The Tao of Laughter Facilitator Training
Please note! There is no religion, no politics and no discrimination in any of the programmes from UnitedMind whether they are called Laughter Yoga or Tao of Laughter. The Tao of Laughter is based on philosopical ideas and not religious ways same as Laughter Yoga which is also non-religious, non-political.
There are often a lot of questions as to whether it is a requirement to know and practice Yoga when people enquire about Laughter Yoga Training. However, there are no requirements, one reason being that Laughter Yoga is a combination of laughter exercises and deep breathing techniques often known from Yoga, hence the name.
Laughter Yoga is for everyone and yet there is so much more to incorporating laughter into real life.
The Tao of Laughter programme is a brand new facilitator training from UnitedMind which is based on the psychology as well as the physical effect of laughter. It is for everyone and it highly recommended as continued professional development for Laughter Yoga Leaders and Laughter Yoga Teachers.
We will explore much more than laughter as we play with different types of laughter, improvisation, drama, discussions, communication and presentation skills.

World Laughter Day Review
World Laughter Day on 5th May 2013 was a great event celebrated around the world.
In the UK there were more than 20 World Laughter Day events taking place and people shared the message of World Peace through Laugther in parks and venues all over.
St. Albans celebrated our 8th World Laughter Day, this time by the wall at the Sopwill Nunnery Ruins on Cottonmill Lane – a great venue for laughter!
Thank you to everyone who shower up and shared a giggle with us and helped 2 new Laughter Yoga Leaders graduate.
We look forward to celebrating World Laughter Day with you again next year on 4th May 2014!
Laughter Coaching – long-term change
If you are looking to create change within your work environment, your private life or elsewhere for yourself and others there are undoubtedly many offers available.
Laughter Coaching is one of the truly effective tools for long-lasting positive change – if you are willing to take it on, but that is a fact for anything you do – you have got to take the challenge and commit to it!
So what makes Laughter Coaching so special? Well, it is one thing that is easily maintained once you gain an understanding of how and your own involvement. It is life changing in a powerful and engaging way, and it is just on the tip of your tongue.
Laughter really is on everyone’s lips – we just don’t always know how to access that particular strand of communication.
The 8-week Laughter Coaching programme may be an option if you feel stuck and even if you don’t feel stuck but just want that bit more extraordinary living.
Full details of the programme are available on www.unitedmind.co.uk/Laughter-Coaching.php. Please get in touch to discuss the programme for you, your workplace, your team, your school, your teachers and students or everyone else on info@unitedmind.co.uk.
