Refurbishing our home
Unitedmind.co.uk is currently undergoing changes and I hope you will bear with us as we are getting it all together again. I am really excited about the new look and feel as it is now becoming future-proof with tablet and smartphone friendliness.
Our other pages have also gone through a transition so please feel free to stop at StaffLaugh, Gibberish Communications, Life Healer, and World Laughter Day UK.
Please visit us on www.unitedmind.co.uk.
Why ask in the first place?
Perhaps we want something more or even extraordinary in life and from life?
Over the years many, many people, teams, organisations, communities and other groups or individuals have enquired about Laughter Yoga training and workshops, and I have had the pleasure of facilitating hundreds of workshops, and with the January 2016 training just held, I have been teaching 100 Laughter Yoga Leader Training courses plus the recent years of Laughter Yoga Teacher and Gibberish Training.
With a passion for positive change and a heartfelt desire to share the benefits, that come from learning and practicing Laughter Yoga, I sometimes wonder what happened to the people who asked for training or workshops.
Things are known to change, of course, in this world and understandable people have a change of heart or circumstances.
Besides, Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy may not always be at the top of the wishlist although it has the potential to make real and amazing life-changes which is what a lot of us are looking to create.
However, there is always room for sharing laughter and even if the situation has changed I firmly believe the long-term effect of learning Laughter Yoga leaves us all more resilient to future changes – whether we predict or anticipate any or not.
You are always welcome to join us for laughter, joy, play or even tears!
Regardless how long ago we made first contact you are most certainly welcome to get back in touch at any time! And no matter how your life or circumstances, views or visions have changed laughter is something that benefits everyone we meet and greet.
Laughter Yoga really is a fantactic skillset to learn!
When I think about the many different groups I have worked with since 2003 when laughter workshops really took off for UnitedMind, the impact and blessings I feel from having been instrumental in creating change by far exceeds my initial expectations of making a difference.
Many comments have moved me and I truly appreciate anyone who has willingly been led through a laughter session and felt some form of benefit. Just a few recent comments – there are many listed on Testimonies:
“Lotte was fantastic, making the whole group laugh and giving us great examples of how to relax through laughter. I would definitely recommend these laugher workshops to anyone who wants to have fun, relax and feel amazing with lots of positive energy!”
“I found the laughter workshop a lot of fun. We were explained about the benefits that laughter has on the body and how simple exercises each morning can affect your day. Not only was it interesting from that point of view but the course was also very practical and everyone in the group found it incredibly enjoyable. Needless to say we laughed a lot!”
“Really positive experience. It was a great way to energise a staff team and I was very impressed but how Lotte linked it all to lung health.” British Lung Foundation
“Fantastic! I would highly recommend this style of workshop to any corporate client, and would most certainly recommend Lotte to deliver it – she was incredibly accommodating.”
Thank you for all your positive as well as constructive feedback over time – I could not have made this work happen without you!
Please check your spam folder if you are expecting a response to your enquiry from me and UnitedMind about Laughter Training or Laughter Workshops or Laughter Clubs or other laughter-related matters.
Rekindle with your initial thought, it may sometimes take years before action – it did for me, and it did for some of my Laughter Yoga Leaders and Teachers, but there is always room for more people who wish to share a positive angle to life, or wish to learn how to experience life in a different light, or just want to learn a new trade, or learn other thoughts on laughter and how to be more sharing, caring, compassionate, confident, healthy, happy and fulfilled.
There are lots of special early bird offers as well as offers that are not listed, so please contact me on email, info@unitedmind.co.uk, mobile 07736 341 717 or start by booking your own personal training via www.unitedmind.co.uk/shop/.
