popular choice for workplace events, training and ongoing programmes.

The joy I feel when people connect in laughter – a different laughter than our bookshelving titter, makes me want to laugh more and sing and dance.

There is a bounce in someone’s step when they have experienced the connection with laughter energy for themselves and with people they work with, care about, have in their lives, or randomly meet in a workshop.

Business Experts Programme

2020 10 20 Business Experts 03 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

My background, or you could call it, my life before laughter, is many years of corporate work in technical support for a started, then sales, management, and marketing.

I learned many practices that work, and many that didn’t work over those years.

When I look back, I don’t think I was very good at any of it but I kept getting offered jobs, so something must have worked.

So much so the corporate experience gave me a great basis for my own business and the successes as well as challenges I have faces over the years.

Laughter Yoga Leaders, Teachers, and Coaches who have come on the Business Experts Programme have walked away with aha-moments, revelations for themselves and their business idea, as well as a drive to move forward with their dream.

Read all about it and book your place on https://unitedmind.co.uk/business-experts/.

We start the new 4-week Business Experts Programme on Tuesday 6th February at 7pm to 9pm.

For more information about training and workshops please contact me on lotte@unitedmind.co.uk.

Laughter Yoga Leader – New Beginnings

IMG 2443 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

New life had been given to Laughter Yoga Leader Training!

The courses are as popular as ever, or perhaps to be exact, as before the pandemic.

So much so the Laughter Yoga Leader Training in Neal’s Yard in London on 2-3 March is now full.

Most of us look for ways to improve ourselves, our lives, our health, our work, and everyone else’s lives, too.

Laughter Yoga gives you a platform for extraordinary change and a realisation along the way that we cannot change anyone else…

Over the 2 days you spend in a group of laughter-willing people you learn laughter exercises, presentation skills, the reasons and benefits, and most importantly you connect with your own laughter and your ability to express yourself in a non-judgmental way.

The course runs 4 weekends per year in Covent Garden in London, and ONLY once a year in Durham, Preston, and St. Albans.

Laughter Yoga is about new beginnings, a choice for a great outlook!

In 2024 the Laughter Yoga Leader Training runs on the following dates,

Becoming a Laughter Therapist with Lotte and Mel

IMG 3171 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Just a wee reminder…

Becoming a Laughter Therapist requires you to already have the skills of a therapist or holistic therapist, so you have a real-life understanding and experience in how to cope with your client’s emotional release at any given time

Those skills cannot be learned online and since the programme has its roots in psychotherapy and positive psychology there is no shortcut when you choose to become a Laughter Therapist.

Melanie Bloch and I have shared laughter and friendship since 2012, and we have worked together since 2016 when I first introduced the Laughter Therapist Training programme.

The Laughter Therapist Training runs over two and a half days but that does not complete the course.

It runs in the following way allowing you to complete within the timeframe given

  • 2-day in-person training
  • 6-12 months case study work (minimum 2 case studies to be completed, 1 group, 1 individual) finishing with a dissertation
  • 1/2 day to present your dissertation and complete the training. This day can be organised as an online or in-person meeting

If you feel this is for you and you are ready to dive into this experiential training please email me, lotte@unitedmind.co.uk, or book via www.unitedmind.co.uk/product-category/training/laughtertherapist/.

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.
