De c ember Reflection from Yours Truly

“You will never forget a person who came to you with a torch in the dark”.

2019 12 International Laughter Yoga Congress e1606669079422 - 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 Laughter Yoga community is one of many lights and shining souls.

I count many as my dear friends and I also work with many of them hoping to work with many more in the future.

2017 12 14 74 Tivoli e1606679072612 - 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

Outside the Laugther Yoga community my life is full of beautiful people who are my friends and my family.

It is at times like these, however we have perceived the main part of 2020, that our connections, our near and dear ones hold huge importance in our attempts to maintain our sanity.

When we help each other happiness flows.

Life and living is not about achievements, it is about contribution, and Laughter Yoga teaches you valuable lessons in compassion and kind-heartedness.

‘its a season to be jolly, and to warm each others hearts with gratitude and forgiveness.

December is a month of warmth and celebration, charity and holding peace within your heart. May this year be a reminder that all these December traits must be nurtured and flourish every day of the year.

Wishing you love and kind connectedness in December!

Love, Laughter and Peace

What an awesome week we had at the Laughter Yoga Teacher training. One of the best weeks I've ever had with a bunch of incredible and like-minded people. Lotte, our trainer, was marvellous and knowledgeable and made our week epic.

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.
